I am an independent dance artist, teacher, mentor and healing practitioner based in Amsterdam, active in the field of performance and theatre for 30 years.

In my work I seek to develop the moving body as a vessel for our aliveness, humanness and interconnectivity through which we can engage our collaborative intelligence and build shared ground and understanding.

I create dance performances and performative installations collaborating with dancers, musicians, visual artists and light designers from all over the world.

I give classes and workshops in Dancing & Making , Skinner Releasing Technique™ and my movement practice in natural environments.

As a qualified healing practitioner, I offer healing sessions using the Intelligenz des Lebens® Heilweisen and the Divine Plan Healing.

If my work resonates with you and you feel an attraction to collaborate, join my classes or work individually with me, book a performance, host a workshop or receive a healing session please send me an email.  I’m always happy to discuss what I can bring to you.
