Since early on in life, there lived a knowing in me that we are more than our physical bodies. I was not sure where we would be after the death of the physical body, but that our awareness would not cease to exist, was undoubtable for me. Also the intrinsic value of animals was shown to me early on in life through dreams, and the literal nightmares on how we treat them, would only stop after I stopped eating meet. Now, feeling shamanism as an internalized aspect of myself of how I perceive the world and want to be part of this world, this all makes a lot of sense to me. I connect to the spirit animals in my shamanic journeys, as well as to other guides in the unseen, to receive guidance and learn from their qualities. More and more, I perceive the magic of life through the simplicity and at the same time tremendous complexity of nature. All ensouled. My dream is for humanity to wake up to this precious beauty we are all a part of.  

Besides feeling the soul aspect of myself, I also enjoyed the physical aspect of my being through sports, acrobatic dancing, dancing in general and hiking. And thus, I also enjoy the physical aspect of yoga, the flow into different poses, it feels like dancing to me. For me yoga brings all aspects of our being together. Feeling the body, the breath and at the same time as the magic unfolds, the pure bliss of existence.

The fascination for nature and animals early on had brought me at first onto a career path within biology and ecology. Though, neither in science nor in the governmental institutions I worked, I felt like I was in a place where I could make a real difference. 

Thus, my focus now is on awareness and healing work, through yoga, body work and shamanism. As we ourselves move through healing, on deeper and deeper layers, we will feel whole again, save, and connected. To become co-creators of beauty and magic will thus become irresistible.
