Twice a year, we give ourselves to the dedicated ritual of release at x-dance. As we near the darkest day of the year and slowly arrive to the end of 2025, we allow the collective energy of “endings” fuel and support a cleansing dance.
In service to let die what needs to die, we make space for the wisdom of the body to sense, move, shake, release. In service to make space for rebirth, for the unknown, for the new, for the now.
This is the second of the “December Trilogy” of Saturday night classes. The final x-dance of the year takes place on Devember 20 with an intention to collaborate with the universe, inviting in for 2026. You are invited to join us for these last two dances as they each build on each other. You are also very welcome to drop in for a single class / event too.

“I see dance being used as communication between body and soul to express what is too deep to find words for.” Ruth Denis finding words for what I could only dance.
Movement has a way of revealing what language can’t reach, a way of dialoging not just with our own bodies and souls but that of others too.
A story of my own dance journey: I still remember meeting my husband in that “first dance” and how much we discovered about each other in those minutes. Two souls meeting. To this day, we come back to the practice of dance again and again to communicate what words and daily life activites simply cannot.
If you feel called to explore that space,
join us for x-dance on Saturdays.

Over the last 5 years, I have quietly been building up 1:1 sessions in Berlin to offer personalized approaches to healing. Slowly, I have been shifting to make space for more clients.
This work never ceases to amaze and humble me. Cheering on my clients, believing in their inner wisdom and trusting deeply in their process to come back to wholeness is a great honor.

❍ What is Integrative Coaching
Integrative coaching provides spaciousness for the complexitiy of the human experience - our inner worlds, relationships, bodies, histories, and this present moment. The work brings together multiple methods so each person is supported in the way that fits them.
Rather than offering advice or telling you what to do, this approach accompanies you in discovering solutions that genuinely match your life. It looks at both individual patterns and systemic influences — family dynamics, cultural background, work environments, and the wider contexts you live in.
To meet the whole person, integrative coaching blends a range of practices, such as:
• art-based exploration
• emotional bodywork
• meditation + breath practices
• guided visualizations
• dance or movement-based awareness
• reflective inquiry and dialogue
The work is resource-oriented: it uncovers the strengths, capacities, and inner clarity you already carry, rather than asking you to become someone else. The aim is not dependence — but empowerment. Over time, you develop greater self-responsibility, agency and opportunities to live life from your truth, out of old stories and beliefs.
Sessions are available online or in person.

𖣘 x-dance 𖣘 Creativity in Motion via 5Rhythms Dance - Surrender
Each time we dance, we allow for the dance floor to turn into a creative lab. This time, it`s on the theme of S U R R E N D E R.
To surrender well, to surrender with grace and ease - this is a precious skill to have. And as we enter the last month of the year, I cannot think of a better theme to investigate together:
⁀ How do I have a strong foundation so my full body can surrender even more fully in the dance?
⁀ How can the exploration of surrender in dance lead me further into the grace and ease of surrender in life?
⁀ How can I also meet surrender when there is resistance or tiredness or despire or hope or impatience? How might these qualities be accepted and met so I may receive the full magik of surrender?

As we dance to the end of the 2025 calendar year, I`ve been feeling into ways to support the collective energy.
Last Saturday, we explored the theme of "Connection" and how it might be to be in our authentic, integrous ways of connecting away from constructs and judgements of stories. It was, as many shared, a "wildly free" dance with many "insights, learnings, unlearnings".
You are invited to experience the final 3 x-dances as a "Trilogy" as they each build on each other. You are also very welcome to drop in for a single class / event too.

To surrender well, to surrender with grace and ease - this is a precious skill to have. And as we enter the last month of the year, I cannot think of a better theme to investigate together:
𖣘 Cleansing x-dance | Releasing 2025
Saturday, December 13
This special event is an invitation to release the experiences of 2025 in order to make space for the "new year".
Through a combination of a 5Rhythms Dance Journey and open creative space, there is something special and powerful about an intentional offering to ourselves to cleanse. Whether you’re aware of what you’d like to let go of, or are curious to just let it all unfold through the dance – join us!
𖣘 Magical x-dance | Creating for 2026
Saturday, December 20
As the year draws to a close, we will honor all that has come to pass and welcome the unknown of new beginnings – the magical space of intentional co-creation in the empty space.
⚘ KIX | Journeying out of Addiction. The final two classes are (only) open to those who attended KIX classes / workshops previously. Please note that this project will be closing on December 16.
❍ Integrative Coaching. For focused individual support with a holistic approach.

Recently, my Saturday night crew (most of them) came over and we put on an album and flowed together to collate all the drawings and writings that were "Harvested" at the October 5th "Harvest x-dance".
I had no idea how this experiment would turn out - through a combination of dance x drawing x writing, we opened to a variety of creative ways to explore your personal theme of “thankfulness”.
This Harvest Collage is now on display whenever you come to dance on Saturday night. It`s a light for our darker winter days - a visual representation of what we cultivated in the spring + summer.
Thank you to my crew and to all of you who came and danced and harvested together!

𖣘 x-dance 𖣘 Creativity in Motion via 5Rhythms Dance
This coming Saturday, November 29, we x-dance. It`s an opportunity to drop into the beat x body x heart with whatever is alive in. Letting go of constructs, we get curious moment by moment what movements, what sensations, what feelings arise. Without analysis or judgement, we bring it all through a 5Rhythms Wave - 5 essential energies - into the present moment. To be alchemized.
Each time, we explore a different theme as an invitation into the dance.
⁀ November 29 Theme: Connection ⁀
As we get closer to the "holiday" season where there are often constructs and myths about connection, let`s take the experiment to the dance floor on what is connection moment by moment?
⁀ How do I connect to the different aspects of myself?
⁀ What ideas do I have about "dancing with someone else"? Is there spaciousness for new possibilities of connection?
⁀ What types of co-creation emerges when connection becomes a fluid, multi-textured exploration?

Morning Practices have been a part of my life for the last 15 years.
Through the practice, I`ve learned a combination of intention, discipline and curiosity support these morning practices to evolve and shift as they need to.
Some phases of life need more movement, some
more writing or drawing. Sometimes weaving the intelligence of dreams are what`s most alive. In darker months, lighting a candle and music often call. Reciting prayers, or making up my own each morning. Sharing gratitudes with a few friends upon waking .....
Some times my morning practices drop away for a period of time. Yes indeed, even though I know how precious the morning practices are, they can slip too. Gently, I pick them up again and when I do .... I have the glorious reminder .... what an incredible love confession to myself.
♡

What do I do between giving integrative coaching sessions?
I integrate and release, both honoring the session that just passed and preparing myself for the next session or the rest of the day.
Usually, I dance (no surprise). It`s a way for so much to happen - a prayer for my client, an honoring of their personal journey and agency, a way to process my own experience and any energy that built up during the session.
--
❍ Integrative Coaching sessions with me are an opportunity to both release blockages (from the past) and create change (in the present). My approach is rooted in 10+ years of experience. In our sessions, I draw from a range of techniques to support your individual needs. You’ll discover ways to resolve challenges, restore connections and navigate life with greater resourcefulness.
I have met some common themes in my work that support people to live authentic, self-loving and full lives. Although not exhaustive, here are a few topics on which I coach
Addiction Inquiry: Practical tools and cathartic techniques to bring life into balance.
Breaking Open: Ways to reconnect to the self after a loss, break-up or other ending.
Healthy Relationships: Compassionate inquiry into developing positive relationships with the self and others.
Living Purposefully: Techniques to discover and embrace values and purpose in daily life.
Reclaiming Sexuality: Explorative methods to heal wounds and reclaim abundance of sexuality, sensuality.
Self-Confidence: Methods to step into assertiveness at home and in the workplace.

Today, I had the immense joy of supporting a client in an ending ritual to our work together. We spent time reflecting on where he`s been, what`s shifted in his life and revisited all the tools he`s gathered over our time together.
We explored and developed a series of body-based techniques, artistic inquiries, visualizations and cognitive approaches. In "a summary of summaries", we made space for past hurts to be witnessed and tended to, for old beliefs to surface and be curiously explored, for current stagnation to be held compassionately and for feelings and thoughts to be openly sensed. As we re-capped today, he expressed how this holistic toolbox brings "joy at not being so powerless".
I love my work deeply, and not a day goes by when I am not humbled, in awe and so proud of the courage that sits before me (in that empty chair ;-))

🐕 And big love to Indie who`s naturally fallen into the role as my sidekick since the day I adopted him, one year ago.
