About Me
Healing is a journey — one that begins with presence, listening, and care.
I am Ilka Müller-Patham, a holistic therapist, bodyworker, and guide.
My work bridges East and West, combining Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, fascia and energy-based bodywork , and movement therapy with a deep understanding of the human body and its innate wisdom.
At Sunbird Healing, every touch, every breath, and every moment is an invitation to return to ease, trust, and alignment — in body, mind, and soul.
My Path
I was born in Germany and trained across Europe and Asia in therapies that honour both the wisdom of the physical body and the subtle energy within. Over the past decade, I have guided a high number of individuals — from local clients in Goa to international retreat guests — toward greater presence, vitality, and inner harmony.
My approach is precise and intuitive, grounded in knowledge and infused with care. Whether through bodywork, acupuncture, or embodied movement, I support you in rediscovering your body as a place of safety, awareness, and deep intelligence.
Work and Offerings
I offer:
-
Personalized therapies and bodywork for release, regulation, and deep regeneration.
-
Transformative retreats and trainings, combining professional skill with soulful experience.
-
Embodied yoga and movement therapy, to cultivate stability, presence, and flow in everyday life.
Each session, class, or retreat is designed with individual attention, guiding you into a space where healing unfolds naturally.
Why Sunbird Healing
The sunbird has always been a symbol of lightness, resilience, and joy.
It moves with grace — small yet radiant — drawing nectar from the heart of every flower.
For me, the sunbird represents the essence of healing through beauty, curiosity, and connection.
Just as the sunbird seeks light and sustenance, we too can learn to nourish ourselves from life, finding strength and expansion in even the most delicate moments.
Sunbird Healing was born from this inspiration — a place where warmth, care, and transformation meet, and where every person is welcomed exactly as they are.
Here, healing is not a treatment, but a relationship — an ongoing dance of awareness, touch, and trust.
Invitation
I invite you to experience this work —
to slow down, to listen inwardly, and to rediscover the wisdom that already lives within you.
Whether you come for a therapy session, join a training or retreat, or step into a class at Sunbird Shala, you are met with attention, presence, and the wish to see you whole.
“Healing is not something I do to you — it is something we discover together.”
