For most of my adult life I have experienced chronic pain, mysterious illnesses, mental unease and lack of energy. I sought answers in the western and eastern worlds of medicine, bodywork and teachings, as well as my own self-exploration in practices of yoga, somatic embodiment and intuitive connecting.

Somewhere along the way, it landed that we are living in a time that is not suited for our body, mind and soul. A world where more is better, where we are expected to be switched on all the time, and taking time for rest and self-care is a luxury most can’t afford. We have forgotten that we are sensitive, intuitive and wise beings. That our bodies crave slowness and gentleness. That our souls desire connection. That our hearts want to be held in unconditional love.

My most recent health challenge was in 2024, where I had my rib broken during manual manipulation by a bodyworker. This resulted in me living in constant pain (both physically and mentally) for about one year. It was a real dark night of the soul moment for me. This feeling that something which was supposed to support my body could instead cause so much pain was quite the paradox to accept.

It was a reminder that even within health care, there can be a lack of attunement to what our bodies need, and that the ‘more is better’ mentality seems to be the framework. Through my recovery process, I learnt that slower and gentler is what was needed to help me heal. The magic combination of safe, gentle and slow touch, a calm nervous system, and a deep resonance that I was understood.  

That is why I do this work. My wish is for people to experience what safe touch feels like, to feel the benefits of slowing down, and to realise that they are more than just a body – that they are a temple of absolute, unconditional divine love.
