Kiteboarding entered the stage of my life in the summer of 2018 while living in Portugal. I started taking lessons and I had no idea how this sport would change my life and how big a part of it it would become! 

The stoke I am feeling on the water is hardly comparable with anything else, the endorphins mixed with the adrenaline, pure freedom - just me, my kite and board on the water, in nature, handling two elements at the same time - wind and water. 

In 2020 I left Portugal and traveled through Mexico and Costa Rica. I was looking for a place where I could kite and teach yoga combining my 2 passions. One year later I end up in Cabarete, the kiteboarding capital of the world, in the Dominican Republic to become an IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) certified instructor and I have been teaching many happy students since over 4 years now. 

I am putting my focus mainly on supporting and guiding women into this sport. We learn differently than men and in my experience it can help a lot to be taught by a woman :) 

I had my first lessons during summer 2018 in Portugal and got hooked for life!

From now on every holiday and trip is about chasing the wind and being able to kite  :)

back in Portugal July 2021 I decided to look for the next kite instructor course in the Spanish speaking tropics ..... wanting to say goodbye for good to wetsuits :D 

In September 2021 I took the instructor course with the IKO in Cabarete at Kitebeach (back then it was Kite Club Cabarete). This course was the actual reason I came to Cabarete! What a blessing as this unique spot on this planet became my new home and I'm so happy here nearly 4 years later having taught many students.
