Being there for other people and supporting them when they are worried is an important part of my life.

I realise again and again how healing it can be to simply be present, to speak less and to communicate more through the power of touch. I am convinced that this not only touches the body, but also the soul. In a world that is so often dominated by words and verbal expression, I find it fascinating and powerful that silence and touch can often say and achieve more than the spoken word. In my work as a therapist, I can help people and at the same time find a space in which I can find and give peace. It fulfils me to know that I can achieve something good with my work and pursue a purpose.

The special thing for me during a massage is the feeling of being in the flow. This state in which my hands know what to do, where to apply gentle pressure or give way, makes it feel as if I am “seeing” with my hands. These moments are enormously valuable to me, and I experience the art of my profession: supporting the path to healing and creating well-being through touch. My calm and empathetic manner makes it easier for many people to open up to me and feel comfortable in the situation. I want to create a pleasant atmosphere and thus a space in which there is nothing that must not be.
