A few years ago, my son became critically ill. What followed was hospital, intensive care, and days I can still recall hour by hour. Today he is perfectly healthy.

But this isn't the story of my son. It's mine. Because once he was well again and life returned to normal, something happened that I hadn't expected. For months I had functioned — because I had no other choice. I had surfed the wave for as long as it took. And just as everything was finally okay, the tsunami hit me.

What's wrong with me? Everything turned out fine. That sentence stayed with me for a long time.

I began to search. To read. To understand. What I found changed my life: somatic workouts. No analysis. No talking. No optimizing. Just real, small movements — that shifted something in me I could never have reached with words.

After the very first exercise, something was there. A sense of ease I hadn't felt in a long time. I wanted more of it. And I wanted to pass it on. So I trained as a Somatic Workout Teacher with Liz Tenuto. Not because I needed a new career — but because I knew: what helped me can help others too.

Today I know: a stress-free life doesn't exist. And I no longer believe that should be the goal. What matters is the opposite of functioning: being able to land again, even in the middle of chaos. To feel that you're here. To experience the body not as an enemy — but as the most direct way back to yourself. That's exactly what somatic workouts help with.

I work mostly with women and mothers. Because I know how it feels to be there for everyone — and to forget yourself in the process. But if you've landed here as a man: you are just as welcome. Stress makes no distinctions.

If my children had to describe me, they'd say: “Mum is funny.” That lightness is part of me — and I bring it into my work on purpose. Because I believe change doesn't always have to be hard. Sometimes it begins with one small movement.
