Underwater artistry
Underwater movement is so hypnotic, the perfect fit if you want to amaze your audience with something unique. For almost four years, I have offered underwater modeling shoots, workshops and acts. And to be honest: it’s my favorite form of movement art! Not only because I have a special affinity with ocean conservation, but because I feel absolute freedom peace of mind when I’m in the water.
In 2023 I got my PADI Advanced Mermaid certification, after doing a challenging open water exam and learning everything there is to know about ocean and freediving safety.
Underwater fashion model
Bored of all those standard images? I’ve got something for you!
Striking a pose underwater is challenging and very physically demanding, just watch the new Netflix docu-series "MerPeople" for an insider look into this new artform and community. After years of training I safely say I create extraordinary underwater results, often thanks to my own handmade underwater costumes.

Underwater dance
Movement art is the red threat throughout my work and life and it takes on new shape and form underwater. Most of us know how to swim efficiently, but have you ever watched our instinctive, dare I say, frog-like movement in water? It takes time and reflection to learn graceful movements under water, to maintain a relaxed an comfortable attitude whilst holding your breath. Being nearly blind and deaf in water, diving up and down, controlling your gown or costume, sometimes in very low temperatures... Underwater dance and modeling is not easy, to say the least. But I have always eager for a challenge, and willing to go above and beyond for mesmerizing results!
