Practice:
In my classes and private practise I work with a variety of people with different backgrounds. Some people are looking to move more comfortably in daily life, others have a special interest in yoga, dance, sports, drama or music.
 
A lot of people I see have movement restrictions and/or are in pain. But I also work with children, with children with disabilities and with people with various neurological conditions.
 
Biography:
Working as a kindergarten teacher in Switzerland and through my own personal process, I became aware of how important movement is in human development and learning. After various experiences in dance, Medau Rhythmics, Eutonie and yoga, I came into contact with the Feldenkrais Method and was fascinated by its unique combination of movement, psychology and learning. I decided to enrol in a professional Feldenkrais training and completed my training with Ruthy Alon in Florence in 1997.
 
Moving to England in 1996, I began to build up my Feldenkrais practice alongside starting a family.
 
To deepen my understanding of the Method, but also because I believe in supervision for teaching professions, I participated in a three-year Mentoring training with Larry Goldfarb in Amsterdam, finishing in 2006.
