I got obsessed with Yoga

At the age of 18 I got obsessed with Yoga and spent 8 months in Rishikesh, India intensively studying Yoga & Meditation and living in a traditional ashram. Experiencing daily yoga and mediation for several months completely changed my perception of the human body and its potential to autoregulate and heal. Shortly after I became a certified Yoga teacher (at the Sivananda Vedanta Center ) and have been teaching Yoga ever since. Fascinated by human health and behaviour I returned to Switzerland and completed my diploma in Clinical Psychology at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.

I moved to Guatemala

At the age of 22 I took a gap year, and moved to Guatemala, where I learnt spanish, opened up a theatre school and shared with the local community my passion for theater: teaching kids and adults improvisation and stage presence skills.

In a tiny village by a lake surrounded by volcanoes  (Panajachel) I discovered my passion for Go Gu Ryu Karate and spent a year intensely training 4 times a week. 

My teacher, Kimo Senei, showed us traditional Okinawan karate techniques which focused on boosting the body’s strength, resilience and immune system through specific breathing techniques. Never before had I felt so powerful and peaceful at the same time.  

I studied Thai Massage

Thirsty to learn more about healing I started a Thai Massage Course which my karate teacher also offered and ironically in the first class I got injured and subluxed my knee. 

After several weeks of  intense pain, walking with crutches, and not seeing any progress in my knee I took my local friend’s advice and travelled to see a famous traditional aztec healer. Using different pressure points this healer worked on my knee for 20 mins… although it was excruciatingly painful, I left the session with 90% less pain and not needing my crutches anymore. I was so amazed by this experience. That’s when I realised that I wanted to learn how to remove pain from the body and help people become healthy and pain free again. 

I returned to Switzerland

So I returned to Switzerland and started studying traditional osteopathy in my mother’s  Swiss International College of Osteopathy (SICO). During my 5 years of Osteopathic training I worked with my mother in her Osteopathic Paediatric Clinic in Zurich.

These were exciting and challenging times: it allowed me to acquire extensive clinical experience working with difficult cases from elderly patients to newborns and children with serious health conditions. 

Following my passion for Capoeira I moved to Brazil.

 In 2008, after 6 years of working in the Osteopathic clinic in Zurich my passion for Capoeira (a Brazilian martial art) made me move to Brazil for a year, Praia de Pipa. Alongside my intense capoeira training I started working in a Health Clinic offering Osteopathy to the local community and international patients. I was given the beautiful and demanding opportunity to do volunteer work in a social project where I offered treatments to children who were physically and mentally challenged. Working with these children with special needs gave me a deeper understanding of how the nervous system and brain can be stimulated to restore health function and well being.

In 2009 I worked in one of the Asia's Oldest Detox Centres in Koh Samui, Thailand

In 2009 I was invited to work in one of Asia's Oldest Detox Centers in Koh Samui, Thailand for 1 year, treating chronic pain patients from all over the world. I was accompanying patients through the most innovative detox & fasting methods and learning so much about how neurological pain is managed in the body. In this Detox Clinic I worked closely with internationally renowned health professionals and health specialists. From this experience I started getting invited to work in Health Clinics in different parts of the world.​

Between 2009 - 2012 I travelled treating chronic pain patients in Health Clinics all over the world. This was an incredible experience and opportunity where I learnt so much about the human's potential for health and the human's potential for illness and pain.

By the end of 2012 I started certifying health professionals in the Bartu-NSR Method 

in different clinics, institutes and colleges in different parts of the world.

I created different courses teaching specific protocols of how to reprogram the brain to remove old patterns of pain & tension in every part of the body. The certification includes teaching dynamic exercises such as the "Bartu-NSR Immune & Hormone Boosting Series", which improves the function of your lymph system, increases your immune defense, balances out your hormones,  rejuvenates your cells, skin, muscles and produces a high concentration of happy healthy hormones in the shortest amount of time. 

In 2014 I got passionate about dancing salsa and moved to Colombia, Cali for a year.  As well as taking many private dancing classes I had the opportunity to work and teach in one of the most renowned clinics in the country: The Biological Medical Clinic, Cali and was offering Bartu-NSR Certifications to doctors and therapists from different clinics. 

In this famous clinic I was invited to work with the Colombian National football players in their preparatory phase to the football World Cup, in Brazil 2014. I treated the players and put them on specific exercises programs that allowed them to activate the oldest neurological muscles chains in their bodies and boost their hormonal systems. The results were immediate and very rewarding to witness. They were able to recover from injuries faster and increase their resilience, agility and performance on the field. 

In Columbia I also had the opportunity to collaborate with an NGO and teach orphan children self health empowerment workshops. This was a truly rewarding experience!

In 2015 I moved to Canada, Montreal? Why ? Because along my travels I met so many amazingly warm hearted French Canadians that I really wanted to experience life in Montreal. And I fell in love with the traditional Angolan couple dance called Kizomba - which I knew had a vibrant scene in Montreal. :) 

Apart from learning new dance moves I was very fortunate that I met the right people in Montreal and was given the unique opportunity to work with professional dancers and performers from "Cirque du Soleil". 

I discovered that despite having extremely strong and flexible bodies some of these world class acrobats were also suffering from the exact same pains and limitations as other non athletic patients of mine. This is where I developed effective techniques to reprogram the neurofascia network using the direct connection between the brain and myofascial system and the unconscious permanent muscles contractions in the body. ​

Witnessing the immediate results I got from using these new techniques with these top performing acrobats I knew I had to invest my energy in teaching this pain release method to other health professionals.

So in 2016 I moved back to Europe and had a base in Barcelona (one of my favorite cities ever) as well Zurich. I spend the next few years travelling across Europe offering Certifications to health professionals in postgraduate institutes for Physiotherapists & Osteopaths in Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. 

In 2017 I patented the “Bartu-NSR Self Pain Release Protocols”

which I then started to teach in the corporate world to leading CEOs as well as in international yoga festivals around Europe. 

In 2018 I realised that if I kept on travelling nonstop I would have my second burn out. So I started investing time and money to convert all my techniques, protocols and clinical experience into online educational self pain release courses and certifications for health practitioners. 

Although it stings my ego and my pride to admit it, I have clearly followed in their footsteps. :) I grew up in Singapore seeing my father take the plane every 2-3 weeks to attend press conferences all over Asia. And I witnessed my mother treat chronically ill patients and give conferences internationally. My life journey is the confirmation that we are the result of our environment and our upbringing. 

Today I realise that thanks to the intense injuries and acute pain I experienced in the past I was able to self experiment and discover healing techniques which has allowed me to help so many people become pain free and live a happier, more fulfilling life. 

I believe it’s everybody’s birthright to have the knowledge and tools to be pain free and live the highest version of themselves. And that’s why since 2019 I have invested all my energy in creating online courses allowing me to help people all over the world become pain free and learn my method (without having to burn myself out travelling non stop).
