Arno Steen Andreasen

Doctor of psychotherapy, integrated body therapist - and expert in body-centred approaches.

"It excites me to stand in the complexity and help my clients with pain relief, finding meaning in suffering, and managing stress."

My own story

When the body says no

Responsibility has always been the headline of my life. I became a trustee at 14, married at 21, a manager at 23, later an international manager, and completed a doctorate in psychotherapy while having a family and a full-time job++.

I have always been driven by a passion to make a difference, but it has also had its consequences. Excessively long working days led to immense fatigue, depression, high blood pressure and the list goes on.

Getting the body talking

This led to a time of soul-searching and big, far-reaching decisions. I changed my diet and sleep patterns. I came out as gay, got divorced and lost my job as a consequence. I lost my home and had to return to Denmark after 19 years in England.

It is costly to live life at full speed. It costs to live in the closet, but it also costs to come out. But my quest to live a more authentic and integrated life bore fruit. I threw myself into body therapy and other body-oriented programmes because I saw how transformative it is when we get the body talking.

"Great massage! I am a returning customer because the practitioner really knows what he is doing. Every time I come, I get exactly the treatment I need. Professional, skilled and with a good sense of what is needed. Highly recommended!"

"Finally found the best masseuse in Amager.
Unfortunately, my masseur of many years in Kastrup closed down. I've tried a few different things since then, but it wasn't until I found Arno at Vestamager that I found the best masseur again. The clinic is located in Ørestad South overlooking Kalvebod Fælled. Soothing surroundings and magic hands.
Highest recommendations!"

St Thomas

"Again a fantastic treatment at SOMA!!!
I have praised SOMA and Arno in the past and I will continue to do so. Absolutely fantastic! You are listened to and treated based on what you say and Arno treats not "only" the pain area itself, but the whole problem (and more). Knowledgeable guidance and explanation along the way - and in addition, you are lovingly received by lovely Micah (dog). All my warmest recommendations from here!"

You don't have to break before you do something about it

Maybe you're also used to taking responsibility. Maybe you have a job with high demands, a busy schedule and maybe you ignore the signals your body sends, just like I did.

There was always another deadline to meet before I could allow myself to take time off, recharge and make important personal decisions.

Maybe you're thinking that the tension in your neck, the poor sleep, the headaches, the tiredness, the irritability are just part of life. But that's not a life. It's a hamster wheel.
