Meridians make it easy for us to connect with ourselves, our clients and the changing nature around us.
Shiatsu also thrives on connection on other levels – or is everything in Shiatsu meridian work?
As a practitioner, how do I know that I am truly ‘present’? How can I perhaps strengthen this, become more aware of it?
How do I notice to what extent my client is ‘present’ – able to connect with themselves so that a connection, a contact between us, becomes possible in the first place for the treatment?
I look forward to exploring this with interested participants at the ESC workshop, offering my ideas and approaches, and creating a tangible path for all of our Shiatsu treatments.

Shiatsu inspires me because of its richness and interconnectedness, of structures within us, how these relate to emotional experience, and what acts upon and within me.
The training I received from the team of Wilfried Rappenecker, Meike Kockrick, Jürgen Westhoff and many others moved me deeply and fueled my passion for Shiatsu.
After six years as an assistant, I began sharing Shiatsu with interested learners, and since 2017 I’ve taken over leadership of the Shiatsu School in Hamburg.
The encounter through Shiatsu is one of the most authentic I know.
My curiosity is always eager to explore other forms of meeting and treatment, such as craniosacral therapy, fascia medicine, and more. Yet, my fascination remains with Shiatsu, and my creativity keeps finding new paths and connections between disciplines.
Sharing and exploring this with participants in my courses continues to enrich me deeply.
