Clinical Focus & Approach

She combines different approaches to address the whole person in their emotional, cognitive, social interactions and physical conditions. Her aim is to create the space where her clients heal themselves and find a healthy balance, a sense of wholeness. I grew up on a farm in Austria with seven siblings. Being part of a big family and working on the farm colored my life. Since my childhood, I have felt a deep connection with organic movements in Nature. I have always loved exploring it as part of the physical and nonphysical body, and how it influences the mind. I experience the ease and order of all being and the beauty within. Like the wind sweeping over the grass, a stone dropping in water … finding the active and passive movement in Nature, in all Relationships between living beings. At the age of 19 I joined the convent of Don Bosco in search of a deeper meaning of life and profoundness of being.

During that time I worked as a social educator with children and adults in the field of education and performing arts. When I got in touch with the Rosalia Chladek® dance technique I was ushered into an exciting world of movement. After 14 years, I left the convent and moved to New York. I studied various Dance Techniques, Somatic Movement, Anatomy, Pilates and Gyrotonic/kinesis®. I expanded my knowledge through therapeutic trainings: Shiatsu, Cranio Sacral, Pranic Healing and Matrix Transformation, various healing techniques. I also deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection through the Systemic Constellation Work training and by becoming a Life Coach. Throughout my life I have searched for a deeper understanding of existence and purpose. I feel it is my calling to share and to touch lives through my knowledge, wisdom and artistic work and simply by seeing, listening and being.
