My path as a therapist for early childhood development began in 2009, inspired by a personal search to support my younger son’s motor and emotional growth. That journey led me to the First-Step Method, rooted in the Feldenkrais approach for infants—a gentle but powerful way to support movement and learning from the earliest stages of life. Further, I'm a Pekip® and PäPKI® educator.
The impact on my own family was so profound that I committed to mastering—and evolving—the method.
Adaptable across cultures and developmental stages, this approach supports families in Zurich and around the world.
Sessions are deeply focused and effective, without overwhelming your child.
Every baby and family is unique. Each session is adapted in real time based on your child’s current development and your parenting style.
I’ve represented the First-Step therapy in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, and currently serve as a committee member of AEMO, an association supporting children with rare diseases. These experiences have deepened my skills in inclusive, adaptive, and family-focused care.
I have enriched my practice over the years through ongoing training, hands-on experience, and working with families in Switzerland, Germany, and Italy. My method integrates Feldenkrais principles with modern, research-based therapies such as PäPKi®—a scientifically grounded approach to identifying and gently resolving early motor imbalances in infants. Being a certified PäPKi® educator, your classes can be reimbursed. Please look for me here: ErfahrungsMedizinisches Register EMR.
My work is designed to answer these questions—with warmth, expertise, and practical strategies you can begin using right away.
If you're looking for a research-backed, deeply respectful, and individualised approach to early childhood development, I would be honoured to support your family’s journey.
Our workshops are tailored for babies from birth to independent walking—a crucial time for motor and sensory development. As a certified early childhood therapist, I guide parents through hands-on techniques to better understand and support their baby’s needs. You’ll learn practical tools to soothe your baby more easily. Stimulate early motor skills like rolling, crawling, and upright posture. Support sensory integration for a balanced development. These workshops empower parents to feel confident, connected, and proactive—laying a strong foundation for their baby’s healthy growth.

PäPKi® developmental and learning therapy helps identify and gently address early motor or sensory delays in babies. Through careful observation, I explain to parents how physical immaturity can affect posture, coordination, and overall development. Parents gain clear insight into the link between movement patterns and developmental milestones, why certain gaps appear and how to address them early, and how to actively support their baby’s neuromotor maturity. This early intervention can make a lasting difference in your child’s growth and confidence.
