passionate body therapist...
my career
yoga and shiatsu have shaped my life for two decades. initially out of curiosity, now as a profession with great dedication. so, parallel to my training as a shiatsu therapist, i completed yoga teacher training.
it is no coincidence that mbsr, positive psychology, and focusing followed as further paths for me. i experience them as fitting pieces of the puzzle that make my existence as a human being and therapist more complete and correspond to my attitudes and values.
​
my philosophy
being on a journey together, meeting on equal terms. creating a safe space, providing authentic, mindful, and non-judgmental guidance and support. identifying what needs attention and being there when things get challenging. discovering and exploring the physical experience together. encountering pain, cultivating nourishment, creating connection and acceptance, with not knowing as part of it.
accompanying people on their journey means a lot to me and fills me with gratitude and humility, because i am always learning new things from them.
​
personal
i was born on june 6, 1972, in zurich. i started my professional life with a commercial apprenticeship in the hotel and tourism industry. i currently also work part-time as a project manager for digitization.
