About me

My Story / Origins

From a very young age, my body was my language. Dance and movement became both my passion and my medicine — a way to express what words could not. Yet my childhood was marked by difficulty and trauma, leaving deep pain that I carried silently.

Healing did not come quickly. It required patience, courage, and a devotion to self-love. Even now, my wounded inner child still whispers, but today I carry tools that help me meet those moments with compassion and presence.

Born in the Czech Republic, I left home at 14 to follow the path of dance, living and creating across Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, South Korea, Mexico, and Thailand. Dance saved me — but it also pushed me beyond my limits. By my mid-twenties, my body began to break under the weight of perfectionism, injury, and burnout. That collapse became a threshold: an invitation to listen more deeply, to face my shadows, and to turn inward.
Yoga opened the doorway. Later, plant medicine, somatic work, nervous system regulation, and the transformative power of sound and voice carried me further. These practices guided my passage from the performing arts into the healing arts — from performance to presence.

In my 15+ years as a performer and choreographer, I discovered that the true art is not about display, but about authenticity. To create from essence rather than expectation. To let the body become not only an instrument of art, but also a vessel of healing, spirit, and truth.

Mission / Present

I believe our bodies hold the key to healing and transformation — from the inside out.

Somatic movement, voice, sound, and embodiment have always been my medicines. Again and again, I am humbled by the body’s capacity to regenerate, express, and connect us back to life.

Today my offerings weave together somatic therapy, movement, Triple Vagal Method®, and body-based inquiry, alongside sound healing and voice work. I support others in regulating the nervous system, releasing stored trauma, reclaiming their creative power, and coming home to themselves.
As a ceremonialist and facilitator, I hold spaces of ritual, rite of passage, and sacred gathering where embodiment becomes a living prayer. Here, we remember our ancestral birthrights of movement, song, and connection with Earth and spirit.

I believe we are all born artists. Each of us can dance, sing, and create beauty. The greatest art, however, is our own life — lived as ceremony, woven with authenticity, freedom, and love.
