I was born in Carinthia/Austria in 1976, and raised there. I studied Digital Art in London and have been working as a freelance media designer in Vienna/Austria since 2000. I was introduced to the beneficial effects of Shiatsu in a phase of my life characterised by private and professional change which led to my decision to concentrate on an increased holistic approach to life and to work with other people on what motivates, moves, and characterises them.

2006-2009 Hara Shiatsu Institute Tomas Nelissen, Vienna


I treat people from all kinds of backgrounds and with different complaints. Thus far emphasis has been in the field of
… Women (birth, unwanted childlessness, PMS, menstrual
problems, endometriosis, etc.)
… Children and youth (challenging behaviour, hyperactivity)
… Rehabilitation (accidents, injuries)


I am fascinated by Zhan Zhuang Chi Kung, which I have been studying with Peter den Dekker (NL), Istvan Salamon (A) and Thomas Dinter (A) for several years.

For me Shiatsu means to approach people with care and respect and to help them improve their well-being. I'm looking forward to many interesting encounters!
