Profile
Barbara Hielscher-Witte
PH.D (Cand.), University Lecturer, Music Therapy Lecturer, Practitioner for Psychotherapy (HPG), Eurhythmics Diploma
My personal and professional development is shaped by the longing to understand from all sides and in all dimensions:
How do verbal and non-verbal forms of knowledge work together in us and between us? What different kinds of relationship to the world do they generate?
The beginning of this ongoing research was made through an artistic study at the University of Music, in which I explored the multiple relations and spaces between music and movement. Curiosity led me to the USA for an in-depth musical method training with movement. In the following professional practice with children, students and adults as a music teacher, university lecturer and trainer, the need grew in me to better understand the emotional dynamics in those relationships between music and one's own movement. Through depth psychology-oriented music therapy study and the work as a music therapy lecturer, I finally became aware of the influence that all of our forms of expression can have on the individual development, on mental health and social interaction.
Today, my many years of experience and my in-depth training give me the competence to deal professionally with the demands of the moment.
I relate to you with attentive care, strategic intelligence, patience and creativity.
