What if movement was more than exercise?

The Sensing Self is my life's work. It's a place of movement education and exploration, and a community of warm, curious people in Rotterdam. Learning and exchange happens through structured group classes, private journeys, and collaborative workshops.

My own fascination with exploring movement consciously and consistently began through dance when I was six years old. Since then, I have immersed myself in many styles of dance, along with the cultures and societies from which they emerged. Although dance shaped my life, I never felt like “just a dancer.”

I was equally drawn to climbing with a sense of adventure, moving through the environment with the freedom of a parkour runner and the agility of a ninja, and learning ethics and philosophy through Eastern martial arts. These images first lived as childhood dreams, but led me into various physical disciplines and still guide my practice today.

Four years ago, I discovered movement practice and shortly after the Movimentica system of Marcello Palozzo. It resonated with me because it is broad yet deep, clear and accessible, while remaining creative and exploratory. It is a practice that nourishes different dimensions of human experience and stays rigorous without becoming rigid. Through it, I found a community and teachers who have supported my growth both as a movement practitioner and as a person.

The work I share through The Sensing Self is rooted in the Movimentica system and enriched by my years of practice, learning, and teaching. It is a unified, embodied approach to movement that supports learning, skill development, and personal growth.
