Guided by the truth of your heart and the wisdom of your body, I’ll support you creating a self-determined, authentic, and soul-aligned life in motion.
My Journey
Over 14 years ago my own (initially reluctant) journey into personal development began when a severe depression forced me to take an honest look at my life and critically question my worldview. Everything I believed about success, my values, relationships - simply every aspect of life - was turned upside down. And I realized...I was living someone else’s life. This sparked my search for answers and ignited my passion for psychology. I discovered dance therapy (a somatic-based psychotherapeutic approach)—or rather, it found me. As a lifelong dancer and movement lover I’ve always been fascinated by how motion influences our emotional well-being. What helped me back then to overcome my own battle
I now share as a dance therapist and holistic life coach with you.
Five years ago, I traded the urban jungle of Berlin for the tropical rainforest of Latin America, and I’ve been living with my two children on the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica ever since. Just a few years ago, such a tremendous shift in life seemed impossible to me—I didn’t believe in my courage or my ability to make my dreams come true. It felt like something others might do, but out of reach for me. Today, I can tell you—everything is possible! For you, for me and for all of us.
We are always just one step away from a life-changing transformation!
Dance is nothing else than a metaphor for life. And our body, as the vessel of our human experience here on this planet - the connection between earth and sky - plays a key role in our healing journey. My deepest mission is to guide you back ‘home’ — into this body, to dance yourself alive - here and now, with every fiber of your being.
I’m here to remind you who you truly are and that there’s so much more waiting for you.
“Dance has truly showed up for me in moments, where I needed it the most…‘ I can drop down into the present moment welcoming all the emotions that arise - a safe and judgment free place were we can really reconnect with ourselves.”
