A knowledgeable hand is powerful
I am a co-founder of Movement LAB, a certified Rolfer®, and a somanaut.
My journey began with a shoulder injury that changed the course of my life.
From an early age, I was passionate about physical movement. I immersed myself in sports like rowing, parkour, and frisbee. But during my teenage years, I developed a serious shoulder issue, based upon a previous wrist injury, that halted my plans to pursue a degree in physical education. Surgery was recommended—but I chose a different path: one of rehabilitation, self-inquiry, and movement exploration. By learning to understand and navigate my limitations, I was able to transform my relationship with my body and reclaim my vitality.
Along the way, I discovered Rolfing—a turning point not only in my healing, but in shaping my purpose. The experience inspired me to become a certified Rolfer®, completing my training in Munich in 2020. Since then, my curiosity and commitment to learning have only deepened.
Rolfing shifted my entire understanding of the human body. I began to see pain not as an isolated event, but as a reflection of interconnected systems—structure, movement, sensation, and emotion all woven together.
Driven by this insight, I continued my education. I trained in Fascia Manipulation with the Stecco family, they had a huge influence in my way of approaching manual therapy. Beside that I studied how to work with organs, bones, joints, and scar tissue. I am currently on the path to becoming a certified teacher of ScarWork and BoneWork from Sharon Wheeler (a direct student of Ida Rolf).
Also in 2020, I co-founded Movement LAB—a platform that offers courses, workshops, events, and classes dedicated to exploring the deep connection between body, mind, and spirit.
My movement practice is rooted in a diverse range of influences, including contact improvisation, Fighting Monkey®, Tai Ji Quan, and Qi Gong. These practices help me stay grounded in curiosity, presence, and embodied expression.
