Out of sheer curiosity, I tried a one-on-one dance therapy session shortly after giving birth to my second son. At that time in my life, I felt tired, exhausted and absorbed by the needs of my small kids. I was in full-on function-mode of being a mom.
During my first dance therapy session, as I started to feel myself again, I was overcome with emotions and started tearing up. I found a way to connect with myself again and could sense and follow my own movement impulses. It was a very freeing experience and I *fell in love* with this form of therapy where I could literally let my body speak.
In 2014 I successfully completed my training as a dance therapist and I am now, more than ever, thrilled to guide and accompany people of all ages on their individual journey of discovering their own body history.
PRIVATE THERAPY
Dance therapy is an integrative psychotherapy which allows the body to speak up and express itself. Through movement: deeper expression of feelings, ideas, ambitions, desires and relationships can be actualized.
when you long for a protecting space
when you feel that talking is not enough
when you wish to find your inner balance
when the soul is crying out to be heard
when the body shows symptoms that want to be understood
when you desire to feel yourself again
when you need to redefine your personal standpoint
when you want to free yourself from the constraints of your inner prison
when you want to alleviate stress and gain a higher quality of life
We bravely hop into the new year of 25 with all its challenges and surprises by facing our (secret) fears.
Within the group, we will encourage each other on this path to discover our own personality structure and to expose the corresponding forms of fear, to move out of stagnation and to dance through it.
Clinical supervision supports the management of difficult professional tasks, challenges, dead ends and crises in order to open up opportunities for choice and development for health professionals. Since modern working life is becoming more and more complex, demanding and stressful, clinical supervision aims to improve difficult communication structures and to optimize relationship structures.
Creative clinical supervision uses the creative expression of problems and thus enables a change of perspective in entrenched work situations and encourages trying out new solutions.
The chreatherapeutic continuing education, "Creative Processes" is dedicated to the new mobilization of energy in dealing with personal shadows and blockages. In the therapeutic process, there are often moments of stagnation and borderline experiences in which no progress can be seen.
When words are no longer enough, creative processes are initiated and made tangible in one's own body in order to question established thought patterns and open up new perspectives.
In a world that constantly urges us to push harder, dream bigger, and
“finish the year strong,” we invite you to do something profoundly
different. At Rooted in Rest, we believe true strength lies in our ability to
pause, breathe, and root ourselves deeply in rest and self-acceptance.

Persönliches zu meiner Arbeit
Heal life with life.
I am convinced of a power to heal and restore that can touch our deepest depths and transform us. Dance, music and creativity are gifts, means and forces that help to express what is on the inside of us.
I believe in a loving Creator who has a real interest in this world and in every single person.
The name shoes-off might remind you of when Moses took his shoes off as God revealed himself in the burning bush.
Shoes-off Dance Therapy invites you to let go of outside appearances, step out of roles that you have taken on, so you can sense your true self again.
Dance therapy can help you find new ground to stand on and to leave your own foot print on this planet earth. It is not about any performance but rather allowing your inner most being to come out and express itself freely. Whatever was unspoken in the past may take room and even the faintest voices can be heard.
"It was amazingly usefull. It's brilliant. I am not afraid anymore. I'm really doing well. Most of all, the fear is gone and I can sleep. I wake up once more in the night, but without fear.
Thank you thank you so very much."

"In the group I experienced a lot over the last years:
Getting rid of inhibitions, limits and masks○
Openness without prejudice: everyone can be as they are
"Tuesday nights just do me well. I can come and be as I am. I value the openness and the mutual respect in the group. We encounter one another with kindness and encouragement. We share what is going on in our lives, mostly without words just through movement and dancing. I can move just as I feel like at the moment. I am always amazed how through dancing I can release stress and let go off thoughts or get a new perspective and ideas."

"My apprenticeship I partly owe to you and the group because you gave me hope again. Also I realized that I don’t always have to think so religiously. I always think about you and thank God for all that I have learnt from you. A big thank you to all the women of the group. I keep you in my heart!"

"I come sporadically to do a one-on-one dance therapy session. I am happy that if I get stuck, that there is someone that I can talk things over with. You always give very valuable feedbacks; your comments are encouraging, and I can hear the Holy Spirit so well in those sessions. ...
"I feel like I'm reborn. I was so filled up with peace and calmness as I returned home. It's so crazy even my body feels content. It was like I went to a spa. Thanks a million. Such a blessed work you do."
