Where Science Meets Soulful Care.
An integrative space for movement, health and restoration — created for humans who want more than quick fixes.
Where Your Health Story Finally Makes Sense
We believe health is not an intervention — it’s a relationship.
With your body.
Your biology.
Your nervous system.
Your life.
Our work is grounded in evidence-based practice, but guided by a deeply human approach.
We look beyond symptoms. Beyond isolated goals. Beyond the idea of “gym” or “treatment.”
At the healthloft, your movement, your recovery, your physiology and your mental world are understood together — so change can truly last.
Our Philosophy
Our Promise
To meet you with honesty.
To support you with science.
To guide you with clarity.
And to help you build a life — and a body — that feels truly yours.
Why did i create the healthloft?
I founded the healthloft because I saw how many people were training, healing, or navigating health alone — overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles that didn’t serve them.
I wanted to build a space where movement meets physiology, where training meets nervous-system balance, where pain meets understanding, and where health is approached with both precision and compassion.
A space where high performers, beginners, individuals with chronic conditions, and anyone seeking deeper wellbeing can be truly seen — and supported from every angle.
The founding story
Physiotherapy alone was no longer enough.
The more I learned, the more I saw clients with complex stories — chronic fatigue, inflammation, mood challenges, persistent pain — symptoms that cannot be solved in isolated systems. Traditional care was too fragmented. My clients needed an approach that understood the full human experience.
This led me to the Master’s program in Clinical Psycho-Neuro-Immunology at the University of Salamanca. It offered the missing framework — the integration of nervous system, immune system, metabolism, environment, and movement.
And with it, the vision for a new kind of studio became clear.
A space where people are understood, not managed.
Where symptoms aren’t chased — but connected.
Where movement, health, and mindset work together.
Growing up in Sutz, I discovered my fascination for health, movement, and medicine early — long before I understood it would become my life’s work. While competing as a high-performance athlete, I studied physiotherapy in Basel, where my devotion to human biology deepened into purpose.
After my Bachelor’s degree and my training as a sports physiotherapist in Magglingen, I continued to expand my expertise while pursuing elite curling. Those years brought three World Championship titles, European medals, and an Olympic fourth place — all supported by countless hours on the ice and in the gym.
In 2019, I became self-employed to create the flexibility I needed as an athlete and a therapist. But over time, one truth became impossible to ignore:
This is how the healthloft came to life.
A boutique environment where healing is precise, human, and holistic.
Where we explore what your body truly needs — from nourishment and timing to movement and recovery — so change becomes sustainable, not temporary.
To feeling whole again. To living with clarity. To a healthy, self-directed life.
Clinical, Integrative, Human
With expertise spanning physiotherapy, clinical psycho-neuro-immunology, movement science, longevity, and nervous-system health, the healthloft brings together methods that are rarely offered under one roof — especially in such a boutique, personalised form.
This is not a machine gym.
Not a symptom-focused clinic.
Not a performance-first studio.
It is a considered environment where each method supports the next — and where your full health story is understood.
Why we are different.
