’Arriving home in our body and being present may be the most revolutionary act we can begin with’’

I am Hami (او,they,them), born in 1981. As an explorer, lifelong learner, and much more, I embrace a
journey of fluidity, self-discovery, well-being, and growth. Among many identities, my lived experience
includes being trans, non-binary, queer, PoC, semi-disabled, neurodivergent, a survivor, and having an
exile background.
These aspects do not wholly define who I am but instead shape my daily life experiences in numerous
ways. In this context, I also hold privileges in terms of education and residency status, though these were
earned through significant struggles arising from my disadvantages.
In my pursuit of growth, justice, and liberation, I have accessed resources that have often been colonized
or appropriated from various BIPoC communities. This access has occurred through the survival wisdom
of my own ancestral medicine elders, grassroots efforts, as well as institutional education in fields such as
Holistic Therapy (Heilpraktiker und Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie (i.A.)), Clinical Art Therapy (MA),
Somatic Training, Gestalt Therapy (i.A.), Somatic BLS/EMDR Therapy, Mind-Body Medicine,
trauma-informed Sexological Bodywork with a focus on LGBTQIA+, Fine Arts, Comparative Studies of
Religion and Mysticism, Psychology, and Social Studies.
In my practice, I lean on ancestral wisdom, life experiences, intuition, insights from plant medicine, and
various BIPoC communities to develop supportive, embodied practices with a decolonial lens. Through a
trauma-aware, intersectional approach, I support individuals and groups in reclaiming internal and
collective resources, re-empowerment, and transformation resources through creativity,
ھوﻣﺎHouma/somatic practices, body-mindfulness techniques, and conscious sexuality tools.
I speak Farsi, English and German.
All my offers are non-medical and non-psychotherapeutic services. They do not constitute the practice of
medicine or psychotherapy under the German Heilpraktikergesetz (HPG) and do not replace medical,
psychiatric, or psychotherapeutic treatment. Across all offerings, the focus lies on prevention,
self-awareness, and resource-oriented support within an intersectional-informed framework.

What I offer
I offer sessions based on clinical art therapy tools, as well as somatic and psychosocial support
approaches that integrate art-based methods, body-oriented practices, and trauma-sensitive awareness
within a non-medical framework.
My work provides structured, supportive spaces for creative expression, embodied awareness, and
reflective exploration of lived experience, emotions, stress responses, and life challenges. The focus lies
on supporting self-regulation, emotional clarity, and access to personal and collective resources through
guided creative and somatic processes.
Sessions may include art-based exploration, somatic practices, body-based regulation techniques,
mindfulness-oriented approaches, and EMDR-informed bilateral stimulation elements, depending on the
format and individual needs.
In group settings, I facilitate Mind-Body Medicine (MBM) skills groups (maximum 8 participants), which
integrate psychoeducation, mindfulness, somatic practices, and creative methods within an
interdisciplinary learning framework that draws from modern medicine-informed approaches, body
awareness, and creative arts-based techniques.

I also offer Mental Health and Self-Collective Care programs for activists, caregivers, and
community-oriented groups through workshops, seminars, retreats, and educational formats that offer
sustainable practices of individual and collective care.
A few words to give you a sense of my approach

Health and Politics: The discourse around health, including mental health, psychology, and care, has
been deeply individualized under colonial and neoliberal wellness culture. Collective care has been
separated from self-care, and self-care reduced to a commodified package shaped by white supremacism
and capitalism. Modern medicine often fails to adopt an intersectional approach. Most diagnoses and
treatments are centered on and normalize the white, cisgender, heterosexual body and psyche, ignoring
diverse realities. Western science has historically been dominated by cisheteronormative white men,
whose biases have shaped its frameworks and practices.
Colonial Dichotomies: In many older cultures, the body and mind were, and often still are, seen as
inseparable. The binary thinking imposed by modern colonial systems enforces a harmful mind-body split,
negatively impacting both individual and collective well-being. This divide is also seen in the hesitation to
recognize the importance of collective mental health and the harm caused by oppression and colonial
ci/systems.
Holistic Approach: Sustainable and impactful practices that view the whole person, body, mind, and
emotions, within a social and political context have roots in older cultures of BIPoC communities. These
practices were often colonized, appropriated, and stripped of their origins, and are now primarily
accessed through institutionalized somatic therapy, creative art therapy, bodywork, sexological bodywork,
and conscious sexuality practices. Unfairly, the very communities that inspired these practices often have
the least access to them due to ongoing colonization, capitalism, white supremacy, and intersecting
ci/systems of discrimination.
