Vanessa Bachmann is a Reiki Master Teacher, yoga teacher, meditation teacher, and naturopath for psychotherapy based in Canggu, Bali. Through Playgroundsoul, she works with people who want to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build a more loving relationship with their inner world.
Her work centers on Reiki, with sessions, trainings, and retreats designed to support healing across body, mind, and emotions. She also brings yoga, mindfulness, and coaching into her practice, creating a steady, personal space where people can listen more deeply to themselves.
Vanessa’s path grew out of her own shift away from a conventional career in Germany toward a more holistic life. That lived experience gives her work a grounded quality, especially for people moving through stress, change, grief, or a desire for deeper self-understanding.
