About Rouven

I've grown to be a relationship & intimacy artist.

Working in the coaching field for 12 years now I specialized on conscious partnership and alternative relationship about 10 years ago having successfully accompanied over 1.000 couples by now. I was the founder and CEO of the 'Institute for Beziehungsentfaltung' in Saarbrücken, where I invented the method of 'Bedürfnisorientierte Paartherapie' ('Needs-oriented Couples-therapy').

For several years I am focussing on bringing trauma-sensitivity and bodywork-approaches into the field of relational work and investigate the relation of the nervous system, needs, trauma, behavioral patterns and upbringing in accordance to relationship and partnership.

​

This is the basis for 'evolutionary relating' - a conscious and intentional way to use the field of relationships as an incubator for personal and cultural growth and developement.

​​While in private continuously working through my behavioral patterns, relational trauma and partnership experiences, Love and Integrity appeared to be my biggest teachers; always anxious and curious what they  will teach and where theay will guide me next. Most of my methods and paradigms arise from this heart-full and committed path and I am continually refining my teachings and expertise according to my own insights from my diverse relational experiences. I'm constantly searching for ways for connecting genuine Love with personal Integrity - and guiding others to do likewise.

​

​

Passing on my perspectives, experiences and expertise I'm noticed as "a guide of the guides, a teacher of teachers, a liver of life and an embodied expression of Love."

 

I hold a doctors degree as a cultural anthropologist and my field of interest has been relational evolution ever since. Seeing relationships as the space in which we can form culture through awareness, I passionately guide people into more selfresponsibility and vulnerable intimacy within their relationships. As a Qi-Gong Teacher and certified Sexological Bodyworker I use practical somatic approaches for more fulfillment in sensuality and bodyawareness of my clients. Several years I have been experiencing, learning and assisting in the community of Embodied Intimacy, constantly broadening my knowledge through practice.

​

I'm based in Leipzig (Germany) working as a couples therapist and intimacy coach as well as giving trainings for new Evolutionary Relationship Coaches and therapists in Germany, Finland and soon also in Sweden.
