A hand, a poem,
a blossoming meadow,
spaces created
on the brink of words
music whispered
to the waters
of tissues..
A gentle place
where time may slow
for breath, for tears,
for life, for joy.
If touch
is the language
of the skin
my work is to create poetry.
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
A simple touch of a hand awakens a reaction in the body. Cells reacting with chemicals, neurotransmitters flushing through the nervous system, impulses jumping, hormones released. Two people in close contact - two galaxies colliding - and things begin to move...
Yoga is
conscious motion
..it is dance
..a gift of time
so that the body
may experience
the present
YOGA
Over the years I have distilled my knowledge of yoga and dance into three main guidelines - Awareness, Non-Violence and Gentle Consistency.
For me, the great yoga sutras perfectly postulate this in the verse “Sthira Sukham Asanam”, which simply defines the Asana (Yoga posture) as a steady comfortable position...
Green music that touches
the soul...
PHYTOTHERAPY
Plant medicine and herbalism, as we know it today, is a long thread of human correspondence with the green spirits that make life on this earth possible.
I like to imagine plants and fungi to be a form of intelligence. One which we are not yet quite able to grasp. Some call them benevolent spirits or allies, others simply call them food or wood. No matter what, they are with us, in one form or the other...
ABOUT ME
I grew up in close contact with nature. As a child I learned about plants, wild animals, and the cycles of life. I learned about the humility one feels in the presence of an old tree and about the green healing strength of a primeval forest.
From political studies and activism to the world of literature, performative arts and contemporary dance - I have always been interested in the complexity of human experience.
My progression to body work and yoga evolved gradually through my work as a dancer and performative artist - both forms of delicate communication. In time I was more and more drawn into a more intimate sphere of tactile exchange - massage.
The dance, the yoga, the art of touch along with my love and lifelong connection to nature all guided me on the path of herbalism and other healing traditions. I came to Berlin to study Natural medicine and successfully became a naturopath/heilpraktiker - a practitioner of Natural medicine.
