about Johanna Maghsoudi

No. 1 couple therapist in Northern Germany based in Lübeck,

Experienced alternative practitioner for healthy relationships

My motto:

In every crisis lies an opportunity

First and foremost, I stand for healthy relationships and when it comes to true love and both partners are willing to work on themselves, then I am convinced that a relationship crisis can be healed. However, it would be wrong to claim that every relationship can actually be saved. It is only fair and honest to mention that some people go their separate ways. I have been through a very painful separation myself and know exactly what married life should not be like.

As the saying goes, "Women suffer in marriage and men suffer afterwards!" That's exactly how I felt and when I decided to separate, I quickly met my current partner, with whom I now lead exactly the life with family, child and house that I always wanted.

And as he would say, "Let's be honest: a relationship is always work." So let's not kid ourselves, conflicts occur in every happy relationship, but it is crucial how we deal with them and how we work on our behavior, develop ourselves and thus pave the way for more connection, trust, appreciation and true love. That is something I am now very good at. I am very empathetic, sensitive and analytical and discover the real causes of discrepancies very quickly. Therefore, the aim of my work is to help you achieve happiness in your relationship with precisely this expertise.

This is me privately

In my private life, I am the mother of a wonderful daughter and since separating from my ex-husband I have been in a healthy and happy relationship again. It was only much later that I was able to fully understand the mistakes I made in the marriage. For example, I couldn't stand the tension between us and so I kept approaching him because I believed that communication was important and that I wouldn't lose anything by taking the first step towards him. Today I understand that with all my desperate attempts to save the marriage, I actually pushed him away.

It is important to understand what is happening subconsciously: I threw the prey to the lion who enjoys hunting and playing, and thus spoiled the game. A really good relationship only works if you as a woman know the right strategy to remain appealing and attractive instead of behaving "sensibly and maturely" and unfortunately achieving the opposite of what you want.

Today I behave completely differently. I have learned to endure arguments, to maintain my self-esteem and not to chase after my man in a desire for harmony in order to resolve the conflict as quickly as possible at any cost. I have stopped trying to please him in every way and to roll out the red carpet. Instead, I set clear boundaries. There is a reason why they say: "Make yourself scarce and you'll be the star!" or "If you want to be respected, show yourself rarely!".

I can truly say that I am a relationship expert because I behave completely differently in my new relationship and therefore get what I want from my partner. Ultimately, I have become much more self-confident and happier.

I have learned from my mistakes and know what it means to break free from an unhappy marriage and stand up for yourself. With all the consequences that a separation entails. I want to spare you that. I will give you the shortcut, because if you know and use the right strategy for a happy, healthy relationship, you will see that your partnership will change for the better.

On Mondays I teach my yoga classes at 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. As soon as the weather gets better, they take place on my own yoga terrace in the garden. In addition to the practice space in my own house, this is actually a lifelong dream that has come true for me, as it allows me to teach yoga in harmony with nature (sunset yoga, etc.).
