A dream pulled me out my introvert life as an artist, inviting me to go out into the world and work with people. What began as a rather tentative and somewhat involuntary venture, with time, became a passion of mine, due to my training in Processwork.
work with individuals, couples and groups (also together with my partner Stephan) in Basel and Zürich, and give workshops in Germany, Russia and Morocco. My great specialty is connecting artistic approaches with Processwork.
Since 1997, I have been working in my „Studio for Processwork“ in Zürich. I also teach Processwork at the Institute for Processwork in Zürich, as well as in Germany and Russia.
I am an art therapist using a Processwork approach, in which life’s meaning is implied in the process of living as such.
I see myself as a kind of midwife receiving the growth signals of my vis-a-vis, creating an awareness of them and holding this very awareness at the edge of the unknown. This can turn “raw material” into potential gold and help integrate it.
Having worked as an artist myself for many years and being an experienced teacher in this field I know the process I accompany from my own experience.
