my story
From early childhood on I felt strongly connected with my body, nature and the unseen worlds. I loved being in the woods, channeling poetry and always needed to be in movement - a lot! Very drawn to esotericism (what in its essence means comprehension from within) I knew quite early that body, mind and spirit are deeply intertwined. I intuitively understood already as a child that every physical illness I was experiencing was the effect to a cause in the subtler psychological realm.
After finishing school the only studies seeming appropriate for me was therefore psychology. Trying to understand why humans act how they act and detect our underlying shared dynamics and attributes. And of course trying to understand my own shadows more in depth, like the depression I experienced during this time. To keep the balance between mind and body work I meanwhile explored different movement approaches (among others body building, calisthenics, capoeira, urban dance) and worked several years as a deepWORK instructor and (later) yoga teacher.
With my 23. birthday I had deep insights and suddenly remembered my spiritual nature and passion for occultism again. I started regularly practicing meditation and yoga, discovered my mom's tarot cards and had multiple mystical experiences that fascinated but also scared me. Walking the path of the Institut für Intuitionstraining I allowed myself then more and more to develop and control my psychic abilities and learned how to deal with this hypersensitivity in everyday life.
After finishing university I felt the strong call to explore shamanism (which interestingly already came to me at my birth when I got "randomly" blessed by a Mongolian shaman) and dedicated some time for dance and circus arts. During seven months of traveling Latin-America I learned from Mexican, Guatemalan and Peruvian shamans, medicine men and women and felt a deep sense of coming home but also went into some very dark places of my psyche and human nature in order to find healing. After a summer break in Europe, seven more months in Israel, India, Nepal and Bali went by with dance trainings, living and studying in Tibetan buddhist monasteries and trainings with Kevin Turner at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (Asia).
Throughout the last years I didn't only experience the complementation of psychology and spirituality but also learned a lot about the relationship to myself, others and life in general through yoga, contact improvisation dance (CI) and fire spinning and therefore understood how physical self-awareness is equally crucial for holistic well-being.
