My dance journey began when I was nine years old, when I started dancing ballroom and Latin American dances. Although I explored many different dance styles over the years, I always found myself returning to partner dancing. With time—and through a deep personal journey of self-discovery—I realized that sharing something so intimate with another person, in close physical contact through dance, made me feel seen and cared for in a way I hadn’t experienced anywhere else.

This realization came most clearly through tango. Tango did not allow me to escape into my familiar patterns of “performing” connection. In tango, things become real. You can’t fake it. You can’t pretend. The body tells its story long before the mind can control it. Even though my fear of contact and connection was present, I had no choice but to stay with it, share it, and allow it. In the embrace of my partners, I felt more real, more raw; the parts of myself I had tried to hide were finally seen—and accepted. 

Tango opened the door to myself, but I don’t believe I would have come this far without psychotherapy and deep work with the layers of my body, mind, and spirit.

I began teaching tango very early in my tango journey, supported by nearly ten years of prior experience teaching other dance styles. Through teaching, I noticed that tango was touching others in much the same way it had touched me. I realized I was not alone in this experience.

This sparked a deep curiosity: What exactly is happening here? How can I understand my students—and myself—better? How can I become a better teacher and dancer? In search of answers, I enrolled in a five-and-a-half-year training program to become an integrative, body-oriented psychotherapist. Becoming aware of the deep patterns held in my body inevitably made me a better dancer. New possibilities opened up physically, and emotionally the transformation was profound. Once I began to unpack my fears and wounds, an entirely new level of joy, presence, and shared experience became available to me through dance.

The kind of close contact shared in tango calls for courage, openness, surrender, letting go of control, and an opening of the heart. In most cases, to truly experience tango, it is not enough to train the body alone—we must also train our capacity for connection: building bridges between ourselves and others, and finding the balance between staying connected to ourselves while simultaneously being with another.

I consider all of this to be a set of crucial life skills. In today’s world, it feels more important than ever to find our way back to one another, to seek connection rather than isolation. Tango continuously teaches us exactly that.

Although I spent almost ten years teaching Argentine tango in a classical way, primarily as a social dance, tango and therapy gradually became deeply intertwined in my life. After some time, teaching tango solely as a social dance—without this deeper dimension—simply no longer worked for me.

In 2021, I founded Tango Garden in Zagreb, Croatia, with the intention of uniting my two passions and creating a space for people like me to receive something more from tango. In 2023, love brought me to Paris, and I am grateful to have been able to bring Tango Garden with me.

Beyond tango, I find immense joy in all forms of free and conscious movement. I am passionate about everything connected to the body and am a lifelong explorer of the mind–body–spirit connection—from meditation and yoga to breathwork and Feldenkrais.

In my work, I integrate all the knowledge and experience I have gathered over the years, with a particular focus on interaction and human relationships. Our deep, profoundly human longing for real, sincere connection is my constant source of inspiration. How to remain true to ourselves while being with another, and how to connect more deeply with ourselves through our relationships with others, remains an endless field of exploration—for me, both in dance and in life.

I combine tango, conscious movement, somatic practices, and psychotherapy knowledge. My service offers a holistic blend of body, mind, and emotional work that creates real, lasting transformation.

I create nurturing, experiential environments—workshops, sessions, and guided movement spaces—where people can explore themselves, release patterns, feel more alive, and reconnect with their inner wisdom.

I'm guiding you into deeper connection with yourself and others through presence, touch, attunement, and relational awareness. This sets my work apart—it’s not just movement, it’s relational healing.
