Today, my love, you matter.
Somatic and relational work for women, with Lisa Rombach-Duarte.
Vienna and online.
You are the one who holds it together
You remember everyone's appointments. You notice the mood in a room before anyone speaks. You can care for almost anybody — and find it strangely difficult to be cared for yourself.
You have read the books and done the trainings. You carry real responsibility in other people's lives: your children's, your family's, sometimes your clients'.
You do not need another method. You need what you already know to be available to you in the moments that actually matter — when your child is falling apart, when a conversation turns intense, when someone needs something from you and you feel yourself quietly disappearing.
That capacity is what I call embodied relational presence: staying connected to your own experience while you are in relationship with someone else. Everything here is a way of practising it.
What is happening now
MOTHERGLUE — a free class
Who holds you when you hold everything?
Monday, 7 September 2026 · 6.00–7.15pm Vienna time · online
Mothers hold a great deal that nobody sees. This hour is about the holding itself — what it asks of you, where it lives in your body, and what changes when you are held too.
MOTHER CIRCLE
Eleven live classes, online. Mondays from 28 September.
Eight circles from Kimberly Ann Johnson's Mother Circle curriculum, which I have now facilitated six times, together with three live bonus classes with guest teachers. We meet Mondays, 6.00–7.15pm Vienna time: four weeks, a two-week pause, then four more, finishing on 30 November.
There is room here for mothers at every stage — mothers-to-be, mothers of small children, of teenagers, of grown children, adoptive and foster mothers, mothers who have lost a child, and grandmothers. Most circles hold several generations at once.
Early booking closes 15 September.
Work with me, one to one
A few women at a time, over several months, in Vienna or online.
The Nurtured Mother
The support you need to keep caring — without losing yourself
For mothers who hold a lot and rarely feel held. We work with the real experience of motherhood: the invisible load, the emotional intensity, the quiet loss of self — so you can find your ground again, restore your energy, and stay present without disappearing into your own life.
The Embodied Practitioner
Deepen your presence, so your work can land
For therapists, coaches and counsellors who want to meet clients with more precision and more of themselves. We work with your embodied presence in relationship — your capacity to sense, orient and respond in real time. As your body becomes a more reliable instrument of attunement, your sessions gain depth and direction, and your work becomes more sustainable.
The Liberated Voice
Find your voice — and express it without leaving yourself
For artists, leaders and creators who want to be heard as themselves. We work with voice, body and presence as one system, so you can say what is true, stay connected while being seen, and bring your work into the world with clarity.
I am Lisa Rombach-Duarte
I have worked with bodies since 2008 — first as a medical massage therapist, then through Feldenkrais, craniosacral work and Somatic Experiencing. Since 2018 I have developed and co-led professional training programmes with my husband, Alé Duarte, which is where I learned as much about accompanying groups as about accompanying individuals.
I have held Mother Circle six times. I live in Vienna with my family and work here and online, in English and German.
What interests me is the moment understanding stops being an idea and becomes something you can feel. That is the thread through all of this.
Tending the Embers
Letters between circles — on motherhood, the maternal line, and staying in relationship without leaving yourself. They arrive when there is something worth saying, not on a schedule.
