My journey into early childhood development began in 2009 after my career in the pharmaceutical sector, when I was searching for therapy for my younger son. That search led me to the First-Step Method, a holistic approach that had a transformative impact on our family. Thanks to this method, my son was able to thrive and grow up as a happy, confident child. The experience was so powerful that I decided to train in this approach and share its benefits with other families—both those with typically developing children and those with special needs
I became a certified Early Childhood Development Consultant and, since 2012, I’ve been offering workshops and private sessions in Zurich in English, German, and Italian. For many years, I represented the First-Step therapy in Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, helping families access this meaningful and effective approach.
Today, I continue my work independently, drawing from over a decade of experience and integrating new therapeutic methods that enrich my practice.
My focus is on prevention, empowerment, and building parent confidence. I work with a hands-on approach that gives families practical tools they can use right away to support their child’s development.
In addition to working with healthy children, I have supported children with special needs. I am also a committee member of AEMO, an association dedicated to supporting children with rare diseases and their families. This work is deeply meaningful to me and reinforces my commitment to inclusive, compassionate care for all children.
I have trained in the PäPKI therapeutic approach, which focuses on early motor development, and I am a certified PEKiP® (Prager Eltern Kind Programm) group leader. This program supports your baby’s development through movement, exploration, and connection, while nurturing the parent-child bond in a supportive group setting.
At the heart of my work is a deep respect for each child’s unique path and each parent’s journey. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where families feel empowered, informed, and supported.
I look forward to meeting you and your little one.
First-Step workshops are designed for the development of babies from birth until they can walk independently. The instructor introduces practical tools to help parents soothe more easily their babies and support the sensory and motor development of their little ones.
The PäPKi® development and learning therapy come into play at this point: gaps are diagnosed and explained to the parents to understand the relationships between physical immaturity and developmental abnormalities.
PEKiP® has been a cornerstone of early childhood development in German-speaking Europe for over four decades. This program provides parents with playful and engaging activities to support their baby's growth throughout the first year of life. Designed with parents in mind, PEKiP® is adaptable and easily incorporated into daily routines, offering a seamless blend of learning and bonding.
