About me

As a child growing up in Apartheid South Africa, I questioned the status quo. Why do we judge based on differences in skin tone, hair curl, or body shape? What drives us to segregate? Conversely, what enables us to reach out, open our hearts, and truly listen?

My quest for answers finally led me to pursue a BSc in psychology. Yet it took me another seven years of travel, teaching, and moving between the UK and Argentina, to find my calling in somatic work, upon arriving in Berlin. Since 2013, I’ve been honing my skills as a practitioner, inching a little closer to understanding our shared humanity.

When we manage to see beyond our immediate differences, recognising each person’s unique perspective, vision, life experiences, challenges, wishes, and dreams, we connect from a more humane place—a place that unites us and allows us to heal.
This is my vision that guides the work that I do.

When I’m not immersed in yôga practice, client interactions, or teaching, you’ll find me playing with my adorable Schnoodle puppy, Kiwi. I love chilling with friends, and taking time to leave the city hustle for adventures in the mountains.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
Somatic coachingRecommended for those who want to use body awareness and movement to release emotional tension and promote personal growth.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
As an integrative somatic practitioner of the Pantarei Approach, I am most inspired by the possibility of accompanying you on your unique journey; connecting you, through a combination of physical touch and verbal exchange, to your values, qualities, and resources. My approach is one of openness and curiosity, with a desire to learn and adapt my skills according to your needs.
