Who I am?
Leading a healthy and fulfilled life, music, art and movement play important roles in my life. The beauty and potential of creative expression in different fields of art have always fascinated me. I was lucky to start playing instruments, dancing and painting at an early age. Following up on this passion for creativity, I later studied graphic design and undertook intensive training in several dance techniques such as classical ballet, contemporary, modern and new dance, Body Mind Centering, contact improvisation, yoga and meditation as well as flow arts techniques like hula hoop, poi, fans and staff spinning. I feel blessed that today I can live my life as an artist (I perform fire, light and daytime shows that combine flow arts and dancing) and teacher in my chosen fields. I especially like passing on the positive effects of this knowledge and skills to others and hope to create more joy and abundance in doing so.
