Hello, I am a movement artist from Belgium. From a young martial arts student, a circus enthusiast and later a dedicated yoga practitioner I have travelled around the world to learn from various teachers and movements facilitators, eventually discovering a passion for the healing arts. I have established a clinic in Sydney and facilitate workshops and trainings both in Australia and in Europe.

I ENJOY meeting new people, diving into someone’s world and sharing mine, sharing poetry, inspiration and ideas.
I LOVE all things between movement and stillness; from the art of tea ceremony to the free expression within contact improvisation dance.
I LIKE everything that is adventurous, unexpected, colourful and bouncy.
I BELIEVE in trust, honesty and humanity.
I WANT to experience the ‘local way’, feel the ‘pulse’ of the places I visit rather then sightseeing the hotspots.

Right now, I am returning to Europe after 7 years of calling Australia my home. I’m travelling a lot for work this summer; teaching Zenthai Shiatsu and movement workshops before aiming to settle somewhere in Spain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to broaden my horizon and let myself be taken by the current of the unknown. I built walking tracks in remote areas of Tasmania; sailed the southern winds; found a golden compass of Eastern wisdom; cycled along the Laos border in Vietnam and I contributed a peace of everlasting stonework to a sacred mountain.

Every day breathes the potential to be an adventure.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If we get the chance, I would love to share a tea ceremony with you. This practice has enriched my life so much and always brings me home to the essence of being. It would be an honour to sit and share bowls of tea with you in this way.

I am also a zenthai shiatsu therapist and am happy to to be of support.
