I pay attention.

For more than twenty years, I've been interested in how people behave, connect and respond to the world around them.

That curiosity has taken me through music, photography, yoga, massage, physical play, intimate conversations and many encounters with people from different walks of life.

I studied photography at the Zurich University of the Arts, have worked internationally as a DJ since the late 1990s, and began teaching movement and practising bodywork more than a decade ago.

Since 2016, I've curated the Movement Masterclass at Tanzhaus Zürich, bringing together artists and teachers from movement, dance and martial arts. My own workshops explore relationships, boundaries, communication and the ways we interact through our bodies.

Today I work with individuals, couples and groups through private sessions, bodywork, workshops and Companionship.

My approach is observant, direct and often playful. I enjoy difficult questions, unusual perspectives and the moments when someone notices something about themselves for the first time.

I also write for kulturzüri.ch, interviewing artists, musicians and cultural figures about their work, lives and perspectives.

How I work

A conversation can reveal a recurring pattern. A movement exercise can make a boundary tangible. Physical play can expose how we respond to pressure, and bodywork can help someone notice where they've been holding tension.

I draw from these different practices depending on the person, the situation and the work we've agreed to explore.

Presence Remains.
