female informed

I design my personal training consistently around female physiology, so training load and recovery match your biomechanics, metabolism, cycle, energy, and current life stage.

Somatic

I show you how to connect breathing, movement control, and muscle activation. You learn to notice compensation early and distribute load more effectively.

Embodied

What you learn in training carries into everyday life. You notice early when stress rises, when you slip into protective patterns or tension, and you regulate your nervous system and body through breathing, body tension, and technique.

A good fit if you

Individuelle Biomechanik und Trainingssteuerung bei Bodhiflow: Eine Frau beim Krafttraining für schmerzfreie Bewegungsmuster
Sportwissenschaftlerin Melina Vassilas – Deine Personal Trainerin für Frauengesundheit und Krafttraining in Berlin

I show you how to work with your body instead of against it: female-informed mindful strength training for women in Berlin, aligned with female biology, your cycle, energy, and recovery.

What do you get?

My work combines modern sports science and sport psychology as one system: female physiology as the starting point, with biomechanics and training control as the foundation for pain-free movement patterns and mindful strength training. Somatically guided in training and embodied in everyday life: regulation through body feedback, self-leadership under stress, clearly coached and practical to apply.

Process in 3 steps

Personal training in Berlin. Clearly coached, female-informed. Mindful strength training, recovery, and everyday life as one system – so you build physical resilience, stay mentally clear, and respond with emotional stability.

1. Fill out the inquiry form

You give me a brief overview of your goal, everyday routine, energy level, and any possible complaints. This helps me prepare for your personal training.

2. Short intro call (around 30 minutes via video):

We clarify your starting point, set priorities, and decide whether studio training or an in-home session in Berlin fits best. You get initial orientation and the next steps.

3. Trial session and start plan

In the trial session, I look at your movement patterns, posture, and technique, and we set the first guidelines for training load and recovery. If it feels like the right fit for both of us, I then build your training in a structured way - with clear progressive overload and tools to use between sessions.

FAQ.

If you are looking for a personal trainer in Berlin who coaches strength training with precision and understands posture, discomfort, and energy as one connected system, you are in the right place. My work is sports science-based and highly practical: biomechanics, pain-free movement patterns, and female physiology are at the center. Training is available at John Reed Prenzlauer Berg and within roughly a 15 km radius – depending on your schedule and logistics also as an in-home option, for example in Mitte, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Schöneberg, and Charlottenburg.

For women who want to get stronger and are looking for a clear, professionally guided structure. Especially if you don’t want to treat body recomposition, posture, pain, or stress as separate topics – but want an approach that is practical, sustainable, and easy to understand.

My studio setting is at John Reed Prenzlauer Berg. I rent space there and you can train with me there at no extra cost. Personal training is also available within roughly a 15 km radius and, depending on planning, as an in-home option – for example in Mitte, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Schöneberg, and Charlottenburg.

Body recomposition means reducing body fat while building muscle. To achieve that, you need clean strength training, solid technique, sensible progressive overload, and a strategy that fits your everyday life and stress level.

Yes. Especially as a beginner, technique matters. We build the foundations: movement patterns, stability, muscle activation, and a clear, step-by-step approach to increasing load.

Often yes – especially if the cause is related to posture, movement patterns, load distribution, or missing strength. I assess your mechanics and build targeted stability and technique so load is distributed more effectively again.

I work from a sports science perspective, integrate sport psychology, and do not follow cookie-cutter plans. For years, I have been developing and applying my holistic concept Triple fit: physical, mental, and emotional as one system.

This is also where my mindful strength training comes from: deliberate execution with focus, guided breathing, and clear muscle activation – so you build tension where it is needed and move load safely. You learn to recognize your limits early and get stronger in a sustainable way.

Rest periods are part of the method: not empty downtime, but intentional regulation so quality and performance stay consistent.

Yes. Female physiology is part of my training logic. That means training load, intensity, and recovery are guided so your training works with your body, not against it.

No. Offering plans only goes against my work ethic. I work through real coaching: technique, corrections, progression, load management, and implementation in everyday life. I support long-term and intentionally avoid short-term arrangements.

Yes, depending on distance and weekly scheduling. In-home sessions are ideal if you want a setup that truly fits into your everyday life.

Yes, of course. But in the morning cortisol is naturally higher, so do not train fasted. A small portion of protein plus some carbohydrates beforehand helps stabilize energy and your stress response.

And because body temperature is lower in the morning, plan a slightly longer, progressive warm-up so muscle temperature and activation ramp up and your technique stays safe.

No. Personal training is independent of a gym membership. At John Reed Prenzlauer Berg, I can bring you in free of charge for our session.

You start with a short intro call (online). Then we do your first session with an assessment and clear priorities. After that, we build your plan so it fits your everyday life and creates measurable progress.

You will receive the full price list in advance. Pricing depends on the setting (John Reed Prenzlauer Berg or in-home within roughly a 15 km radius), session length, and frequency.

Yes. During menopause, strength training becomes the most important lever for muscle mass, bone strength, metabolism, and overall resilience. I guide intensity, volume, and recovery so you build strength consistently without pushing past your limits.

In perimenopause, hormones often fluctuate more; in menopause, they shift in a more stable way. This affects sleep, stress response, energy, and recovery. That is why I adjust your training rhythm and load progression individually instead of working from a standard plan.

Yes. The focus is on progressive strength training, sufficient protein, a sensible nutrition framework, and smart load management. The goal is not an aggressive cut, but a body that responds reliably again.

My focus is on women because female physiology, the cycle, and hormonal transitions like perimenopause and menopause are often missing from classic approaches. That makes training, recovery, and nutrition priorities much more precise. Many women also feel safer and more clearly guided with a female coach, especially when it comes to technique, discomfort, and body image topics.

Yes, as a complement to the training strategy. If you have blood work, I use it as orientation for priorities in training load, recovery, and nutrition. Medical diagnostics are handled by physicians; I translate the insights into a practical approach.

Somatic means: body-based. It is about using body awareness as orientation – breathing, tension, pressure, and the felt sense of movement – instead of relying only on external cues. At Bodhiflow, that means we guide training load so you do not compensate, but consciously build strength, stability, and resilient movement patterns. Example: When you squat, hinge, lift, or stand up, the lower back often takes over. We build technique, awareness, and muscle activation so hips, legs, glutes, and core work together, load is distributed more evenly, and one-sided overload or imbalances decrease. Conscious breathing supports regulation and tension-building.

Embodied means: made real in the body. Knowledge is not only understood, but becomes physically available – and therefore usable in everyday life. At Bodhiflow, that means you notice your typical protective patterns early (holding your breath, bracing too hard, shifting into the lower back, lifting the shoulders) and can switch directly into safe, well-distributed body tension and a calmer body state. That does not only change how you move, it also gives you more mental clarity and emotional stability – in training and in everyday life, especially in the movements that usually trigger insecurity.

This is exactly where my concept comes together: physical, mental, and emotional as one system, not three separate topics.
