Using the Feldenkrais Method, I support you in finding new possibilities. Where you want to go and what you take with you is your own decision.
I give individual lessons and teach group classes in Zurich Aussersihl.
The Feldenkrais Method is a learning practice in which you explore your movement patterns through slow variations, pausing and repetition.
In the process, it trains your physical, mental and emotional awareness and helps you to find new possibilities in movement.
It can offer support for emotional and physical complaints or pain, innate limitations or the desire to improve an existing ability.
In individual lessons you are touched precisely and moved slowly. In group lessons you move yourself following verbal instructions. Both formats work with the same principles and can complement each other.
The Feldenkrais Method strengthens your inherent resources, can help you achieve new spontaneity, overcome unfavourable stress and movement patterns, improve your coordination and stability and give you more ease and self-confidence.
Among other things, it can be helpful in these areas:
The method is, in all of this, also a practice of self-awareness. It gives you time, provides specific advice, encourages you to try things out and make mistakes and rebuilds connections within yourself and in the world outside.
The method is named after its developer Moshé Feldenkrais (1904 - 1984), who in it integrated knowledge from pedagogy, psychology, biomechanics, systems theory, brain research, manual therapy and martial arts.
The individual sessions are tailored to your needs, wishes and possibilities. You will be moved by me, receive impulses through touch and I will guide your attention with words.
Most of the time you lie on a table, but other positions are also possible. You are always clothed. There is time for conversation before and after the session.
If you have any questions, feel unsure, would like to get to know me a bit first or would like to discuss your matter, please feel free to call me or write to me.
A lesson lasts about 60 minutes and costs CHF 120. The first appointment lasts about 75 minutes and costs CHF 150. Please bring comfortable and warm clothes.
Or contact me to request an appointment.
If you are unable to make it, please let me know 24 hours in advance because otherwise I have to charge CHF 60 for the appointment.

The group class is a quiet movement play without comparison with others. Using words, I guide you through short sequences of movements and direct your attention.
Many lessons take place while lying down, but there are also lessons in sitting, kneeling or standing.
In the course I speak German. Participation is very often also possible with physical limitations or disabilities. If you would like to discuss this with me, please call or write me.
One class lasts 45 to 60 minutes. You can join the course at any time by contacting me. Please bring comfortable and warm clothes.

I’m registered with the EMR. Under complementary health insurance provisions and with prior consultation, many health insurance providers will cover the costs of individual sessions and/or group lessons. List of Health Insurance Providers.
In case you don’t have complementary health insurance, I am happy to discuss a reasonable price together depending on your financial situation.
In search of ways to cope with physical limitations accompanying me since birth, I found the Feldenkrais Method by chance in 2011.
It showed me how valuable it can be to receive impulses through movements and touch that propose something new to me while accepting my limits.
Meanwhile, it is an everyday practice to me, reminding me of forgotten things and suggesting new directions. It makes me laugh at myself and helps me to take my own needs seriously. I sense connections through it and it gives me rest.
Since 2017 it is my profession also.
Working together in a body-centred approach requires awareness from and trust towards me. Searching for connections is as important to me as seeing and valuing differences and accepting the non-understanding.
I am white and cis male. My disability is mostly invisible. My country of birth no longer exists. Part of my family belonged to an unwanted people. My daily life is pretty much discrimination-free, in most areas I have great advantages.
Through the Feldenkrais Method I am always relearning to ask and to listen. It helps me to meet others, as social and biological beings. And in doing so, to create a space in which breath, gravity and one's own history can connect in new ways and other action becomes possible.
I am a qualified Feldenkrais practitioner and a certified member of the Swiss Feldenkrais Association.
Since 2019, I do belong to the network of accompagno Zürich where I am also part of the association board since 2020.
