Through talk therapy and body-based practices, Iza supports her clients with emotional regulation and self-trust. Beyond private sessions, workshops and events, Iza is cultivating a new language for practitioners through her education branch, ensuring that her holistic approach becomes a shared cultural asset.

Here Iza gives us a glimpse into her practice as we discuss body-based healing methods and somatic shaking.

Can you explain what somatic shaking is?

Shaking is a powerful somatic practice that helps regulate the nervous system. Trauma, stress, and tension can get stuck in the body over time, leading to physical tightness and a sense of disconnection. During a shaking practice, we release these holding patterns and allow energy to flow freely through the body. The experience can feel liberating, relaxing, emotional, or all of the above.

People today can feel overwhelmed, disconnected from their bodies, or stuck in coping patterns—how can somatic practices bring people back into their bodies?

When we are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected for a long time, our body often becomes an uncomfortable, or even unsafe, place to be.

Our nervous system can get stuck in fight/flight mode. And although the body is actually very smart—it prioritises survival by directing energy toward our muscles—it is also shifting energy away from other essential parts of the body. Oftentimes, it is our prefrontal cortex that is taken offline. This is what makes it harder to ‘think our way out of’ these emotional states.

By bringing the body into a relaxed state, we signal to the brain a false alarm that we are actually safe. This bottom-up signal is a powerful way to calm the nervous system.

Body-focused practices are essential both for managing immediate emotions and for establishing a baseline state of ease, so that relaxation feels familiar rather than frightening. It’s actually in a calm, regulated state, where we have the space to integrate and process feelings and experiences. That’s why it can also feel difficult to actually go there, because it’s the place where suppressed emotions surface and can no longer be denied.

Why do you think body-based healing methods are becoming more popular right now?

We’re remembering something we’ve always known, especially as more of us are searching for a sustainable way to deal with the challenges we face. Body-based healing practices have been around for thousands of years; what’s happening now is that we’re rediscovering them rather than inventing them.

For example, when I studied Ayurveda in India, my teacher explained how we can use the qualities (in Sanskrit called 'gunas') of food to restore what’s missing in our body. I thought, “working with the body is so powerful, in it’s simplicity”

It’s the same with practices like breathwork, somatic shaking, and massage. When we spend most of our day sitting still at a desk or trying to push away feelings we would rather not feel, it’s no wonder our bodies protest. Our bodies tell us exactly what they need.

What’s a common misconception people have about somatic shaking or body-based therapy?

One misconception is that these body-focused therapies are quick fixes. While the brain can shift quickly, the body often needs more time. Sometimes a single session can create a noticeable, sustainable change, but often consistent practice over time is what really leads to real, lasting results.

On the other hand, these practices don’t need to be long. Many of us don’t do some of the things we know are working because we believe we don’t have enough time for them. I always encourage my clients to integrate small practices into daily life—to make it as small and simple as possible so it is just part of your life. For example, you could practise voice toning, a powerful sound healing method that produces intentional tones and vibrations to support well-being, while driving, or you could shake for a few minutes in the bathroom when feeling stressed.

Consistency matters way more than the length of the practice.

What signs tell you the body is ready to release?

I learn a lot from the breathing patterns I observe and the way someone holds their body. There are so many details to notice, because the body speaks mostly in subtle ways (until it doesn’t). It can be how someone literally opens up their body posture or how they start to deepen their breath and bring it to their belly when it was only in their chest at the beginning, when I see their shoulders come down or when their movements become more fluid. Sometimes it looks like sighing, shivering or little twitches that the body starts to make. Often it is noticeable in a few different ways, as it reflects an overall state change.

A ritual for you

Start to experiment with your bodies by shaking. It doesn’t have to be with a therapist, although it can be helpful if it feels a bit scary to go there by yourself.

It can also be in your bedroom with the door closed for just 5–10 minutes. Put on a song, close your eyes, and shake it out.

I have dealt with crippling anxiety for over 20 years, and this has been the game-changer for me. Learning how to work in alignment with my nervous system, instead of trying to fix the feeling within the story my mind tells me but from the place of my body, has made all the difference.

One of the first ideas introduced was seasonal energy. In TCM philosophy, spring is not just a change in weather. It’s a period of renewal within the body as well.

Each season is associated with an organ system, and spring belongs to the liver.

The liver governs the smooth movement of Qi (pronounced chee), the body’s vital energy. Its energy is expansive and rising—qualities that mirror the season of spring. Just as the earth pushes new shoots through the soil after winter, the body is thought to release stagnation and allow energy to move outward again.

This same principle applies to the menstrual cycle.

TCM focuses on reproductive health through the balance and circulation of Qi and Blood, as well as the functional systems of organs such as the Liver, Spleen, and Kidneys.

The Yuan-dynasty physician Zhu Danxi, one of the most influential figures in TCM history, emphasized the importance of emotional balance and the free flow of Qi and Blood. He taught that stagnation—often linked to stress, suppressed emotions, or lifestyle imbalance—can contribute to illness.

Understanding this framework completely changed how I think about the menstrual cycle.

Your Cycle

When Qi flows smoothly, blood circulates properly, and the body remains balanced.

The liver is often described as the body’s “General,” responsible for keeping Qi moving freely throughout the body. When liver qi flows smoothly, menstruation tends to arrive regularly and with minimal discomfort.

The kidneys, meanwhile, are considered the body’s "root of life.” They store what TCM calls essence (Jing)—a foundational energy that supports the creation of blood and the body’s reproductive capacity.

When either system becomes depleted, symptoms such as irregular cycles, PMS, fatigue, ringing in the ear, or painful periods may appear.

What struck me most

Instead of pushing the body to perform on a constant schedule, TCM encourages us to work with the natural rhythm of the cycle—an ebb and flow of energy that we see throughout nature.

To honour these internal phases, align your plates and movement with your body’s shifting needs.

The Yin Phase: Menstruation & Follicular (Day 1–14)

This is your time to go inward, reflect, and rebuild.

What to eat

Days 1–5: Focus on warmth. Think steaming bowls of soup, stews, and cooked grains. Prioritize iron and blood-building nutrients like leafy greens, beetroot, and lean meats. A signature ritual: brewing jujube tea (and eating the dates after).

Days 6–14: Support the liver with lightly steamed vegetables, sprouts, and sour notes like lemon.

Movement:

Menstrual: Gentle breathwork and light stretching.

Post-period: Transition into Vinyasa, Pilates, or dance to awaken the energy.

The Yang Phase: Ovulation & Luteal (Day 15–28)

This is your time for outward energy and stabilizing the fire.

What to eat:

Day 15 (Ovulation): Opt for cooling salads and bitter foods (like gourd) to support heart health. Avoid alcohol and spicy foods.

Day 16–28 (PMS): Ground yourself with root vegetables and sweet potatoes to support the spleen and ease PMS cravings. Avoid fried foods and cold dairy drinks.

Movement:

Ovulation: This is your peak. Embrace high-intensity movement—sprints, HIIT, Hyrox, or heavy strength training.

PMS: Barre, moderate cardio, hiking, spin, slow flow yoga, and strength and technique training.

Jan Gerber is the founder and CEO of Paracelsus Recovery, the discreet luxury mental health clinic in Zurich, Switzerland — a trusted retreat for members of royal families, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and global leaders seeking support beyond the glare of public scrutiny. Gerber has pioneered a one-client-at-a-time model that blends highly personalized therapy with holistic wellbeing practices, focusing not merely on symptoms but on the deeper root causes of stress, trauma, and burnout.

Overlooking Lake Zurich, Paracelsus Recovery operates from private, fully serviced penthouse residences that feel more like exclusive homes than a medical facility. Treatment takes place within spacious apartments designed for comfort and discretion, eliminating the experience of waiting rooms or institutional settings. Instead, clients receive uninterrupted, one-to-one care from dedicated therapists and hospitality staff. Each day is carefully structured around the individual, with every element—from the setting to their personalized schedule—intended to create a sense of safety and stability, allowing clients to step away from external pressures and focus fully on the work of healing.

Since we aren’t checking in just yet, we spoke with Gerber to discuss therapy, emotional resilience, and the daily rituals that sustain high performance, offering a rare window into how leaders can nurture their wellbeing while navigating extreme pressures.

Jan, the word ‘therapy’ has carried a stigma and been looked at with disdain, fear, or as an illness. Today, that perception is shifting toward curiosity and openness. How do you define the role and necessity of therapy as a tool for living?

What a poignant question, and a tricky one, as there are so many different types of therapy! I think, for a long time, we had a very rigid idea of what was ‘normal’ and what wasn’t, and over the years that line has stretched and blurred. Now it’s increasingly common to recognise that everyone has struggles, some big, some small, and no one is perfectly healthy. That’s a huge step forward because it creates space for imperfection, which is essential.

Therapy, in my mind, is about creating space to see our flaws without judgment. It’s a way of saying, ‘we are not perfect; we are here to grow.’ It also helps us understand which patterns and beliefs are truly ours and which have been passed down or imposed.

Above all, therapy softens the inner critic and helps us relate to ourselves with more compassion, which is always a good thing.

In 2026, we’re focusing not just on discipline and strategy, but on maintaining the drive that powers it all. High performers often optimize tactics while overlooking the engine running the show. In your experience, what is the number one blind spot successful people ignore until it breaks, and what should we be doing now to ensure we don’t burn out or lose momentum?

Oh, it’s mental health, without a doubt. High performers aren’t unaware of it; it’s just easy to overlook when meetings, emails, and tasks feel urgent. But emotional resilience (i.e., how we feel and how we talk to ourselves) is the engine behind everything. The moment it’s neglected, stress builds, cortisol spikes, and our focus starts to fragment. I’ve experienced it time and time again myself and now I live by the mantra ‘meditate like your life depends on it.’

However, one of the reasons so many of us ignore our mental health is we are so hard-wired to push through. For example, for any high-performer reading this, close your eyes and scan your body. Notice that pit in your stomach you’ve been ignoring? That’s your body asking for a break, and ignoring it doesn’t just leave the discomfort in your body; it allows stress and tension to build, affecting your mind, emotions, and ability to cope. In other words, ignoring these signals is essentially ignoring your mental health, because the body is a messenger for the mind.

I know how tough it can feel when our schedules are jam-packed, but try to remember that you’re not a surgeon; the work will wait. And, if nothing else, remember that small rituals like mindful movement, brief reflection, or connecting with someone you trust are not indulgent; they are essential if you want to sustain performance and well-being.

Extreme success often brings extreme isolation. For the founders and leaders in our community who feel the pressure to hold it all together, how do you teach them to drop the mask?

Completely, and for many of the leaders we work with, isolation is almost always at the heart of the issue. Imagine being a CEO: the weight of responsibility, knowing so many people’s lives depend on your decisions, and feeling like you can’t make a mistake. That pressure naturally creates distrust of others and sometimes even of yourself.

At Paracelsus Recovery, we help clients drop the mask by creating an environment built on absolute trust, confidentiality, and client-centered decisions. If a client needs their phone for work or must travel for obligations, we support that. At our core, our model works because we never try to take away the client’s agency. In fact, our work usually involves trying to help clients re-find it. The live-in therapist plays a significant role in this, as their 24/7 presence enables work to happen in the moments when clients are most vulnerable. That consistency, discretion, and attention give leaders the safety to lower their guard, rebuild trust, and reconnect not just as executives, but as human beings.

How do you curate the environment and treatments at Paracelsus to signal to a client’s mind and body that they are finally safe to exhale and heal?

At Paracelsus Recovery, everything is designed to communicate safety to both mind and body. From the moment a client arrives, we focus on light, sound, space, privacy, and the rhythm of daily routines. The goal is to create a world with no sudden demands, no external pressures, and no judgment.

Our 360-degree treatment model, coupled with our one-client-at-a-time approach, ensures uninterrupted and tailored attention. As a result, every client has the opportunity to feel fully seen and heard. Each treatment (e.g., trauma therapy, yoga, neurofeedback, or even a quiet walk) is paced intentionally, allowing the nervous system to slowly recalibrate. Over time, chronic tension, hypervigilance, and anxiety ease.

The client learns it’s safe to rest, to breathe, and to inhabit a space where healing is possible. This environment, combined with our team’s support, allows real change to unfold at a pace the client can actually tolerate.

1 meditation or breathwork session

Morning run with Balu

Method:

“For the first hour, my world is deliberately simple, which is the opposite of the busy day ahead. These moments aren’t about perfection, but rather it’s about creating stability or a container that can hold the rest of the day together.”

You may know Jason Momoa as Aquaman, the protector of the seas, or as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones—or, like us, from Baywatch Hawaii and North Shore (remember those days?). On a sun-drenched afternoon at Barfly by Buddha-Bar Dubai, he set aside these screen personas and shared something closer to home, introducing us to Meili Vodka, a spirit rooted in respect for the environment.

As he stood behind the bar and offered a shot of Meili neat, my first instinct was to brace—memories of harsh vodka from early drinking days instantly came to mind. Yet as the crystal-clear liquid met my palate, the expected burn and sting never arrived. Instead, it revealed a clean, well-rounded sip, with a smooth finish and hint of sweetness.

“Vodka sucked, so we fixed it,” says Momoa.

Redefining the Spirit

This wasn’t a quick fix or a product that he slapped a label on. Meili is the result of a nine-year commitment alongside his best friend and fashion designer Blaine Halvorson to create the perfect union of the four elements in a bottle. Together, they searched the globe—from Antarctica to the Northwest Passage—for a water source pure enough to anchor a spirit meant to be savoured with the same reverence as a fine mezcal or whiskey.

Little did they know, the search would end closer to home, near Halvorson’s father’s Montana house. Drawing from a 300-million-year-old aquifer, the natural and unfiltered spring water they found is so pristine, it is among the rare few in the country to meet the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) purity standards directly at the source. This water is the true keystone of Meili, celebrated as a “living ingredient.”

A Commitment to Intention

For the founders, it was essential that Meili be shaped by natural elements, with each playing a defining role in the vodka’s identity. Fire serves as the creative force behind the textured, hand‑formed bottles, made from 100% post‑consumer recycled glass. Water is the soul, drawn from a 300‑million‑year‑old Montana aquifer that flows through miles of subterranean caverns. Earth gives Meili its body through native and seasonal grains sourced from local family farms, while the crisp Montana air acts as the final “breath of life,” as the spirit is allowed to rest and breathe before bottling, resulting in its signature smoothness.

“Things you make have to reflect your ethos and what you want,” Momoa reflects, noting that Meili was a deliberate departure from the “icy and stale” profiles that are typical to the spirit. In a move against the industry standard of triple-distilled erasure, Meili is distilled only once. This ensures the spirit remains biologically intact, preserving the velvety texture and inherent character of the Montana grains.

This integrity extends to the vessel as well, as each bottle is crafted from recycled glass that was headed for a landfill. The process of rebirth gives the glass a unique antique green hue and subtle, trapped bubbles. These are not defects; they are sensory anchors—physical history you can feel in your hand. “We love the imperfections, the bubbles on the bottle. It just looks better to me, more handcrafted,” Momoa adds.

Sensory Power

Neurogastronomy—the study of how the brain integrates taste, smell, texture, sight, and even sound to create flavour—helps explain why Meili engages the senses so fully. Unlike some industrial spirits, which can lose their natural aromas in processing, Meili preserves the signals our brains use to perceive complexity and authenticity. By avoiding industrial shortcuts, the founders let the mineral soul of water and the natural sweetness of earth shine through, inviting drinkers to savour every nuance.

For Momoa and his business partner, this elemental approach was essential to crafting a vodka they could stand behind. “When I sip it, I’m very proud of myself,” he says.

“Even now, when I have it around the world, I’m like, wow! This is really good. It’s taken nine years to make something beautiful that lives up to what we love.”

Community Ritual

For those embracing conscious drinking in 2026, consider the practice of mindful sipping. Too often, we drink on autopilot, guided by labels rather than the liquid in the glass. Wellness Butter encourages breaking that cycle by hosting an intimate gathering focused on intentional drinking that respects the environment.

“You want to know how good Meili is? Do a neat sip of other brands, and then sip Meili, and you will absolutely know,” Momoa challenges.

The goal is a simple recalibration of the palate. By noticing the difference between the sharp “burn and smell” of other varieties and the velvety, unstripped character of Meili Vodka, you begin to drink with a new level of awareness.

“You owe it to yourself to know how good it is so that you never have to drink anything else ever again,” says Momoa, proving that Meili isn’t just another vodka. It’s an experience.

The Philosophy

Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) is a mystical tree native to the coast of South America, historically revered by the Incas and Indigenous cultures of the Andes. Its name literally translates to “Holy Wood.”

The philosophy is rooted in kindness and healing. In Shamanic practice, the smoke is believed to clear misfortune and seal the space with positive energy, creativity, and love.

The Science

Why does that specific smell make your shoulders drop? The answer lies in the chemistry of the wood.

Palo Santo belongs to the same botanical family as frankincense and myrrh. It is incredibly rich in limonene, the same natural compound found in citrus peels. Limonene is known to be anxiety-reducing and mood-enhancing. When inhaled, it triggers the olfactory system to signal safety and relaxation to the brain.

You may notice Palo Santo smells lighter and sweeter than sage. That’s because it is chemically designed to uplift rather than just neutralize.

The Ritual

Palo Santo burns differently than sage.

Hold the stick to a candle flame (a match is often too short). Let it burn for 30 seconds. Blow it out. You want a glowing orange piece of wood on one end, not a flame. Unlike the open window rule of sage, you can use Palo Santo in a more contained way. Walk the space, imagining you are sealing the corners with gold light. It extinguishes itself quickly, so you may need to relight it.

Note: Palo Santo can be found in the same stockists as sage.

Burning sage, often called smudging, is perhaps one of the most recognized rituals in modern wellness, but its roots go deep. It is an ancient practice grounded in Indigenous wisdom, particularly among Native American cultures (Lakota, Chumash, and Cahuilla), where it is one of the four sacred medicines alongside cedar, sweetgrass, and tobacco.

Smudging is used to gently remove heaviness from the air, often left behind by stress, a leftover emotion, long week, or a difficult conversation. At Wellness Butter HQ, we believe that just as we wash our hands to clear bacteria, we clean our spaces to clear stagnation.

The philosophy is simple: Smoke attaches to heaviness.

When the smoke rises, it binds to negative or stagnant energy. As it dissipates out an open window, it carries that weight away with it, leaving the space neutral and clear. Think of it as a reset button for the senses.

The Science

For the skeptics, the benefits of sage are not just metaphysical. There is a grounded, physiological shift that happens when we burn herbs—a connection between scent and the brain that goes beyond simple aromatherapy.

The Negative Ion Effect

Much like the feeling of air after a thunderstorm, burning sage releases negative ions. In our high-tech homes filled with positive ions (from screens, Wi-Fi, and pollution), sage smoke can help neutralize this electric charge, potentially boosting serotonin and lifting your mood.

Antimicrobial Properties

While we don’t use it as a substitute for cleaning, studies suggest that the smoke from medicinal herbs can have antimicrobial properties, helping to reduce airborne bacteria. It is literally, not just spiritually, cleansing the air you breathe.

Know your sage

Not all sage is the same.

• White Sage (Salvia apiana): The classic. Pungent, herbaceous, and sweet. Best for deep, heavy clearing after an argument or illness.

• Desert Sage: Earthy and warm. A gentler option for daily grounding.

• Blue Sage: Often used for healing rituals and abundance. It has a lighter, more floral scent than white sage.

• Common/Garden Sage (Salvia officinalis): When dried and bundled, it offers a sharp, clean scent perfect for focus and clarity.

When to Sage?

The Sunday Reset: To clear the weekend energy and seal in calm for the days ahead.

The Friday Threshold: To signal the nervous system that the workweek is over and soft presence is now welcome.

Post-Dinner Party: To reclaim your private sanctuary.

After Heaviness: To physically release the tension left in the air after a difficult conversation or long day.

Vintage Finds: To reset the energetic history of a pre-loved object.

Post-Travel: To clear stale air and help you land back in your body and space.

The Ritual: Open the Window/Door

The biggest mistake people make? Keeping the windows closed. You must give the heavy energy somewhere to go. Open a window or door before you light your bundle. Light the sage—preferably with a candle flame or matches—and let it burn for 15 seconds, then blow on it a little so it smolders. Move clockwise around your room starting with your doorway (entrance), and focus on corners, dark spaces and objects to release negativity. Think or say this out loud when smudging:

“I am clearing what no longer serves me and this room and making space for nourishment.”

Where to find sage in Amsterdam?

1) Black Moon Botanica (Spiegelgracht 30-H, 1017 JS Amsterdam)

2) House of Formlab

3) Mahara Holistic Lifestyle (De Clercqstraat 123 HS, 1053 AK Amsterdam)

4) Terra Incognita (Van Baerlestraat 77-HS, 1071 AS Amsterdam)

And remember, sage does not just clear the air; it shifts the atmosphere. It acts as a sensory cue which signals to your nervous system that tension is released, and the space is now yours again.
