About Me
Louie and me @ Puppy Love Therapy
Born in February 1967 in Lucerne, I have always loved being around animals and listening to music. From an early age, I occasionally saw or felt things that I could not explain.
This heightened sensitivity didn’t exactly facilitate making friends during my school years, so I often found myself playing alone, humming melodies that would suddenly come to mind. Our canary, guinea pigs, and the cat – whom I often greeted on my way to and from school – became my friends.
In secondary school, I finally became part of a group. The need to belong and the pressures of adolescence were so intense that the “other, sensitive world” almost completely faded from my life.

Entering the workforce and facing societal demands for conformity and performance pushed me even further away from my true needs – and from myself.
After years in IT, working in development, leadership, and consulting, a challenging period in my life guided me back to myself. My sensitivity was finally allowed to resurface and take its rightful place – along with my true self.
With passion, I teach, conduct seminars, and am profoundly grateful for the life I am allowed to live – helping people and animals find their way back to themselves, to walk their path, and occasionally to heal what needs to be healed.

About the Name Ki-Practice
In our modern digital age, many associate “Ki” with artificial intelligence (Künstliche Intelligenz in German). However, the name of my practice draws from a much deeper and more ancient understanding.
Ki (気) is the Japanese term for what the Chinese call Qi (氣) and Indians know as Prana – the universal life energy that flows through all living beings. This concept reaches back to humanity’s earliest civilizations, where in ancient Mesopotamia, “Ki” (𒆠) was the cuneiform symbol representing Earth itself – the primordial foundation of all existence.
The Japanese ideogram for Ki originally depicted “the energetic inner quality of man and the outer activity of demanding and reaching” – a directed energy that bridges the traditional divide between pure energy and physical structure. In daily Japanese language, Ki appears in hundreds of expressions relating to attention, emotions, and the vital force that animates our interactions with the world.
I chose the Japanese understanding of Ki over the Chinese Qi because of my deep connection with Japanese martial arts and their philosophy. Through years of training, I experienced firsthand how Ki represents not just vital energy, but the harmonious flow that connects individual consciousness with universal life force. As the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, taught: the secret is to harmonize one’s movement with the universe – to understand that “I am one with the universe.”
Ki-Practice embodies this ancient wisdom – facilitating the flow of life energy for healing, balance, and the return to one’s authentic self. It is about being present in its deepest sense: expanding to embrace the all, connecting inner awareness with outer reality.
