I am originally from Hamburg, Germany and have been living here in Nelson for the past 8 years where I have continued my massage practice of over 36 years.

​

Leaving Germany in 1980 I first travelled to California where I worked in hospice care, a deeply transformative experience. It was also here that I worked at the Postural Integration Institute before heading onto India where I entered an Ashram. Within the Ashram I embarked upon my spiritual journey while also completing my massage training in the Rebalancing method of deep tissue massage.

​

The Rebalancing technique was developed in the 1970s and is a combination of Rolfing, Postural Integration, Trager and Feldenkrais; it approaches the body & mind as a harmonious whole.

 

In 1992 I extended my training, in Spain to become an Ericksonian Hypnotist and in Poona completed my massage instructor training.

 

Looking back it was my time working in hospice care that set me on my path towards integrational bodywork allowing me to help people find more balance, understanding and happiness in life.
