I kept going back. Even when it was uncomfortable, I kept going. It became the center of my life for a while. I started traveling to contact improvisation festivals, one after another. And through that world I began finding something wider: teachers of bodywork and healing arts, different ways of working with the body.

Over the years that followed, I kept traveling. Between continents, and also through layer after layer of whatever I’d been carrying without knowing it. I found teachers and methods, each one offering a different way into the same territory: the body as a living, intelligent process worth actually listening to.

I’m still on that path.

Why I do this

I didn’t come to this through a clinical background. I came through my own long confusion and the slow process of finding my way back.

For years I thought I could understand my way to freedom. I couldn’t. Understanding wasn’t what shifted things. Something else did, something more direct, more physical. That is what I work toward with other people.

Where I am

My home base in Europe is Belgrade, Serbia. In the winter you’ll find me in Koh Phangan, Thailand. All one-on-one sessions are online, and I teach group classes worldwide.

Background & Training

• Feldenkrais Method
• Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy and Upledger
• Hanna Somatics
• Transforming Touch – Developmental Trauma Enhancements
• NeuroAffective Touch

I keep studying. Right now I am in my third year of Aletheia Coaching and in the Animism & Earth Ritual Practitioner Training.

I’ve noticed that whatever I’m working through in myself tends to quietly show up in how I sit with someone else. That’s reason enough to keep going.

One question I keep returning to, in my own practice and in this work:

My work brings together evidence-informed somatic education, nervous system-based bodywork, trauma-informed touch, depth coaching, and earth-based practice.
Some of these methods are grounded in motor learning, anatomy, and neuroscience. Others come from therapeutic, contemplative, and ancestral traditions.
All of them share a respect for the body’s intelligence and its capacity to find its own way back.

Feldenkrais Method

Moshe Feldenkrais was a physicist and judo expert who built a method around the body’s capacity to learn from within. Using slow, gentle movement sequences combined with directed awareness, it shows the nervous system what else is possible. The underlying science is neuroplasticity, the brain’s lifelong capacity to reorganize itself through new experience. Moving slowly and with attention gives the brain richer information than pushing harder or repeating the same pattern. Old habits of bracing, compensating, and moving in restricted ways begin to loosen. The nervous system, given enough new information, finds a better way on its own. Grounded in biomechanics, physics, and motor learning, it has been used effectively for chronic pain, limited mobility, balance, and the physical residue of long-term stress.

Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is one of the gentlest forms of bodywork available, and often one of the most unexpected in its effects. It works with the slow, tide-like motion of cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid surrounding and nourishing the brain and spinal cord, whose quality shifts depending on whether the nervous system is at ease or still bracing against something. Through very light touch, it supports the system toward a “still point,” a pause in which everything can reorganize from within. The work draws on osteopathic medicine, anatomy, and the craniosacral tradition developed from the early work of William Sutherland. It is particularly valuable for people who carry chronic tension, stress-related symptoms, or trauma that does not respond to more direct approaches. The deep rest it produces is often unlike anything a person can access on their own.

Hanna Somatics

Thomas Hanna built his method around a concept he called Sensory Motor Amnesia: the condition where muscles have learned to stay contracted as a habitual response to stress or injury, and the brain has partially lost the ability to voluntarily release them. His technique is called pandiculation, the deliberate, conscious contraction of a tight muscle followed by a very slow, controlled release. This retrains the motor cortex and resets muscle tone at its source. Stretching often triggers the body’s own tightening reflex. Pandiculation sidesteps that entirely, working with the brain’s voluntary motor system. Grounded in conventional neuroscience, the practical results tend to be rapid and lasting: reduction in chronic pain, improved posture and mobility, easier breathing, a quieter baseline tension in the body. And because the movements can be practiced independently, the work continues between sessions.

Transforming Touch

Transforming Touch was developed by Stephen Terrell and addresses a specific and often invisible layer of suffering: the imprints left by developmental trauma, the experiences of overwhelm or unmet need that occur before we have language. This kind of wound lives in a pre-verbal part of the nervous system, and understanding it rarely changes it. It works through gentle touch applied in a specific sequence, speaking to the nervous system in a register it recognized before words existed. Grounded in Polyvagal Theory, attachment research, and neurophysiology, it works to reduce cortisol, increase oxytocin, and give the body a direct experience of co-regulation and safety. For people who have carried that kind of background anxiety their whole lives, and found that insight and talking did not move it, this tends to reach the layer where the pattern actually lives.

NeuroAffective Touch

NeuroAffective Touch was developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Aline LaPierre and draws on affective neuroscience, attachment theory, somatic psychotherapy, and research on touch in human development, including the work of Dr. Tiffany Field at the Touch Research Institute. The body’s first experiences arrive through physical contact, before memory and before language. What was missing or disrupted at that earliest level rarely shifts through words alone. It works with the signals the body sends to the brain, and with how the brain processes and responds to those signals, building a conscious dialogue between the two. It addresses developmental gaps, attachment patterns, and the embodied sense of not quite being here that many people carry without being able to name it. The work is slow, careful, and attuned, treating the body as a full participant in what unfolds.

Aletheia Coaching

Aletheia Coaching was developed by Steve March as an integrative depth-coaching method. Aletheia is an ancient Greek word meaning unconcealment, the bringing to light of what is already there but hidden. It works through four interconnected layers: parts work drawing on Internal Family Systems, somatic and process work attending to the embodied felt sense, presence practices, and nondual inquiry. It differs from most coaching in that it does not push you toward change. It creates enough safety and attention for your own system to relax its defenses and show what is underneath. Trauma-informed and grounded in developmental psychology and neuroscience, it suits people who are already self-aware but find that insight alone keeps meeting the same walls. Change tends to be lasting when it comes from inside.

Animism & Earth Ritual

Animism is the worldview held by most human cultures throughout history: that the world is alive, and that land, water, plants, animals, and ancestors are living presences with whom we are in relationship. Earth ritual practices are the practical disciplines through which that relationship is built, maintained, and repaired. This work, developed through Daniel Foor’s Ancestral Medicine, offers grounded, culturally sensitive practices for reconnecting with the living world: learning to listen to place, to honor lineage, to find again a sense of belonging that extends beyond the personal. Much of what troubles people today, the loneliness, the disconnection, the ecological grief, the vague sense of uprootedness, has roots in the severing of this larger relational web. Healing oneself alone will not fully address it. For those drawn to this dimension, it offers a serious and grounded path back.
