Pose of the crane:
A symbol for success
“I found out how I could regulate my physical condition through relaxation.”
I was a very playful, creative and highly active girl with multicultural parents. I grew up speaking many languages and with my Congolese and German relatives in Vienna. These diverse influences shaped me early on to pay attention to the emotional expression of people.
A minor accident (fall) made me realize that “I” and my body are not one, but also that it protects me and that I can trust it. As a result, I started to ask my body for answers when I had a supposedly “only” physical problem such as headaches and allergic asthma. I found out how I could regulate my physical condition through relaxation. This gave me a lot of self-confidence, but with this knowledge came further major healing tasks ...
After graduating from high school, I thought I could combine my creative nature with business aspects in advertising, but this proved to be a mistake in a moment of awakening.
I started to Vienna to study
psychology and at the same time immersed myself in Zen, Buddhism
and depth psychology. Infatuation led me to a dance studio. There I remembered my love of dancing and rediscovered my physical talent. I danced emotionally, searched for inner images and discovered the healing power of dance. I studied movement theory just as intensively and had myself coached. In particular, I recognized and lived breath as a source of movement.

Many trips to ecovillages and spiritual communities took me to Cameroon, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and New Zealand. A life close to nature, plants, alternative medicine and an intensified connection to yoga shaped the years that followed my dance training. These influences still shape my work today.
Wounds can
create miracles.
Break-ups and separations in my life meant that I once again had to let go of my life goals. It was very painful to integrate these facts, but they forged my soul - as Viktor Frankl said: “What is to give light must endure burning”.
