Meeting conflict as a door to deeper intimacy
What is it about? How can it help me?
the play within: Embracing Conflict
We help you relate to conflict differently, moving from fear, avoidance, or exhausting patterns to honesty, presence, and care. Together, we meet conflict as a practice — a doorway to deeper connection with yourself and others. This work is for you if you find yourself struggling in your relationships, in patterns like people-pleasing, shutting down, avoiding confrontation, or repeating painful cycles. Through body-based awareness, deep listening, and emotional tracking, you’ll learn to stay grounded in your truth, even when it’s hard. This work helps you: – Speak your truth with confidence – Stay calm and centered under pressure – Move into deeper, authentic connection with yourself and others


This is not a quick fix or a formula.
This is a process rooted in practice, presence, and honesty — inviting lasting change. I support you in shifting from avoiding conflict to engaging with it with clarity, care, and courage. We move through three core steps:
Safety in the body
Practice to stay present with discomfort instead of collapsing or avoiding. This is the foundation for real connection.
Brave communication
Find your voice, set boundaries, and express what’s real — even when fear or guilt are present.
Relationship repair
Turn conflict navigation into a practice toward deeper intimacy, where rupture becomes a chance to grow closer.
A healthy relationship is possible
How does it work?
This approach is built on a balance of guided sessions, personal exploration, and clear integration; designed to support deep, sustainable change.
1:1 or 1:2 Sessions
Online or in person, these sessions are the core space for insight. You choose to work individually or bring someone you’re in relationship with.
Session summaries
After each session, you receive a short summary with key insights and reflections to support integration between sessions.
Home practices
This is where the real change happens; consistent and embodied work. The practices are simple and that doesn’t mean they’re always easy.
Integration lives in daily practice
Transformation starts when the changes you long for are lived in your relationships.
We grow together
Imagine conflict leading to honest connection instead of distance.
Together, we’ll help you set healthy boundaries, express what matters, and stay present with your feelings. You’ll break old patterns and build relationships grounded in trust.
If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start living nourishing relationships, the play within will guide you there.
Play isn’t just light or fun
It’s a way to be in relationship with the world.
Pricing Model
A pricing model rooted in Reciprocity and Community
I believe that building resilience in relationships is essential—and it shouldn’t be available only to those with the financial means. At the same time, financial reciprocity is important for my own sustainability so I can keep doing this work with care and dedication.
This model shares responsibility for access, inviting the community—not just me—to support everyone’s process.
That’s why I offer a sliding scale pricing model with three options:
Supportive Price: 30-50€ For those who need financial ease. This price is supported by the community fund, contributed by members who choose the Supported price, along with my own resources. Real Price: 50-70€ The fair value for this work, reflecting the energy and care I dedicate to supporting individuals and relationships. Supported Price: 70€ - 90€ A contribution that helps sustain the community and enables those with fewer means to receive support.
Please note these prices are per session of 1.5 hours, not per individual. If none of these options fit your situation, please reach out. We will find a way to make this work accessible to you.

Testimonials
what clients say about me and my work
Rita & Carmen
The way Linda is able to make us see each other, even when we find ourselves in complete survival mode is simply outstanding. We would not want to live without her sessions anymore. She is saving our asses every week!
Matteo Tangi
I'm grateful to have received Linda's help. She supported us to slow down our communication and notice what was happening between the lines. She helped us to listen in a deeper way and to speak with more clarity and care. This made us feel more connected, less defensive, and more open to each other.
