Relationship Counseling for Ethical
Non-Monogamy & Polyamory
Relationships shape the quality of our lives — yet most of us were never taught how to consciously design them.
In his counseling practice, Reinhard supports individuals and partners in developing relational intelligence: the ability to understand emotional dynamics, communicate clearly, navigate attachment patterns, and create conscious agreements.
A special focus lies on ethical non-monogamy and polyamory. Whether you are opening a relationship, redefining boundaries, navigating jealousy, or seeking greater emotional maturity, sessions provide a structured and grounded space for clarity, reflection, and growth.
The work combines psychological depth with practical tools and awareness of bodily and emotional patterns. Clients learn to recognize triggers, regulate conflict, articulate needs, and build relationships that are both stable and deeply alive.
Counseling is available for individuals, couples, and relationship constellations.

Book Reinhard Gaida as a Keynote Speaker
Invite Reinhard Gaida to deliver transformative keynotes on relational intelligence, ethical non-monogamy, conscious relationships, and the future of intimacy. His talks combine deep expertise, practical insights, and engaging storytelling to inspire and challenge audiences at conferences, retreats, and professional events worldwide.
The Art of Opening: Conscious Approaches to Polyamory and Non-Monogamy
This keynote explores mindful and intentional ways to open relationships, emphasizing clarity, communication, and emotional awareness. Participants gain practical tools to navigate agreements, boundaries, and desires while fostering conscious, ethical, and deeply connected relationships.
Polyamory & Conditional Consent: Navigating Trauma and Relational Limits
This talk explores how past experiences, trauma, and life changes can shape our ability to give full consent in polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships. Participants learn to recognize relational limits, navigate consent with awareness, and cultivate ethically grounded, emotionally mature connections.
The Future of Intimacy: Evolving Relationship Cultures and Ethical Non-Monogamy
This keynote explores emerging trends in love, intimacy, and relationship cultures. Participants will reflect on how conscious non-monogamy, relational intelligence, and evolving social norms are shaping the future of human connection, emotional depth, and ethical relationship practices.
Creating Sexpositive Spaces
This talk explores how to design environments that are truly sex-positive, inclusive, and supportive, drawing on the experience of Schwelle Vienna, the Festival, and the Conference. Participants learn how structural challenges, personal boundaries, and past trauma can impact participation, and gain strategies to foster safe, respectful, and empowering spaces for all.
INHALE – Breathwork
Inhale is a guided Breathwork practice designed to support emotional regulation, nervous system balance, and deeper self-awareness.
Breathing is one of the most direct ways to access the body’s stored stress patterns, suppressed emotions, and unconscious dynamics. Through conscious and structured breathing techniques, participants experience release, insight, and renewed vitality.
With over 20 years of experience in Breathwork, Hypnosis, and embodiment-based methods, Reinhard facilitates sessions that are grounded, safe, and psychologically informed.
This is not performance-driven breathing. It is a guided process of awareness, integration, and embodied clarity.
