Growing up on a farm in Germany, I have embraced an active lifestyle and a deep connection with nature from an early age. Sport has always been a constant, shaping a practical and grounded approach to training and wellbeing.

As a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt and lifelong athlete, with experience in handball, swimming, and — since recently — freediving, long-term consistency and mental focus have become central values. Jiu Jitsu, in particular, highlights how problem-solving under pressure and smart recovery are essential for sustainable progress.

With an academic background in physics and sports science, including psychology and stress management, I like to approach training from an evidence-based and multi-layered perspective. Progress comes not from pushing nonstop, but from structuring effort, recovery, and environment in a way that supports both performance and health.

Alongside this, my experience in event organisation within the tourism industry has built a strong foundation for creating smooth, well-run experiences. Through New Horizons, I combine my love for travel, nature, BJJ, and connection in the organisation of carefully curated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu camps.

Each camp is designed around high-quality instruction from experienced coaches, well-chosen locations, and enough space to train hard, recover properly, and enjoy the surroundings. The goal is simple: to create an environment where practitioners improve their Jiu Jitsu, connect with the community, explore beyond the mats, and return home energised, clear-minded, and carrying new perspectives on and off the mats.
