My personal dance of life
A journey to myself
Everything has its time - and its history! Who are we? Why do we do what we do? And what makes us special?
Find out here how I became who I am.
The journey to myself began early on when I was drawn to Bella Italia. I completed an interdisciplinary architecture degree in Milan and also gained artistic experience in film, photography and design. I was particularly interested in how architecture can sensitize people to their environment. This topic led me to Berlin, where I started my first job. I quickly recognized my talent in communication. A key experience led me to lighting design. I like to describe this phase of my life as “away from black and towards a variety of colors”. I found a permanent position at an industrial company near Hanover and in 2004 at an energy company in Frankfurt.
Due to my job, my freedom was limited, so I looked for it in dance and found it in Biodanza® - Dance of Life Process. I completed my training (2001-2005) with Dipl.-Psych. Cristina Arrieta and started teaching in Frankfurt in 2005. After a personal crisis, I quit my secure job and set off on the Camino de Santiago in Spain for five weeks in 2015. It led to a reorientation of my dance activities. I discovered VitalDanza® with Patricia Martello and Soul in Motion with Michael Molin Skelton, which I have been practicing weekly since 2022. I have also been practicing the QiGong-TaiChi-HayKar method twice a week for years, which gives me a great space for slowing down and harmonizing my energy flow, as well as providing impulses for my workshops.
