Rooted in the discipline of classical ballet and shaped by a lifelong inquiry into the nature of the bodymind system, her professional path spans the performing arts, somatic science and embodied practice.

She began her training in classical ballet with the Royal Academy of Dance in London and later expanded into contemporary dance and choreography at the Zurich School of Dance Theatre (Z.T.T.S.).

Over time, her work evolved beyond performance and choreography toward a deeper understanding of movement as a pathway to transformation. This led her to study Somatic Movement Education (Ideokinesis).

​

Early in her career whilst working as teacher of Ideokinesis, she began using the medium of touch to accelerate somatic awareness in embodiment practise and movement-based research. In parallel, through a collaboration with the Upledger Institute in Switzerland, she discovered Craniosacral Therapy where she later trained formally as a therapist. CST has influenced the development of her approach to the nervous system and bodymind health substantially, highlighting our innate ability to self-regulate when given suitably tailored, tactile support.
​

Her professional education also includes human biology and movement science. She has studied embryology and morphology with Dr. Jaap van der Waal and anatomy and movement science with Erik Franklin, Thomas Myers and Robert Schleipp This multidisciplinary foundation informs an approach rooted in the body’s inherent organization, developmental intelligence and capacity for adaptation and integration.

​

Complementing this foundation and following decades of intensive personal yoga practice, she expanded her teaching to address the needs of yoga teachers. In the role of teacher-trainer as well as integrative breath coach, she has collaborated with numerous yoga institutions and academies offering retreats, training intensives and experiential anatomy education for yoga schools.

Over more than twenty years of study and practice in somatic disciplines with teachers such as Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen (Body Mind Centering) and Emilie Conrad and Robin Becker (Continuum Movement) she has developed a transformative approach to working with movement, breath and self-expression through advanced somatic awareness.

Guided by an additional interest in the human psyche and its relationship with bodymind practices she has immersed herself in psychological and contemplative traditions. Her studies include Jungian psychology at the C.G. Jung Institute in Switzerland, somatic meditation in the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition with Dr. Reginald Ray, self inquiry meditation inspired by Ramana Maharshi with Dr. Bagwan Awatramani and studies in mysticism and Sufi meditation with Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan.

​

She is currently pursuing a Master of Arts (MA) in Expressive Arts with a minor in Psychology at the European Graduate School (EGS) in Switzerland, where interdisciplinary arts practice and embodied enquiry meet on a new level of holistic application, contributing powerful and progressive perspectives to health, personal development and the future of art in an age of radical technological transformation.

​

As co-founder of the Humane Leadership Academy, she is an advocate for the advancement of Human Intelligence in today’s rapidly changing work environment. This collaboration with the corporate and communications sectors, explores the bodymind connection as an essential leadership resource—developing presence, embodied awareness, intuition and empathy, while providing practical approaches for navigating stress, communication and challenging situations with greater awareness.
