Public Code of Ethics — Astrid Hübner

For NTB Breathwork, Dearmouring, Sacred Intimacy, Lomi Lomi Bodywork, Energy Work & Coaching

I work with NTB Breathwork, Embodied Sexuality, Dearmouring, Lomi Lomi Bodywork, Coaching and energetic/therapeutic/somatic tools. My work is rooted in trauma-awareness, clear consent, and personal accountability. I publish this Code publicly because transparency protects clients, partners, and the integrity of the work.

1. Integrity & Authenticity

  • I commit to honesty, transparency, and authenticity in all professional interactions.

  • I acknowledge my human limitations and do not claim false authority or mastery.

  • I actively refine my embodiment, emotional maturity, and nervous system regulation to hold safe spaces.

  • I commit to empowerment-centered practice, focused on the client’s strength, sovereignty, and capacity for growth.

2. Consent & Boundaries

  • Consent is active, explicit, and ongoing; it can be withdrawn at any time without justification.

  • Clients are never pressured into any practice, touch, or experience.

  • No touch occurs without prior agreement, including clothing and nudity choices.

  • All intimate or genital touch requires prior discussion and consent via a Special Consent Addendum.

  • Dearmouring sessions: I remain fully clothed unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing.

  • Tantric Bodywork sessions: Clothing consists of underwear, pareo/sarong.

3. Safety & Trauma Awareness

  • I create an environment where clients feel safe to explore, release, and heal.

  • I recognize that trauma may surface and commit to responding with compassion, presence, and appropriate tools.

  • I maintain clear session structures, boundaries, and aftercare guidance for integration.

  • I screen for conditions requiring clinical or medical oversight (psychosis, suicidal crisis, acute illness) and refer out when necessary.

4. Sexual & Relational Boundaries

  • I do not engage sexually with clients during sessions.

  • I do not seek or initiate romantic or sexual relationships with clients.

  • To protect both client and practitioner, I will not enter into sexual or romantic relationships with a client for at least 12 months after the professional relationship ends (aligned with sexological bodywork standards).

5. Confidentiality & Data Protection

  • All sessions are confidential.

  • Notes or sensitive data (health/sexual history) are stored securely and only with explicit consent.

  • I comply with Swiss data protection law (FADP) and GDPR principles: explicit, recorded consent is required for processing personal/health/sexual data.

  • No images, stories, or identifying details are shared without written consent.

6. Non-Discrimination

  • I welcome all clients, regardless of sexual orientation, culture, spiritual background, or relationship style.

  • I commit to equality, inclusion, and respect at all times.

7. Professional Responsibility

  • I commit to continuous learning, embodiment, and supervision to ensure integrity in my practice.

  • I seek guidance, peer support, or professional referral when necessary.

  • I remain accountable for my actions, words, and energy in all sessions.

8. Grievance & Accountability

  • Complaints and concerns are taken seriously.

  • I maintain an independent route for grievances and a documented supervision/mediation process.
