Welcome
Body Compass -
coming home to yourself.
“The purpose of Compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the core stories people tell themselves – to get them to see what story they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go of the hold those stories have on them ….”
You are not alone !
Hi! I'm Ines Susanne Brantner.
Great that you're here.
For more than 20 years, I worked as a social worker with a deep commitment to personal growth, both my own and that of others.
Cranio Sacral Balancing opened up a new way for me to integrate the wisdom of the body into my work. Even in conversation, the body can serve as a central resource, allowing new ways of thinking and behaving to be not only understood intellectually but also directly experienced and anchored through the body.
For me, the body is the key to transformation. My passion for the possibilities that unfold when we include the body has given me the courage to open my own practice, to support and guide those who seek to reconnect with themselves.
Outside of work, I have a deep love for travel. From October 2022 to September 2023, I fulfilled one of my dreams by taking a year-long trip around the world with my husband, Christian, and our teenage son, Simon.
It was an exhilarating and transformative experience, and the freedom I felt during this time inspired me to rethink my approach to work. Compassionate Inquiry® has helped me gain the confidence in myself and my tools to offer Somatic Coaching and Cranio Sacral Balancing to anyone who feels drawn to my services.
My professional background
Having graduated from high school, I packed my bags and spent the next three years abroad. After a year as an au pair in France, I moved on to England, where I worked for a few months in catering and then for Delta Airlines for the remainder of my stay.
Back in Austria, I settled down and worked for Austrian Airlines as a Flight Attendant for four years. It was an exciting time as I also flew long haul (worldwide) and stayed up to 10 days at destinations. The struggle with jet lag, the desire to start a family, and the desire to further my personal development led me to train as a social worker. My journey in social work began at a counseling center for sex workers, where I developed a deep commitment to advocacy and support. Over the past 20 years, my work has expanded into the fields of addiction and migration, allowing me to guide and empower individuals facing diverse and complex challenges.
Important events during these 20 years include the birth of my son in 2009 and the completion of a Master's degree in Social Work at the FH St. Pölten. Pölten. A training in Craniosacral Therapy introduced me to the topic of trauma.
