My Story
I spent years being silenced, shamed and dismissed when speaking my truth or sharing my unadulterated self. Somehow it got me in trouble more often than not.
This silencing sometimes was obvious, but mostly it was very subtle. And powerful each time.
This led me to retreat into myself and books. Silence became my best friend.
Yet, my search for meaning, acceptance and creative self-expression was stronger and led me on an incredible journey through the theatre, film, performing arts, human transformation as well as a deep spiritual practice and commitment.
My lifelong love, passion and experience in
+ acting as well as in the art of performance
+ coaching, storytelling, improvisation
+ video production and filmmaking
and above all my quest for truth and the freedom of self-expression, all provided me with powerful tools , techniques and experiences that helped me free myself from my own blocks and fears, and taught me how to liberate my own and authentic, free and powerful voice to communicate effectively through speaking or creating films and videos.
Finally, in an interesting turn of events, I now enjoy what once was my biggest fear and struggle. It ended up being the pathway to my own empowerment.
And this I want for you too.
THIS CAN BECOME YOUR REALITY ALSO.
Because, we all have the right to speak – and speak in a way that we are heard and seen.
When we know our truth, and can fully own our story, we stand in our power.
That’s when we are deeply connected to ourselves, to our words and our message – our energy and presence is powerful and people and situations have the chance of being touched and moved by what we say and who we are.
