My path led from rationale to sentience, and from boardroom to embodied presence. Today, these worlds merge in Bodhiwhispers. <\/em><\/p>

Below, I share an insight into how Mind, Body, and Soul each found their place in the course of my life. Not merely as a personal history, but as the sincere and expert foundation from which I guard the professional framework of Bodhiwhispers and carefully guide every encounter. <\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Already as a kid, I was eager to climb onto stages, recite my own poems and spellbind my audience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

My grandfather showed me his books on the origins of the universe. For hours I could philosophize about the infinitely huge and tiny aspects of our universe. I was entranced by both the beauty and the intangibility of this universal intelligence. Bitten by the same mathematics bug as my father, I used to help my nephew and niece with their lessons: writing formulas in the sand while laughing and playing, to reach simplicity and understanding, that was fun and with good test results!<\/p>

Also at a young age, I experienced what unaware and unwholesome actions do to people. It turned my idyllic world view upside down. In search of alternative forms of expression, I took my first steps towards diction and drama as a teenager.<\/p>

During the summer months, I worked as a playground supervisor with differently-abled youngsters. Every afternoon I treated them with storytime reading in the sensory room, and they loved it. Their authenticity, cuddles and empathic talent gave me a great deal of healthy energy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It was my mother who taught me pragmatism and perseverance. I became a business engineer and wanted to fully apply myself professionally. For some twenty years, I worked at management level, including as a consultant and project coordinator in Global Healthcare and Educational Services: as a connector and diagnostician, I conceptualised and implemented major change projects at home and abroad. <\/p>

An unforeseen life event, back then difficult to place, steered my life in a different direction: it would become the driving force of a long and intense search for understanding and becoming whole. I travelled a great deal, both for work and privately, and came into contact with Latin American dance. It became a passion. I participated in dance teams, and for a while taught dance classes at home and abroad. A new world opened to me: I explored other cultural values, was introduced to a robust social fabric, and new aspects of physical awareness of our life-energy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Health issues indicated that I was pursuing values that were not mine both professionally and privately, but I did not understand this at the time. I continued my search for healing and embarked on an inward trajectory with a classical vocal training as a soprano. Singing was good for me, just like my grandmother who sang in operettas and loved to play a Pavarotti cassette. I learned to find my breath control, explore vocal registers, fill a space with sound and vibration. It allowed me to do what I love again: creating connection with myself and others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
