I was born and raised in Germany and chose Mexico as my home in 2001 after successfully pursuing a career in the fashion industry for more than 11 years while working and living in Germany, Poland, and Italy. After contemplating the next step in my life’s path, I made the decision to fundamentally change my way of life. Mexico, with its much slower rhythm, its wide-open spaces, its natural beauty, and its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, became the perfect setting for my transformation.
Realizing that I had “The Touch,” I enthusiastically chose to follow this calling and to make it my new profession. In 2004, after graduating from a private massage school in Puerto Vallarta I started working as a self-employed massage therapist.
In 2007 I graduated from the Guild for Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado, as a Certified Practitioner. For the past 11 years, this form of manual therapy has been the main focus of my practice at my studio in Sayulita, Mexico. Through a steady practice and an ongoing process of continuing education, I constantly deepen my understanding of the human body. In addition to manual therapy, I use visual assessment, movement education, and exercise prescription to provide a truly integrated approach to client care with lasting results.
I am very sensitive to the fact that every person has his or her own comfort range concerning the amount of pressure applied during bodywork. I actually consider it an art to have the awareness and sensitivity to do profound bodywork while recognizing and respecting every person’s boundaries. Recently, I coined the term “Friendly Rolfing” to change people’s preconceived ideas about this form of bodywork.
My general approach to healing is based on the fact that any illness is always an imbalance of the mental, emotional and physical aspects of our being. Any physical symptom is but a pointer to deeper underlying disharmony. I am deeply interested in all aspects of human existence, the intricate connections within ourselves, the meaning of our life paths, our conditions and circumstances we were born into which all provide the general frame for learning, experiencing, accepting, transforming and loving. I am a practical, well grounded and optimistic person who enjoys helping other people to heal and gain a deeper understanding of whatever the problem/project might be right now in their lives.
