About Gérard Lach
Hi to you all, my name is Gérard (he / him), 47 years and I’m currently living in Berlin, Germany.
I’m a solo-entrepreneur, meanwhile specialized in hospice and palliative care and since 5 years I work on the threshold between life and death in the inpatient Vivantes hospice in Berlin Tempelhof, accompanying living and dying humans.
Instruments & Methods
Therefore I use methods and techniques from yoga, meditation, massage and provide alternative treatments with sacred sound healing instruments i.e. meditation gongs, singing bowls, monochord, Indian harmonium as well as breathing techniques and the human voice as the most precious and special sound creating instrument.
Hospice- and Palliative Care Work
Palliative care is the international term for the holistic concept of comprehensive and palliative care for people suffering from an incurable, progressive and terminal illness. In German, it is often referred to as palliative care.
Set & Settings
Welcome to a space where sound becomes a companion in the journey of letting go. I offer mindful sound sessions designed to support end-of-life care with presence, compassion, and deep listening. Here, set and setting are curated with intention — to hold, to soothe, and to honor the final phase of life.
