The last few months have been very enriching. In January, I was able to assist in a course in Lahu Village, and afterwards, I studied with Joe Khumlee in Chiang Mai. It's always nice to return to Lahu Village, where my Thai massage journey began. This time was especially meaningful as the New Year celebration coincided with the course. I also thoroughly enjoyed my time with Joe; he is one of my favorite teachers and a good friend. I find it fascinating to see the different approaches and focuses of various teachers and to determine where I want to emphasize in my own practice.
In February, I flew to China, where I was invited to teach a course. The course took place in Dali (Yunnan). It was my first visit to China and a very exciting experience. Particularly, the fact that almost all transactions, including payment, are digital was a stark contrast to Germany, where cash is still widely used. I was warmly welcomed in Dali, met friends, and made new ones. The course went extremely well, especially with the great support from Weronika Tyrpa, who led the morning program and started the day in a playful way. The next trip to China is already in the planning :)
I'm back in Berlin now and happy to offer treatments and to teach courses here and abroad.
Happy New Year!
4th of January 2024
I hope you had a great transition into the new year :) 2023 has been an exciting year for me with many surprises. In September, we organized a Thai Massage and Contact Improvisation Gathering in the mountains of Georgia. The gathering went wonderfully, and besides massage and dance, we had plenty of time to explore nature and visit the local sauna.
In October, I was invited to Poland to lead a massage course. The focus of the course was on the use of knees and elbows during a massage, and the organization was done by Weronika Tyrpa. It was a beautiful workshop and an exciting time in Poland. Thank you, Weronika.
There are also some exciting events planned for the next year. For the next two months, I will be in Asia. Most of the time, I will be in Thailand, participating in massage courses myself. Afterward, I will travel to Dali (China), where I have been invited to teach a massage course. As this will be my first time in China, I am very excited to explore this unfamiliar country.
From March onwards, I'll be back in Europe and look forward to offering courses here as well. You can find all the courses under Training/WS.
Charity massage once per month
15. June 2023
Once per month I like to offer a donation based massage of about 90mins. Your donation will go to a charity cause of your choice. The idea is, that after the treatment you donate a chosen amount of money by yourself to a cause/organization you like to support (children support, cancer research, ..). There won’t be any money exchange between us and you don’t have to prove your donation. It is trust based.
Video with ASMR
02. May 2023
In the fall of last year I was asked by ASMR to do a massage for their YouTube channel. It was an interesting experience to do a massage in the setting of a professional shooting with multiple cameras and microphones. Recently ASMR uploaded the first part of the massage on their channel.
Stillness and Flow with Pasi
16. April 2023
On Monday we returned to Berlin from our first retreat Stillness and Flow with Pasi Kuusela. The retreat took place at Haus Ananda in Brandenburg and we enjoyed it so much that we are already making plans for the next retreats. Thanks to all who were there and to all who helped in making it happen! Following are some photos, which were taken during the retreat.
The last three months I did spent in Thailand where I used the opportunity to study, play and to make new connections. It was a very inspiring and enriching time and I am grateful that I could see some of my teachers again :) Now I am on the way back to Berlin and look forward to offer treatments again!
New website, new courses and Thailand!
30th of December 2022
After working on it for quite a while, the new webpage is ready! The aim was to make everything more clear and organized. How do you like the new look?
New courses for 2023! Over Easter together with my good friend Pasi we will facilitate a residential course where we look at traditional and dynamic approaches of Thai Yoga Massage and how to harmonize them in a treatment. The retreat will be held in the beautiful house Ananda. In May there will be three day introduction course and shortly after Bali will come to Berlin to teach some therapy! In September you can join me for some Thai Yoga Massage in the beautiful mountains of Georgia, surrounded by magnificent wildlife. In October once again Bali will come to Berlin and we will learn how to massage with herbal balls to prepare us for the cold time of the year! All the information you can find under Training/WS if anything is not clear or you have some questions, just write me! Other courses might pop up during the year :)
The next 2.5 months I will be in Thailand and obviously wont be able to offer treatments in Berlin during that time. Being able to go back to Thailand is very important to me, to meet my teachers, deepen my studies and to get new inspirations! Hope to see you back in spring!
