“Strength that has effort in it is not what you need; you need the strength that is the result of ease.”
Dr. Ida P. Rolf
Certified Rolfer® & ScarWork™ Practitioner in Saarbrücken
My Journey to Rolfing®
As a certified Rolfer® and ScarWork™ practitioner, I combine my passion for holistic bodywork with solid expertise and a truly international perspective.
After 16 years living and working in London—as well as leading projects in Macao, Scottsdale, and Dubai—I’ve developed a deep understanding of diverse cultures and approaches to well-being. These experiences enrich my practice and shape the way I support my clients’ individual needs.
Training and Expertise:
Certified Rolfer® (European Rolfing® Association, Munich, 2023)
ScarWork™ Practitioner for integrative scar therapy
Certified Sivananda Yoga Teacher (Bahamas Ashram, 2018)
Currently training as a Heilpraktiker (German alternative health practitioner)
Instructor for fascia seminars and workshops at Paracelsus Schools in Saarbrücken, focusing on pain management and self-care for therapists
Before dedicating myself to bodywork, I spent over two decades in the hospitality industry—managing and training teams in London and internationally. This background strengthened my teaching and leadership skills and deepened my appreciation for clear, empathetic communication—qualities that now shape my work in Rolfing® Structural Integration and education.
Thanks to my multilingual skills, I offer treatments in both German and English to support a diverse clientele.
My Philosophy
Fascia therapy according to Dr. Ida Rolf is at the core of my work. Combined with my expertise in ScarWork™, knowledge of functional fitness and yoga, and my Heilpraktiker training, I offer truly holistic and individualized care.
The renowned Rolfing® 10-Series forms the foundation of my practice, but I always tailor each session to the personal needs and goals of every client.
A key part of my approach is education: I want to empower people to take greater responsibility for their own health, better understand themselves, and be kinder to their bodies. I believe in sharing knowledge, not just treatments.
My workshops and one-on-one sessions are designed to help you understand your body, manage pain, and take charge of your health with confidence and kindness.
Education & Inspiration
I also share my insights and experience through my blog “Body & Beyond,” launched in January 2025. This platform explores the world of fascia therapy, holistic bodywork, and the connection between body and mind. With regular posts on topics such as self-regulation, sports recovery, and both modern and time-tested health practices, I aim to inspire and support you on your journey to greater well-being.
Personal Background
My passion for functional fitness and yoga shapes both my professional approach and my personal lifestyle. These experiences, combined with my international perspective, help me to understand and support my clients individually.
My current Heilpraktiker training continues to expand my understanding of human physiology and allows me to blend traditional approaches with modern insights—for comprehensive and sustainable care.

Interested in workshops? Feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to discuss options in either English or German based on demand.
My Mission
I want to help you not only feel better, but truly understand your body and become your own best advocate for health and well-being.
My Approach
I would like to emphasize that my work with Rolfing® and ScarWork™ is intended to complement—not replace—existing treatments and therapies. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, and I have great respect for the ongoing therapeutic relationships my clients may already have. Especially in today’s world, the demand for quality care often exceeds the number of practitioners available. I believe that working together is the best way to meet the growing need for holistic, trauma-informed support. I am always happy to work as part of a broader, multidisciplinary team to enhance my clients’ wellbeing, while honoring and supporting the valuable work already being done by colleagues in the medical, therapeutic, and wellness fields.
About Rolfing® & ScarWork™
Rolfing® and ScarWork™ are holistic, evidence-based methods that not only help relieve chronic pain and movement restrictions, but also support healing processes related to trauma and PTSD. By working gently with connective tissue (fascia) and the nervous system, these approaches help release tension, integrate scar tissue, and restore natural movement patterns. Clients often report improved mobility, reduced pain, and greater emotional resilience. While Rolfing® and ScarWork™ are not substitutes for psychotherapy, they can be a valuable complement in trauma recovery by helping to strengthen body awareness and sustainably improve quality of life.
