Yoga and meditation

My story back to the body started in 2009, I had a corporate job and my housemate took me to the first yoga class of my life. She swore yoga would be good for me. Wise woman!

As a result, I began practicing Sivananda yoga and – since at the time I was living in Laos I started exploring the Buddhist meditation. It became natural to integrate yoga and meditation in my daily life. I often surprised myself practicing yoga under our banana tree at 6am! I was progressively realizing how important it is to cultivate body awareness through life.

3 years later, I quit my corporate job in order to deepen my yoga practice. I spent 6 months in an ashram in Germany and the following years between India, Bali and Malaysia, studying and practicing.

Reiki

On top of yoga, I am certified Level 1 and 2 Reiki Practitioner, I got my Level 1 in Laos in 2009 and Level 2 in India in 2013.

Massages

I always had a passion for soothing with touch and in India I did my first Ayurvedic massage course. The adventure of touching bodies begun!

Somatic Coaching

Since 2016 study and work with the Grinberg Method – a somatic approach which teaches body attention and the art of becoming oneself, achieve well-being and health learning to pay attention at the body.

Pranic Healing

Since 2019 I learn to clear my energy body from what I wasn’t able to clear working mostly on the physical body. I work with clients to clear their energetic blocks that prevent them from living their best life.

What was I doing before?

I lived in 8 different countries working as researcher for the European Commission, for the development cooperation in Laos and for an American multinational. After quitting my career I decided to put at the centre of my life what my heart wanted.
