    I am an integrative body-oriented psychotherapist and this methodology is something I am passionate about, therefore I’m using it in my work, along with Mindfulness, and pottery. For many years I have worked on international projects focused on minorities, LGBTIQ+ topics, mental health, personal development, and inclusion and diversity. Recently I have led an international project that published a comprehensive resource to support mental health of young LGBTIQ+ people.

    Organisation: NGO "Development Center Pangeya Ultima"
    Hi there! Facilitating groups is the piece of artwork and it takes patience and kindness to create magic unless you bring passion to your trainings, which is half work done. I am passionate to work with people, create spaces for them to open up and plant new seeds for a change in their life and the life of those they work with. I am respectful, flexible, creative kind of person. Each training can't go without movement or creativity if I am there. Learning by doing in a safer space is my motto.
