Education:
Certified breath-, speech- and voice teacher, training at the state-certified school for breath and voice “Schlaffhorst – Andersen” in Bad Nenndorf, Germany
Initial training:
- Dipl. nurse
- Training at the “Comart-Theaterschule”, Zurich
These first two formations paved the way that led me to Germany to the renowned Schlaffhorst-Andersen School for breath and voice. Thanks to all three professions, I can now engage with a wide variety of clients (teachers, managers, singers, actors, media people, young people,….) and treat their individual voice and breathing problems. I dedicate myself to this task with passion, joy and great experience. I see my work as a vocation.
Therapeutic / rehabilitative domain
In my work in the therapeutic area, I combine anatomical, physiological and pathological conditions with individual psychosomatic ones. In doing so, I never lose touch with the human being as a whole, and I specifically use the interactions between breath, voice, speech and movement.
Musical / artistic domain:
When working with professional singers and actors, I optimise their ability to express themselves in a differentiated way by improving their individual breathing, speaking and vocal functions.
For instrumentalists, the training of breath and body awareness can also positively influence their economy of movement and thus their musical expression.
