My Story

Growing up in Munich, Germany, I always dreamed of living abroad and I spent over three  years living in Canada before I moved to Australia.

It was during my time in Canada that I noticed there was more to life than constructing a perfect resume for a hospitality career which did not feel fulfilling. I did however find fulfillment in many other things during this time, I discovered many of my strengths, my love for nature, healthy food, a healthier lifestyle and a nourishing beautiful environment.

Driven to make use of my regained freedom of choosing to learn and live what feels right to me I made a list of all the things I wanted to learn about and find a modality I could study that incorporated some of them.

​

Looking back at this list now, so many years later, I am always amazed that all of these things play a role in how I use my skills today.

 

Whilst I am by no means a physically perfectly aligned person I have learned to listen to my body's messages, needs and capacities. Being a tall woman I have many challenges with my neck's osteoarthritis and the challenge to maintain good posture.

 

But without striving for perfection I have never felt more comfortable and happy in my body. I have an innate feeling of gratitude for my body's healing abilities no matter if I'm struck down by a cold or the bathroom scales show me astronomical digits.

 

I have realized that feeling in flow and operating with less background noise made up of fears, inadequacies and self-sabotaging chatter has made life much more enjoyable.

 

It’s not about being happy and feeling in flow or at ease once you get somewhere or once you have achieved a certain goal. Life has become more about being happy and content right where I am now.

 

Once you have established a steady baseline, you have released a lot of old conditioning and old patterns from your muscles and tissues you can even face challenges with more ease.

 

I can honestly say that after 10 years since learning Kinesiology, many years since studying Bowen therapy and after completing a Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical Myotherapy, including my own experiences with clinical and mind-body therapies, all of the modalities I have learned have helped me stay true to my path.

​

Bowen and Kinesiology are an invaluable tool to relieve stress or pain and access your body’s innate wisdom to lead a happier, healthier life.
