Good to know

Multisystemic diseases like ME/CFS often affect multiple body systems simultaneously—from the nervous system to the immune and hormonal systems to cellular processes . This explains why the symptoms can be so diverse.

Safety Retreat is for everyone who asks themselves: What is happening in my body – and how can I support it myself ?

Safety Retreat  takes a new path

®

“You feel that it requires not just pacing – but a deeper understanding?”
Learn how stress regulation, energy metabolism, and symptoms are connected in our 7-week program.

The tree model illustrates simplified symptoms in the crown and possible triggers in the roots.

Recent research suggests that chronic complaints may be related to deeper causes - in particular to a persistent cellular danger state (Cell Danger Response) and the autonomic nervous system.

 

Our program integrates the latest findings from neuroregulation and mitochondrial research and opens up new perspectives on complex symptoms.

 

Because if symptoms persist - even though everything has been clarified - a new approach is needed.

What is the SAFE method?

S – Sense of Safety

Better understanding your own body and nervous system can provide safety – the foundation for regeneration.

A – Align Your Day 

With small, practical steps and routines, knowledge can be transferred into everyday life.

F – Recognizing Factors

Many influences, such as stress, diet, or blood sugar, interact. We show how to classify them.

E – Understanding Energy

We explain how cells work, the role of mitochondria, and how this knowledge can be used practically.

Testimonials

"Dr. Metzner not only helped me understand my body but also gave me back my confidence in myself . The knowledge I gained from her not only helps me cope with post-COVID but will stay with me throughout my life. "

What is Safety Retreat’s unique approach?

Our program brings together the most important findings from research, practice, and experience . It is based on models from neurobiology, stress research, and cell physiology. These provide new perspectives on chronic stress conditions—but they are not (yet?) part of current medical guidelines.

Neuroplasticity – the scientifically well-documented ability of the brain to change structurally and functionally through experience, learning and external influences.
Brain

Polyvagal theory – the neuroscientific theory according to Prof. Stephen W. Porges expands the classic understanding of the autonomic nervous system, especially the vagus nerve, and describes how our nervous system responds to safety or threat – with direct relevance to social behavior, trauma, stress regulation, and physical health.

2 hands with heart

Cell Danger Response (CDR) – a model developed by Prof. Dr. Robert Naviaux (Prof. of Genetics, Mitochondrial and Metabolic Disease Center University of California San Diego) current cell and mitochondrial research that opens up new perspectives on chronic diseases and impaired regeneration processes.
