Autumnal greetings and well wishes for seasonal abundance.
A few weeks ago, I offered a workshop in Zürich in Dynamic Expansion/Moveable Cinema hosted by dance artist Tanja Saban. This took place at the Tanzhaus Zürich, on the bank of the Letten river which is so very beautiful. Thank-you, Tanja, and to all who came to explore this embodiment work together, amazing community of movers. I am hoping to make it back again soon.
{-Production-}
Tanja Saban created the conditions for an artistic exchange at her newly founded art creation space in Stampa, Switzerland. Tanja’s next production is incorporating her dance with fluid body dynamics in relation to land, collaborating with sound art, and socio-ecological relationships sourced from local bodies of water. Inspiring work! Lacuna Creation Space
Final Stages of the Film tomorrow, after all are being made, and this film will then be searching spaces where is can be installed, as part of or connected to Movement on film. Special thank-yous to ANton Skarbon sound artist and director Måars Helldin.

Long read:
Agility; this word feels best to describe the new workshop I have am currently creating and developing. They are aimed at bringing awareness to how we hold, stiffen, resist in our bodies in various way. Some ways that are protective at first, then become obstacles in our movement freedoms, some ways are simply repetitive non-conscious movements/postures that become thicker over time.
Coming directly from practices in my dance/movement research experience, and my craniosacral practices; I wish to inspire conscious fluid movement as a gateway of possibilities for maintaining agile and exceptional new ways of moving. This is for folks whose bodies that have suffered and recovered from injury, major life transitions, post-surgery, repetitive postural imbalances and adaptations, and wish to move more freely.
With a life of motion, from early athletics, 40+ years in dance, 30 years of health facilitation, I feel well in my body and optimistic. Movement is the answer to the question of how to promote agility. My optimism is lived, witnessing injury recovery, prevention and I have this strong desire to offer ways of movement that bring Joy in discovery. I would like to assist folks to be their own best movement coach and find the inspiration to overcome the “thicknesses” that have often felt a prevention of movement.
If you are someone who wants to move well, perhaps former or current dancer, yoga instructor, an athlete, a club dancer, an urban cyclist, bodyworker, or you have come to an age where you want to stay moving even if you must adapt come and join.
ELDOA©
Since 2022 i am a practicing certified ELDOA Trainer, which is a unique and complex fascial stretching and strengthening technique. I am integrating this work into my private Craniosacral practice, and offering private and semi-private classes. Please contact me if you are interested
{Dynamic Expansion™ CRANIOSACRAL}
Private sessions in Dynamic Expansion™
Gesundheit /Health practice of Dynamic Expansion hands-on work
My practice is accepting new clients for session work either in-person in Berlin, Kreuzberg or long-distance for online facilitation sessions.
I am often asked:
• “What to expect or how often shall one come for this work?
In short; for acute issues one to three sessions.
For older themes and issues, perhaps trying one, then seeing if this work supports you and imagining 3 or more sessions.
• What do you work on? Is it only physical?”
I work holistically, therefore in my understanding we can separate ourselves into understandable branches: Physical, Feeling, Mind etc. but work within a larger field of connectivity.
In short: YES, it is physical, however we also have the complexity and ability to notice it the root causes be them physical, feeling, mind, life journey etc.
• What happens in a session?
I have an array of practices; they are utilized in a bespoke and intuitive fashion for each client. There are sometimes spoken moments, breath exercises, sometimes subtle movement tunings, i work with less subtle ELDOA™ stretch postural strengthening exercises, and hands-on craniosacral neuroreceptive touch.
• I do not have a health issue, but would like support with a project I am working on, how does that work?
I have a process that works from a somatic facilitation approach to assist people to realize projects, creative works, choreographies, Academic work, job manifestation, family needs, dream realization. The approach I have works at the Body, Feeling, Mind levels to assist a person to perceive their clear stages to meet, and preparing the the way with them consciously to endeavour to meet each stage.
• How will i feel after a session?
I often suggest not scheduling too much high-level activity directly after a session, as one’s nervous system may signal “rest” to integrate the work we do. For some folks, there is an hour or two of slower movement and reactions, however an upswing of energy later. It’s person to person different.
• What do i need to do to prepare?
Practically: Please come hydrated, bring or wear comfortable clothing: however, in colder months please no hoodies or pants with thick seams and in warmer months bring socks to cover sandal feet ( i may touch your feet and face in a session) and not too complicated straps, and no bare backs thank you.
Just to manage to come right around the beginning time of a session, i have no reception or waiting room
Intentionally: Imagine one to three themes you are wanting support with, again Body, Mind, feeling levels.
I do not work medically, but if you have a diagnosis, please bring the findings with you.
I do not work psychotherapeutically, but if you do have a diagnosis, please be prepared to share a summary.
Craniosacral Dynamic Expansion is a hybrid practice which I developed incorporating 25+ years of Craniosacral practices together with expanded consciousness, movement awareness and co-creative work with Nature. I work co-creatively with each client given one's individuality and needs. Please note that some themes and issues could find resolution in one session, some in three to four sessions and others over time.
Long-Distance Practice
I also practice long-distance sessions, done over audio calls, or video calls. I have received very positive feedback over the last decade, and one of the beautiful benefits of these sessions is I am able to offer continuity for my international clients or for those in Germany who do not reside in Berlin or with those that prefer to be in their private space for this one-to-one work. Please be in touch if this mode of working interests you.
