“Music is my island”

I am happy to pass on my contagious enthusiasm for music from a wide variety of cultures – especially handpan + tongue drum improvisation – to interested people of all ages. My particular passion belongs to team building projects, such as DrumCircles + also SoundJourneys for stress reduction and relaxation.

With my special life experience as a relative, who provided intensive care and ultimately palliative care for my eldest son Matthias, who has been severely disabled since birth, I see a focus in “lived inclusion” – not only theoretically, but very practically + realistically! Experiences from my work in the speech therapy Kindergarten at the “St. Lukasheim” in Papenburg also benefit me here.

When words are missing …

Individual offers for hospice associations + palliative stations
Sensitive musical accompaniment in the last hours – also in retirement homes
