I. Profile
Beginning
1981, I started a professional training in dancing focussing on ballet
and modern dance. Later on, my interests shifted to release techniques,
contemporary dance and contact improvisation. I completed a program in
ontology in 1993.
1986 until 1997 I was part of the board of Esther e.V (studio for dance and theater) with responsibility in administration and teaching. Since 1992, I have been working independently as a dance educator, trainer and personal trainer. In 1998, I became a member of tamed e.V. (dance medicine Germany) and the Bavarian State Association for Contemporary Dance (BLZT). In 1999 and 2000, I received further training in cranio-sacral therapy at Thalamus Institute in Munich, Germany. Later in 2000, I joined the network of Christians in Healthcare (CIG e.V.).
I developed the Philbios® technique using a holistic approach to training, i.e. including physical and cognitive elements. The trademark was registered in 1999. Additionally, I received certification for GYROKINESIS® in 2004, GYROTONIC® in 2007 as well as a certificate from tamed e.V. as a teacher for dance medicine. I finished a two-year program in pastoral care with the IGNIS institute (Academy for Christian Psychology) in 2008.
Besides working as a teacher internationally, I have also been working as a personal trainer at my „MICRO-Studio“ in Munich in the above mentioned areas, Philbios®, GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC®.

II. General
Overview
Using all these techniques, I am able to address a variety of needs that have developed in our society. My flexible but comprehensive and deep understanding of how to interact with people and treat the human body, fills a gap within all commonly known offers from gym training courses and wellness programs to prevention measures and coaching.
We will work process-oriented, not performance-oriented. This will lead to a lasting improvement of your well-being and provide for an important balance within our stressful society.
III. Techniques
Please be advised:
All of the above mentioned techniques can be used in addition to professional therapeutic treatment but may not be considered a substitute for mainstream medical diagnosis and treatment. All trainings are taken at your own risk.
1. Philbios®
Philbios® is a holistic training that uses elements of moving anatomy, perception training, ontological counseling techniques, neuro-muscular programming, ideokinesis c.f. Philbios®. It can be considered a release technique.
Philbios® is not a therapy, neither mentally nor physically. It is meant to support your health and well-being but can not be used as diagnosis or therapy. All instructions and teaching may be considered as a training. Especially concerning physical or mental issues, Philbios® is no substitute for medical attendance. It is strongly recommended to seek medical advice.

GYROKINESIS ®
GYROKINESIS® is a training to enhance your body coordination, mobilize and stabilize your spine, strengthen your pelvic base and your muscular system, release bonded fascia and improve your blood count and metabolism by combining exercise and breath control c.f. GYROKINESIS®.
3. GYROTONIC ®
This philosophy of our movements is based on GYROKINESIS®. Using training machines like PTCU (Pulley Tower Combination Unit) all movements are monitored and having the right guidance the correct movement patterns can be found much faster. GYROKINESIS® is also used for rehabilitation, i.e. following a slipped disk or knee problems c.f. GYROTONIC®.
4. Dance Medicine (tamed e.V.)
My interest in the areas of dance and medicine can be described as a special understanding of „moving anatomy“. Here, I focus on a living and therefore moving body in contrast to a dead body being dissected. You will find different perspectives and experience using this approach. In addition, aspects like nutrition, psychology et cetera are incorporated into this technique c.f. tamed.
This technique is a great support for all the other techniques.
5. Pastoral Care
Pastoral care, counseling and coaching is part of the other techniques and enhances a healthy and respectful way of communication with yourself as well as other people. It also serves as a protection for both students and teacher from incursions within the psychological realm.
This complex education and training allows me to provide for a wide variety of training interests.
IV. Workshops
Please contact me to attend one of the scheduled courses (c.f. „Schedule“) or book a special course for you, your friends or at your company.
The following topics are currently available, others may be added:
