About me
Even as a child, I loved being creative and enjoyed using my hands to actively create things, following my inner impulses intuitively without thinking too much about them, and allowing myself to be surprised by what emerged.
During my studies, I was particularly interested in people – how they live and how they connect with one another. At the same time, I took my first Shiatsu classes and was fascinated by them. Afterwards, I felt so light and almost as if I were floating – it was like walking on clouds.
After graduating, I wanted to see the world and make a contribution. This took me to West Africa, where I worked in development cooperation. I realized that it is unfortunately not so easy to “help” in a foreign country and became quite disillusioned. At the same time, I had a strong desire to find a place to call home, put down roots, start a family and arrive somewhere.
So I returned to Berlin. There, I became aware that after a day in the office I felt stressed and tense, whereas after giving a Shiatsu treatment I felt relaxed and rejuvenated. Eventually, I took the plunge: I quit my office job, left my academic studies behind and became self-employed as a Shiatsu practitioner.
I am very happy with this decision and know that I have found my place. Working with the many different people who come to me is deeply fulfilling and enriching, and I am very grateful for that. Today, I do development cooperation “face to face” and am continually amazed by how people blossom and unfold when we follow the body’s inner impulses together.
Sometimes it feels just like it did when I was a child – when a treatment becomes a creative journey and, at the end, we can feel, see and appreciate the result and the transformation that has taken place.
One of the focuses of my work is Shiatsu with pregnant women. In 2016 and 2018, I experienced the wonder of birth myself and have been a proud and incredibly devoted mother of two wonderful children ever since.
