Ever since my earliest childhood I have been passionate about everything that has to do with movement. I originally started out doing sports, but at the age of 12 I started ballet training and later went on to do jazz dance as well. After graduating from high school I followed dance training with the Ernst Busch Schauspielschule (school for the performing arts) in Berlin and completed my diploma in 1992 in stage dance and dance pedagogic. Ever since then I have been working as dancer in various companies in the USA and Europe.
During my 3-year stay in the USA I consecrated a considerable amount of time to the exploration of Eastern body techniques and among other things studied to become a Yoga Teacher Assistant at the Jivamukti Yoga Centre in New York. In addition to these physical activities, I yearned for more profound relaxation to allow myself to tap into new energies. I tried out different styles of therapy and massage, of which Shiatsu therapy exerted the greatest attraction on me. The combination of a simultaneously passive and active body workout interested me and increasingly made sense to me. Gradually a second career path started to present itself, one in which I could profit greatly from my wide range of experiences and passionate approach to movement.
From these experiences in the teaching of sometimes very mixed groups, I started to become interested in facilitating well-constructed personal training. This started taking shape in the form of wanting to focus all my attention on a single person, to accompany him/her for a while on his/her path of body exploration, to compile a training programme and back it up specifically, to work towards finding solutions when confronted with pain or discomfort, in short: to transmit and stimulate the joy of movement and body awareness!
