With a background in mechanical engineering and the military, I aim to contribute this expertise where relevant. I enjoy dissecting, questioning and challenging established technical approaches; not to distrust the work of our colleagues, but to follow scientific principles to deepen our understanding of body suspension and create approaches based on facts so that they can be passed on and improved.
Whether you’re new to suspension or highly experienced, I’d love to have you in my classes. Your questions, perspectives, input and feedback are very much appreciated help shape this ongoing project that the classes are a driving part of, and which I aim to use as the basis for a masters thesis in mechanical engineering.
I’ve been involved with bodysuspension since 2020, after a while being trained and mentored by Beto Rea and while traveling being taught valuable lessons by many facilitators and teams along the way. Apart from that I’ve focussed on education such as Emergency Medical Technician, Psychological First Aid and in climbing/rigging ropetechniques to gather more knowledge applicable to bodysuspension.
I facilitate independently in my private studio in Antwerp (Belgium), where I aim to create a space where soon traveling bodymod artists will be able to stay and work (or just visit!). Aside from that, a lot of my focus goes to creating performances incorporating bodysuspension/piercing (both theatre and performance art).
Never hesitate to come say hi! I’m always excited to meet new people and open to learning together.
PS: If you’d like to submit questions or input for the classes, don’t hesitate to reach out to me for the digital form through my insta.
