Many people long for inner calm, stability, and the ability to remain clear and capable even in challenging situations. Yet although relaxation techniques, movement, and mindfulness are widely practiced today, lasting and sustainable balance often fails to take hold.
One key reason lies in where regulation begins. In many cases, action is taken only once stress, tension, restlessness, or exhaustion have already become physically or emotionally noticeable. The underlying processes from which these states arise usually remain unaddressed.
Subtle Body Balance Coaching follows a preventive approach.
It enables people to consciously perceive and deliberately influence inner states before physical or emotional strain develops.
The new approach at a glance
- Stress and tension arise first in the subtle body – before physical reactions occur
- Subtle Body Balance Coaching addresses this level directly: preventive rather than compensatory
- Scientifically measurable through heart rate variability (HRV) analysis
- People develop self-efficacy with remarkable immediacy
The Core Concept
What is the Subtle Body?
The subtle body is a substantial layer that surrounds and permeates the physical body. It was well known in many ancient cultures, yet remains largely unexplored today. Its condition determines our inner experience – whether we feel calm or overwhelmed, clear or foggy, alive or exhausted.
Scientifically Validated
Seeing What You Feel: HRV Measurements
Heart rate variability (HRV) measures the natural variation between heartbeats and is a direct indicator of autonomic nervous system activity.
Dr. Alfred Lohninger, one of the leading HRV experts in the German-speaking world, has scientifically examined the effects of Subtle Body Balance.
What the Measurements Show
- Even the exercises used in Subtle Body Balance alone immediately activate the vagus nerve.
- The organism experiences deeper regeneration than during deep sleep
- Within a short time, the body enters a state of relaxation, regeneration, and inner coherence
- Many clients report greater calm, clarity, restorative sleep, and renewed energy
- Immediate and sustained reduction of stress levels
- Objective validation of subjective experience

My conclusion: people are searching for mindfulness, resilience, joy in life, healing of body and soul, and personal development. With the Goethert Method, these elements come together – gently, respectfully, and in the present moment – making it possible to resolve things that once seemed unsolvable or were accepted as the way life feels. For me, it has become more than a method; it has become a way of living.

I can highly recommend this training. It is the key to a self-determined and fulfilling life – even when external circumstances are challenging.
Dagmar Lüttgau
SBB-Practitioner, SBB-Coach
The Subtle Body Balance Coach training was an exceptionally enriching experience.
It opened up a deep understanding of subtle-body dynamics and made it tangible how strongly these influence life and how we relate to one another. Particularly striking was how a shift in one’s inner attitude affects well-being and presence – not only for oneself, but perceptibly for everyone in the room.
When Conventional Methods Reach Their Limits
The Goethert Method, developed by Ronald Goethert, is the result of more than 30 years of research and practical work. Through HRV measurements, the effectiveness of this method on health and inner well-being has been scientifically demonstrated.It offers a fundamentally new perspective on working with people and promotes a lifestyle that brings body and mind into harmony – for a healthy inner life.
Many people today seek inner stability, orientation, and genuine relief – especially when conventional approaches no longer suffice. This is exactly where Subtle Body Balance Coaching begins.
How Does the Method Work?
Subtle Body Balance Coaching goes deeper than conversation alone. Through direct inner experience, self-empowerment is fostered and lasting change becomes possible.
What Makes This Method Unique?
The method does not focus on problems, but on what seeks to come alive again within a person. It is not about analyzing symptoms, but about strengthening access to oneself and one’s inner strength.
Many participants describe it this way: “For me, it is more than a method – it has become a way of life.” The training changes not only how you work – it changes you as a person.

Kerstin Erdbürger
Licensed Practitioner of Psychotherapy, Holistic Therapy & Coaching
With gratitude and a broad, forward-looking perspective, my personal and professional journey now continues. A sense of inner richness and stability in relating to people has become tangible. After more than 20 years of practical work and a wide range of methods, it is now allowed to become ‘unspectacular’ in accompanying people.The subtle dimension – whether in coaching or treatment (Subtle Body Balance) – finally gives me the feeling that everything is complete, and the search for a way to support people deeply, to help them unfold in a natural way, has come to an end. What remains is curiosity, interest in the further development of the method, and the willingness to continue discovering new things.

| What is the scientific basis of Subtle Body Balance? |
| The method has been scientifically accompanied and studied using heart rate variability (HRV) measurements. |
| What is the vagus nerve? |
| The vagus nerve is the largest and most important nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system and is involved in regulating the activity of nearly all internal organs. It connects the brain with key organs – especially the heart, lungs, and digestive system – acting as an internal regulatory pathway. The vagus nerve governs rest, regeneration, and self-healing processes and helps regulate and calm stress responses. HRV measurement makes vagal activity visible. |
| What is the autonomic nervous system? |
| The autonomic (vegetative) nervous system unconsciously regulates all vital bodily functions such as heart rate, breathing, digestion, and glandular activity. It consists of the sympathetic nervous system (activation/performance) and the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/regeneration), maintaining balance between exertion and recovery. |
| Is this energy work? |
| No. Although the term subtle body may initially seem unfamiliar, it refers to a perceptible, substantive reality that has been scientifically validated through HRV measurements. The method connects subjective experience with objective measurement. |
| What distinguishes this method from others? |
| The method offers an independent coaching approach in which the subtle dimension of the human being becomes the central point of reference. At the center of the method is the subtle body – largely unaddressed in other methods, yet decisive in how people experience themselves, their inner stability, and their capacity to act. What makes the method unique is the deliberate inclusion of the subtle body. It is based exclusively on over 30 years of research and practical experience by Ronald Goethert. |
