My story
A Colourful Vision…
I move through life with a deep belief in healing, connection, (our) nature, acceptance, kindness, empowerment, playfulness/joy, infinite possibilities.
From this point I collaborate in various art projects, give my feelings and thoughts about life a voice, express societal issues, philosophical, psychological or spiritual questions. Therefore I use my tools of dance, singing, writing and filmmaking.
I help my students, patients and clients to express themselves through and find more wholeness within their bodies – if it’s a dance class, a dance therapy workshop, coaching, or a massage.
Together we create – a world where there is space for dreams, visions, feelings, passions and all the colourful shapes of life.
