My childhood dream was to become a ballet dancer. The elegance, posture and ease in which the human body can move ignited my curiosity and passion to study it. Being born and raised in a small town northeast of Switzerland, my access and exposure to dance was limited. Therefore, I took a huge leap of faith, packed my bags and moved to New York to satisfy my insatiable appetite to learn. That path lead me to study the Gyrotonic Expansion System® Method, a unique, holistic approach to movement created by Julio Horvath, a ballet dancer with a love for movement much like myself. The more I studied the Gyrotonic Expansion System® in addition to Anatomy, the more I was utterly fascinated and in awe of the human body’s ability to heal itself and was then inspired to utilize my expertise in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Shiatsu and Craniosacral Therapy to assist in this process. At the about same time, I was introduced to the yoga of awareness and awakening—Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. The revived sense of energy I experienced in my Kundalini practice helped me discover my true potential and since then, these teachings have become a way of life for me. Now, with over nine years of bodywork experience and on my way to becoming a certified Level 2 Kundalini Yoga teacher, I’m eager to share my knowledge to heal, rejuvenate, uplift and make a positive impact on you.

Today, I continue to hone my skills in the healing arts. I am a certified Clinical Massage Therapist (CMTC Certified), specialized in Deep Tissue Massage, CranioSacral Therapy and Shiatsu. I studied under Shinzo Fujimaki, one of the most respected and sought-after Shiatsu masters in the world, at Harbin School of Healing Arts and received my certification at the McKinnon Body Therapy Center, where i have assisted in Teaching the 125 hour CranioSacral Therapy Program and currently teach the 64 hour Shiatsu Program. I operate with a gentle yet firm approach to my healing work, and i will often guide you through a meditation session during your massage that will help you connect with your breath.

When I was introduced to the yoga of awareness and awakening— Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan (the teacher who introduced Kundalini Yoga to the United States), it changed me. The revived sense of energy I experienced in my Kundalini practice helped me discover my true potential and since then, these teachings have become a way of life for me. I traveled to India to study with students of Yogi Bjahan--Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa and Gurushabd Singh Khalsa. I believe these ancient practices are essential tools for living and helps us train our minds to be the source of peace and stability that keeps us grounded and connected to the life force around us. In my nine years of practice of Kudalini Yoga, I have experienced profound improvements in my mood and outlook on life. Charged with a sense of purpose, I’m excited to share these teachings with all of you.
