I am a somatic coach and alternative practitioner for psychotherapy and have been working with people for over 15 years. I have always been particularly inspired by utopians. People who want to make the world a better place. People who want to make a difference. From peace education I found my way to the theater, from the theater to bodywork. In life I have encountered relationships that hold, that wobble, that break, that touch, that move and that anchor. And everywhere I have met people who were sometimes overwhelmed, sometimes bored, sometimes hurt, sometimes ashamed, sometimes foaming with rage or exhausted. I'm curious how we can manage to do this, - the being human and at the same time wanting so much-, in a way that we can move, stand up for something and feel everything human without losing ourselves in the process. How we can enter into relationships without giving up on ourselves. Create something together and integrate our own needs, wishes and dreams. This question follows me in my own development as well as in accompanying those utopians who come to me to be supported part of the way. Uniting the sometimes seemingly contradictory sensations, feelings and desires within oneself or even just perceiving and sorting them out is often the first step towards healing and regeneration. I grew up in Berlin, a still divided city, with separated parents and a sister. Later I moved out into the world, lived, studied and worked in Randers (DK), Chemnitz, Odense (DK), New York (USA), Berlin, Karlsruhe and Copenhagen (DK). I love the diversity that comes from experiencing one's own life in different languages. Since 2018 I have been back in Berlin, living with my two children and my wonderful husband and I sometimes miss Danish. In 2017 I wrote a book: "Everyday Presence - A personal description"
