HELP YOURSELF PROGRAM
"Lie down. FEEL. Let go. Sometimes that is the deepest form of HELP."
Sonja Ruprah-Weihs
Help Yourself Program - Like a mini vacation. Just for you.
In everyday life, we often learn to persevere, to function, to keep going.
But the body silently carries what we cannot let go of. This is exactly where the Help Yourself program comes in.
A space for retreat, regeneration, and deep relief.
Help Yourself has been a very emotional journey for me.
I have so often wished that I had a few more hands to help me with my customers.
When I work passively with my clients, they enter a state of very deep relaxation and regeneration.
It's a bit like a trance or deep meditation. Without realizing it, your body begins to let go.
This requires a lot of training and sensitivity in your hands at the beginning.
If I want to treat tension in the shoulder, for example,
I place one hand under the shoulder blade and lift it up.
It's like the princess and the pea—lots of mattresses underneath, and the pea is the annoying tension.
It's best to do this so gently and unnoticed that the person being treated doesn't notice anything.
This is really exhausting for the practitioner.
The nasty thing is: when you look at it from the outside, you think:
"What are they doing? Laying their hands on? ... and that's supposed to relieve tension and pain?"
YES, if only it were as easy as it looks.
The second hand, on the other hand, feels like a pleasant heaviness that begins to sink you infinitely deep.
Now the chemical cocktail in our body begins to work fully for you, bombarding us with happiness hormones.
Like the most restful sleep you can imagine.
This is where the miracle of letting go begins. You sink so deeply and comfortably, as if you were melting around the "pea."
But be careful! Now the lower hand must react quickly
and respond with even more counterpressure—just enough so that the shoulder does not land completely on the "pea,"
i.e., the tension. This is repeated until the pea becomes smaller and smaller and eventually dissolves. Because these peas are part of our body and manifest as compacted tension,
we can also dissolve them again.
After many years of experimentation, I finally had my little helper ready: Help Yourself.
Like a second trainer, I was suddenly able to bring about even more beautiful and faster regeneration experiences. I noticed that the effects were sometimes even more effective than my hands.
The cloud, which takes over the work of the lower hand, was able to react much more finely to every change in tension
than my hand, which simply tires after a certain amount of time and loses strength.
But the cloud carries you—no matter how long.
The looser takes over the function of the upper hand, which ideally exerts traction and pressure.
Dr. Stecco describes this very impressively in her book "Anatomy Atlas of Fascia":
how differently fascia reacts—and should therefore be treated differently.
But something else completely unexpected turned out:
Suddenly, I was able to treat myself. An unexpected joy when you can enjoy pure relaxation after a job well done.
The Help Yourself Package was born.
It quickly became clear that it's not only a great second trainer, but also a way to help yourself (you don't always have the perfect masseur next to you).
Just place it in the right spot—and the magic begins.
So, if you want to treat yourself and give your body and soul some deep relaxation,
Help Yourself is your ideal partner.

A look at the program
This short video gives you a first impression of how the program is structured—with a real excerpt from one of the units. Feel how movement, guidance, and effect come together.
Letting go of what the body no longer needs to carry
The Help Yourself units are holistic body journeys that get you moving—and at the same time take you deep inside yourself. Each exercise sequence targets specific challenges and gives your body exactly the impulses it needs to regenerate, strengthen, and reorganize itself.
-
Back Activator – 32 minutes for your foundation.
Targeted relief for tension in the lower back, strengthening your abdominal and back muscles, and getting your spine moving – ideal for hollow backs, sciatic pain, or old disc problems. The program also has a beneficial effect on menstrual pain and a weak pelvic floor.
-
Wing Power – 45 minutes of new lightness for your upper body.
Relieve your shoulders, cervical spine, and elbows. This session gives you mobility when your shoulder blades are blocked or your fingers seem immobile. You will also feel relief from tennis elbow or tension radiating into your hands.
-
Energy booster – 45 minutes that will lift you up.
Ideal for rounded backs, shallow breathing, and weak legs. This program helps you overcome exhaustion, improve your posture, and breathe deeply again – for an upright, lively body.
-
Easy Going – 40 minutes for a brisk walk.
Activate your pelvis, relieve your knees, and bring your gait into balance. Particularly valuable for blocked knees, weak arches, or increased effort when walking or running.
-
Wake up – 40 minutes for active days and peaceful nights.
This session gets you going in the morning and helps you relax in the evening. It helps with general fatigue, sleep disorders, and poor concentration – and gives you new energy on a physical and mental level.
-
And if you just want to relax a specific part of your body...
Then you can also treat individual areas of the body: e.g., shoulders, back extensors, lumbar spine, thighs, knees, calves, upper arms, elbows, or hands.
Your body tells you what it needs—and Help Yourself gives you the right tools to do it.
