Psychotherapy can mean to find words for the incomprehensible, to share it, to commit it to someone, to reflect experiences, to sort out, to work it out in order to leave it behind. Sometimes words cannot be found to express what affects the person deep inside. Creative media like dancing, movement, painting, writing, can pave the way to expression.

Elisabeth Moser
is a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist ASPV/SVG with an emphasis in body work, dance and sensory perception. Born in 1948 in Basel, she studies psychology and science of education in Geneva from 1968 to 1973. After that she works in various institutions in her profession. The wholeness of the human being as a “body-soul-mind being” is the leitmotif of her professional career. Her passion – the dancing – accompanies her during her studies at the university. The logical consequence is a formation in body centered psychotherapy. After 10 years of professional experience as a psychologist she changes to a self-employed status by opening her “Studio für Tanz und Gymnastik”. In 1995, after getting the cantonal approval for psychotherapy, she adds to the activity of body work the practice of psychotherapy with the focus on Gestalttherapy and creative media.
