About Me

Since childhood, I've been fascinated by body control, consciousness, and spirituality. I started mime at eight, and shortly after, karate. I listened to stories about shamans and yogis. Early on, I knew: This is the path I want to follow.

Over the years, I have studied and practiced intensively in many traditions and completed numerous trainings – from Vipassana and Kriya Yoga to NLP and neuro-mental training. I have learned Wing Chun, Muay Thai, and Shaolin Kung Fu, as well as shamanism and Taoist meditation. The essence of all these experiences flows into my work.


Go to the root. Find clarity. Recognize the nature of your own mind.

Today I support people in strengthening their body and mind, finding inner peace and developing their potential.
