About me

Journey to Becoming an Athletic Specialist

At the peak of my athletic career, I suffered a severe injury, breaking a lumbar vertebra and becoming paralyzed from the knees down.

During my rehabilitation, I was first introduced to my pelvic floor muscles. This began a journey of self-discovery and the development of body awareness. Despite doctors telling me I would never run or jump again, I returned to my Sports Science program at the University of Innsbruck in Austria.

To my surprise, I quickly realized that even after my injury with a couple of titanium screws in my lower back and the loss of an intervertebral disc, I was able to perform better than ever. I gained more body awareness and core stability by mastering control over my core and consciously engaging more muscles. This positively impacted my swimming, gymnastics, track and field, and other athletics, as well as my overall performance, balance, and mobility. It helped me free myself from my stiff protective posture. Despite the limitations, I was more capable than ever before and could protect my spine from impact.

Bridging Science and Practice – 3C Performance

Physical therapists told me what to do, and each one of them had a different opinion. I realized I had to take my inner voice more seriously and learn to listen to what my body needed to recover.

Through this journey, I discovered the importance of the pelvic floor muscles, core stability, and more, which allowed me to exceed my previous athletic abilities.

This experience drives my passion to help others connect with their core, enhance their performance, and achieve their athletic dreams – based on science, my own practical experience, and more than ten years of coaching experience.

I dedicated myself to the scientific study of pelvic floor muscle training. During my studies I conducted extensive research in the field. For my Bachelor’s thesis I focused on pelvic floor training and biofeedback. My Master’s thesis explored athletes and online pelvic floor training, specifically addressing lower back pain, incontinence, and performance.

3C EXPRESSION – from the heart

For much of my life, I felt blocked when it came to dancing – held back by a childhood trauma that felt unbearable. Yet, through the journey of recovery after this accident, I found the clarity and courage to break through those barriers. I promised myself I would let go of that fear because I had come so close to ending up in a wheelchair and was beyond grateful for my second chance.

You only live once, and you have just this one vessel. With that realization, I set out on this journey. I finally fulfilled my dream and began traveling the Caribbean, learning local dance styles from the source. I especially fell in love with Jamaican Dancehall and Soca „Soul Of Calypso“ from Trinidad and Tobago. It’s uplifting music with an anti-depressive effect! A natural boost of feel-good hormones. The dance style uses pelvic and spinal isolations, which beautifully complement deep core training, creating a powerful synergy between movement and emotion.

Now, dancing not only makes me feel free — I can use it as a tool to let go of deep-seated tension from my body’s center and move unapologetically as myself. All this helped me to gain a deep understanding of the process of releasing fear and removing blockades to self-expression on both physical and emotional levels. We need connection – to our body, especially to our center,  to music, to each other… and more. This experience has shown me exactly what it takes to guide others in reconnecting with their unique rhythm and power.
