Experience with Calisthenics, Lyra (aerial hoop), pole and contortion (I’m the Elastischool “problem solver” for muscoskeletal issues and difficulties with finding correct engagement)
Alongside those “official qualifications”, I have been investigating the function of the human body and mind in my self directed study over the past decade and am knowledgeable in topics such as hypermobility, neurodiversity, gut-brain-axis and how to “prehab” and rehab certain musculoskeletal issues. My current topic of learning is fascia and the role of the gut microbiome in physical and mental illness vs. health. My aim is to integrate all my learnings into my teaching and later physiotherapeutic work, so I can holistically guide and help my clients and patients.
I have also obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and a Master of Arts each in Media Science and Religious Studies, all degrees from Universität Basel.
