Highly capable individuals can
understand their patterns and know
how they want to show up.
Strong teams can know what needs to happen
and work well together.
But when the stakes rise, automatic responses, self-sabotaging patterns, friction and procrastination can return.
More information and thinking harder often
don’t change that.
What is missing is the capacity to
choose your response consciously,
in line with what matters —
even when pressure and urgency activate habitual patterns.
That capacity requires deliberate practice.
If you can’t afford to
let pressure decide how you respond,
Embodied Self-Mastery is for you.
I work with individuals, leaders and teams who want more than insight, wellness or stress management — and are ready to develop the capacities that help them respond in line with what matters, even when the stakes are high.
Hi, I’m Anja.
Embodied Self-Mastery is the structured expression of what I have learned through years of embodiment coaching and facilitation, nearly two decades of Shaolin Kung Fu, Qigong and Zen practice, and the rigour of my background as a theoretical physicist.
This approach stands on the work of my teacher Mark Walsh (and his teachers Paul Linden, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, and Wendy Palmer). It is also deeply shaped by the Shaolin and Zen teachings passed down to me by Shifu Shi Heng Dao, and grounded in nearly two decades of my own practice.
