I have been working in education for 30 years. I am a qualified social pedagogue and worked for 21 years as a teacher at a special school focusing on intellectual development. Today, I continue to work in the educational field, including as a team leader for school support and participation assistance at a youth welfare organisation.

This combination continues to shape my work to this day.

I don’t know everyday educational work second-hand. I know the pressure, the many different needs, challenging situations, lack of time, and the question of how I can do justice to a child who, right now, can’t respond the way we might expect.

This is exactly where my work begins.

I train professionals so they can act with confidence.

This is increasingly where my focus lies today. I want to empower educational professionals to accompany children and young people in a professional, body-oriented, trauma-sensitive and development-promoting way.

In doing so, I combine my educational expertise with my decades of yoga experience and my knowledge of the body, stress and the nervous system. For me, it all belongs together.

When we accompany children and young people, we are always working with ourselves too: with our attitude, our language, the way we deal with stress, and our ability to stay present in challenging situations. All of this has an impact on the people we accompany.
