My goal is to support you to reconnect with your body in asafe and nurturing space. As a somatic bodyworker, I combine my brain, heart and hands to ease your pain, tension and help you to move better and foward, using an unique holistic embodied approach.
The name Corporificar stands for Embodiment in Portuguese. It emerged as a personal project in 2017. A digital space, where I could collect and share thoughts about the topic, and it has evolved further, proudly creating many relational connections and supporting the community. I truly believe that our body is our first and most valuable home, and I'm here to guide you on a journey to better understand and care for it. Let's embark on this path together, where healing is a personal, transformative, and holistic experience.
I'm Mônica (she/her), Brazilian, currently living in Berlin. My journey in the realm of healing and well-being has been a deeply personal and transformative one. With a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy, specializing in Orthopedics & Traumatology and a strong emphasis on Manual Therapy, I've spent over a decade practicing hands-on therapy.
But my approach extends beyond the clinical. Embodied practices such as Yoga, Breathwork, Mindfulness, Dance, and Pilates are not just hobbies; they are integral to my life. These practices have not only nurtured my body but also opened my heart and mind to the holistic connection between physical and mental well-being.
As a manual therapist and bodyworker, I've delved into the intricacies of the body and pain through a subjective and personal lens. By feeling in my own skin how much my physical and mental health improved by these tools, I believe in the power of embodiment - the mindful ability to be truly present in our bodies. It enriches our perception of life, providing a wellspring of resources to empower our overall health. My own migratory background, living in Germany as a Brazilian, has also given me a unique perspective on how self-care, a sense of belonging, and cultural influences can impact one's health.
As expected, the session helped me to relieve bodily tensions. But what I liked the most was that I clearly noticed that the relaxation also happened in the psychological field. I realized then that the tensions in the body were also accumulation of worries and anxieties in the mind. I spent the rest of the week with a lot of lightness and movement, which were things I was missing. I was able to work and study with more quality.
This is a great investment in yourself, which brings benefits to the quality of your days.

Highly recommended physiotherapy in Berlin, I was experiencing back pain related to work stress and through 5 sessions I not only ameliorated the pain, but learned exercises to improve my posture and stress over the long run. They accept TK insurance and speak English and Spanish.Thank you Mônica for your amazing job!
P.S. , Physiotherapy (coverd by public healthcare)treated in Roseli Dutra's Praxis.
Monica's work helps me a lot, not only through the well-being provided by the massages, but mainly by helping in the rehabilitation process and improving the quality of life. This is done through her monitoring, exercises and guidance she gives to improve the management of injuries.
The environment in which she receives us is always very well prepared and there is a clear care to keep us comfortable and relaxed during all the sessions.
I have already recommended her work, both as a massage therapist and physiotherapist, to several people and will continue to do so.

It is a pleasure to write about the impeccable and transformative work that Mônica practices, I would like to recommend it to everyone on this planet to book a serie of Pantare sessions with her! I attended four - one per week - sessions, and it was an absolutely transformational experience in terms of emotional healing, breakthroughs, trauma rehabilitation and opening up new spaces. She has not only exquisite knowledge and technical skills, but she is also a professional who is interested in people and committed to go along with her patients, investigating with care and generosity, really touching dormant dusty spots, through awakening the body to its potential integrity. I will certainly return many times and I surely recommend her work to all people wishing to live with expanded health quality and bounteous self-knowledge.
