Ottos served as my integration specialist after my 5meo DMT ceremonies with Tandava Retreats. Considering that I am a sex worker, I often find that humans swiftly move into projection or dumping of their own baggage around sexuality, kink, and rostitution when attemting to hold space for me. This was far from th case with Otto. He was a ble to receive and witness in true presence from a place of nobility, dignity, grace, and integrity. I’m so grateful that he was the person I was paired with and will certainly be requesting him again the next time I sit for ceremony.

to draw out and rewaken the most shimmering aspects of peak experiences, a remarkable ability that stands out from the more predictable approaches of so many therapists, healers, and teachers I’ve encountered in the three decades of personal exploration and my own work as a psychotherapist. Although it was not an explicit goal when we started, I’ve been applying what I’ve learned from Otto to great positive effect with my own clents, making e appreciate his perspective and buoyant approch even more!

Honestly is is reassuring how much he has witnessed, that he has seen the patters of how people move through this again and again. Yet he approaches everyone’s circumstances with raw compassion and real time curiosity. Plus a large toolbox of practices and theories that ae always growing. I get the imprssion that for Otto, it is a true gift, and a likfelong passion to collaborate with everyone’s inner wisdom, nd watch the healing process unfurl in all its marvelous and complicated manifestations. You are in good hands.

I was blessed to have Otto guide me through a confrontation with deeply challenging unconscious material as our work together cultivated a sense of deep listening and acceptance o all parts of the Self. Beyond the crucial sklls I learned through Otto (parts work, somatic awareness, and ream work), there’s soething deeper that is birthing itself into existence — a budding sese of wholeness, freedom, confidence, and groundedness in Self that s home right in the darkness, this unfathomable mystery of being. I’m so excited to see what comes next in working with Otto and I wish for others to experience the depth of his compassion, skll, and soulfulness in excavating their own treasure. - A.S.

As clinical psychologist for over 15 years, I have been trained in many therapy modalities and engaged in several types of therapy for personal growth, however, in recent years I have noticed a building disillusionment with my field and traditional approaches to working with psychological distress (aka as a “problem” to be “fixed”). Otto’s non-pathologizing approach has really helped me to reconnect with my essential truth - he Self that has always been there and to whom I lose my way constantly. His presence and attunement, coupled with his immense knowledge of mythology, Jungian psychology, parts work, and true soul work allows me to feel safe and have permission to goto the places in my psyche that I block myselg from going to on my on. Every time I walk away with this nugget of wisdom that feels like it’s been with me my whole life but has been just out of my reach. Each session helps me to feel re-awakened in a way that traditional psychotherapy has not accessed. I began to work with Otto as an inegration mentor, but ur sessions have quicly tuned ino some of the most important workon my Self and Soul that I’ve ever done and I feel truly blessed to have found him at this stage in my journey.

I don’t know what it is and sometimes I’m still skeptical of it, like I think I’m just being weird or something, but something about the way you held space for me and the things you taught have hd such a profound impact. Like no one has been able to soften my heart more

What I love about Otto and his work is that he gets really curious an asks the deeper questions which gives one space to find resolution within themselves. Otter will never inject his own opinion or giveadvice, rather he guides you to get all the parts of you on the same team and working seamlessly. Through working wit Otto, I have learned how to holding loving space for tender parts of myself that I have shamed and blamed for years. I have more awareness and compassion towards the younger me who just wanted love and validation. Im learning how to give this to myself in my day-to-day raher than seeking it from oters. I ameternally grateful for Otto and will continue to refer him to my clients and frieds.

His perspectives and insights amaze me every tie we work together. You can feel that he truly cares about the peple he works with. He wors as your equl, sharing his own wisdom but always pointing you back to yours. He has helped me trust myself more, an has provided a safe place to hellp me untangle so many inner webs. His approach is a great balance of mind/body/spirit, which has rally helped me find that same balance in myself, staying grounded an centered. So may breakthroughs have happened for me in the months we have worked together. Thank you thank you 🙏

Otto has a beautiful ability to be able to alk side by side his client in illuminating all parts of themselves that are seeking to be seen - all of the love and fear, the anger and thankfulness, the sadness and joy. It feels as though he has helped me to gather all of these fibers of my being and to begin re-weaving the tapestry of y life that once felt so damaged and frayed. Thank you Otto for so gently holding space for me to find healing. Working with you will always be considered a milestone in my life.

while exploring the layers and angles of things in different ways has been magical. At times I’m in tears and at other times playful but it feels transcendent and spiritua in a way that has everything to do with da to day life. I feel a sense of safety and trust in our work together and appreciate how he shws up so authenticaly and honesty. I’m so grateful to know Ott and to have the opportunity to work with him.

Reaching out to you to express my gratitude that goes way beyond words. Thank you for your willingness to do these sessions with me via Victoria and Joel. There experiences have honestly been life changing. When we got off our last call I had a huge release, I was crying in awe and gratitude, fee ing like somwthing very heavy has fallen off my whole system and a sense that soome big prieces of the puzzle of my essence being have been put together, reunited. Being guided by you to meet certain parts o myself feels like unclockin ultimate freedom and the deepest love towards self that is possible. Therefore opening the door to express and share more love towards others. I am amazed how much can shift within two sessions. And I ca sense that al of what I take out of it will accompany me in all tht Iam being and doing. Thank you for holding this beautiful container during our sessions. It feels so easy to open up to you and surrender to your gudence. I am very grateful for the presence, wisdom and your ow experiences you shared with me. THANK YOU!

versatile in diverse schools of knowledge, thoughtful and insightful. Collaboratively, Otto has joined me on journey of investigating signs, souls, symbols, psyche, and experience. WHether it’s exploring a dram of connecting around a poem, work with Otto alway feels as if we re drawing from the same source - even when doing so through our distinct consciousnesses. Sine. starting to work with Otto, I’ve found myself building increasigly deeper relationships with pars of myself that have long been restricted by conscious awareness., limiting narratives, and unconscious resistance. How do these deeper relationships with the world show up? In moments of spontaneous laughter, a deeper connection to presence in the world and my own environment, an n enhanced sense of energetic and authentic creativity.

This weekend was probably the best experience I’ve had in my adult life, I’m so grateful, & appy having been a part o something so special. So wanted to thank you again.

Through his gentle care and strength of guidance, I was able to learn a significant new tool to help myself release some seriously deep blocks, and now feel able to consistently reach such incredible centered-ness ad self trust. I ca honestly say I think it would have taken another year or so to get to this point without learning this specific work from Otto.

Ah it makes me sad that this will be one of ur last sessions for a bit! I’ll always be so thankful for o both gently and powerfully you have held space for me. I’ve never felt so safe and compassionately seen and held in a container where I can begin to access all of th parts of myself that hace been hidden for so long. I would love to talk more about a possible retreat and how you envision it!
