With all of the social changes we are experiencing, the demographic aging today and tomorrow face particular challenges. I am committed to helping people 50 years of age and over to reach their full potential to:

• discover their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual resources
• invest their capacities according to their beliefs and values
• contribute to a Genuine Contact way of elderly people.

Professional activities spanning 40 years in the German and French-speaking parts of Switzerland in four different fields: human development, special education, social education and gerontology.

Current activities:

I invite individuals and groups to contribute to the surroundings of their life in a Genuine Contact way of elderly people based on the Genuine ContactTM approach. Individually or in a group we lead by our very own liveliness, learn from each other and design a self-reliant life, taking personal responsibility for what we care about.
