Understanding, highly professional, positively challenging: our 10 units together were an incredible enrichment for my path and thanks to you, dear Doris, I was able to discover many things that really give me a lot of mindful pleasure: Archery and sword fighting are an ideal addition to my existing practice ! Thank you very much for picking me up, accompanying me and continuing! Looking forward to more units when it's possible again! Namaste!

Doris' martial arts mentoring helped me enormously with the difficult process of coming to terms with experiences of domestic violence. Although I had been in psychotherapeutic support for about 3 years before that, including trauma therapy, working with Doris showed how enormously important it is to actively integrate bodywork into this process. The body remembers! Because of this, working on the body level can even release blockages that talk therapy cannot. I am very grateful that I was able to have this experience with Doris!

Dear Doris! I would like to thank you very much for the many experiences I was allowed to have. You have been very patient and resourceful with the exercises and have made me aware of many things and so I hope that I will continue to use them in my everyday life.

Martial Arts Mentoring at Doris Nachtlberger, is that something for me?

In a protected, benevolent setting, to deal with my attitudes, movement possibilities through physical exercises. ..it is a very individual learning. I become more flexible and feel myself more. It works.

Martial arts mentoring - a slightly different mirror
In my self-assessment, I was weak-willed, anxious and – I'm a little ashamed to say so publicly about myself – “useless”. Thanks to the martial arts mentoring, I was able to get to know myself from a completely different side. Once the burden of the expectations of the world out there is laid down, I collect myself, there is a lot of strength. A lot of power. If I concentrate on myself and the here and now, which has worked better and better over time thanks to Doris' help and guidance, then I can feel this willpower, this courage and this competence. This is how archery became a revelation - I even cried. Even if I'm not the most disciplined when it comes to exercises, this image that I saw in the mirror of the mentoring that Doris presented to me, I'll always have it with me from now on. I know where the journey can lead, who I can be. It was all worth it and I am very grateful to her for the experience.

A few months ago a friend of mine recommended KOKORO-DO (martial arts) to me. I have big family problems, which unfortunately I can't do anything about. I was depressed and felt totally helpless and weak. I couldn't imagine what this martial art would do for me, but then I made a trial lesson. Ms. Nachtlberger explained to me in detail how I can gain more mental strength through the body, which aroused my interest. Today I'm glad I learned the different exercises, which help me a lot.As you know, you can't change others, so you have to change yourself! Yes, some things have changed for me, I feel stronger, clearer. Because I enjoy it, I continue to do the KOKORO-DO training sessions at longer intervals. Thank you Ms. Mag.a Nachtlberger!

“I would like to thank Doris for her mentoring work with me! As a victim of physical, psychological and sexual violence, I have already experienced a number of therapies (talk therapies, art therapy, body therapy), but none of them gets to the 'core' and is at the same time so reprocessing and stabilizing. It's such a fine concept that starts so fundamentally that you can really bring about changes with seemingly 'simple' exercises! Doris senses very well where her own inhibitions are, how to overcome them, where space needs to be given, which proximity/distance is beneficial for the process - even without words, simply in the self-image of the work she does.

It is an uplifting, an 'education' that causes her work; you come into direct and immediate contact with yourself, with your own issues, but also with your own strengths, your own strength and your own abilities, and in Doris you have an attentive, appreciative and benevolent counterpart who supports and accompanies this sometimes challenging career . Thanks."

Ms. Nachtlberger's mentoring work was recommended to me by a friend. At first, I was a bit unsure about the subject of martial arts, as I tend to avoid conflicts head-on. However, my curiosity got the better of me, and so I took the risk. I've now completed 10 hours of work together. 10 hours in which I've learned a great deal about myself and my old patterns of behavior and reaction. I'm now finding it increasingly easy to address things directly and without reservation, in a way that has pleasantly surprised me. In every hour of working with Ms. Nachtlberger, I experienced a very appreciative, individually tailored, and benevolent atmosphere. It was an atmosphere that I would have needed more of as a child, and which I can now "catch up on" as an adult in this setting.

For a long time I was looking for a way to act out the energies, blockages and aggression that had arisen from severe abuse. I finally found what I was looking for in martial arts mentoring from Doris Nachtlberger and finally found a way to come to terms with my aggression and energies in addition to my talk therapy. The training is an excellent supplement to talk therapy, as it is possible to go into the body and release the anger that has arisen. I highly recommend it and feel that more of these offerings are needed to meet the need for companion training. Doris Nachtlberger was the ideal companion for this process. With her empathetic nature, she responded exactly to my needs and accompanied me in the best possible way.

Ms. Nachtlberger's work was recommended to me by a friend. Dealing with the topic of martial arts irritated me at first, because I usually avoid conflicts directly, but my curiosity won out and so I took the risk: I have now worked together for 10 hours. 10 hours in which I learned a lot about myself, my old behavior and reaction patterns. I am now more and more able to address things directly and without reservations in a way that positively surprises me. I experienced the work with Ms. Nachtlberger in every hour of cooperation as very appreciative, individually coordinated and benevolent. A climate that I would have needed more as a child and that I can "catch up on" as an adult in this context.

The technically extremely competent, present and benevolent nature of Ms. Nachtlberger helped me to fully develop. The movement sequences were finely tuned to me and specifically sensitized my perception and awareness. The atmosphere of the dojo (exercise room) also conveys a sense of security and "being carried". I notice very positive changes in my everyday life. I can integrate what I have experienced well, feel more alive all over, healthier and full of joy. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Nachtlberger and her unique way of working!

The training with Doris Nachtlberger is great: she guides wonderfully, leads to the center/own strength and enables completely new experiences of one's own body, one's own voice. I find the feedback of their perceptions particularly helpful in order to feel better about myself and to be able to correct the individual movement sequences. She really made it so that I never got embarrassed about the difficulties with the exercises...

And by the way: I haven't laughed that much in a long time! Thank you very much for the valuable hours!

the Martial Arts Mentoring For me as an entrepreneur, hours in the Kokoro Dojo were a very good way to consciously switch off from stressful everyday life and to be able to gather new energy. Especially the professional management by the founder Mag. Doris Nachtlberger in connection with the methods is highly recommended. The combination of several exercises, tailored to individual needs and preferences, was an additional plus in the context of this coaching.
