Ultimately, I'm here to gently guide you through your individual restorative and expansive process to facilitate growth, learning and healing in your life. Knowing ourselves and being able to decode our body's signs is one of the most crucial keys to tackle daily challenges, alleviate physical symptoms and live a self-determined, fulfilled life with greater clarity and insight.

My unique work's focus lies on infusing pole dance with therapeutic practices, letting it become a mirror and channel for inner motives and needs, limiting beliefs and your body's physical symptoms and illnesses. Complementary energy practices can help relieve stress, promote deep relaxation and accelerate your journey to self-actualisation.

"By manipulating the movement, embrodering and embellishing it, we find out more about it, nudging into the cracks, penetrating its core and seeing what indeed it is all about." - Lynn Anne Bloom

Hey, friend! My name is Maleiyka - I am a psychologist, pole dance instructor and all-things-energy enthusiast based in Berlin, Germany. I started pole when I was still studying psychology - and soon found my own little sanctuary in movement: pole for the soul, so to speak. While movement practices naturally offer therapeutic benefits, it's important to remember that regular classes are not a substitute for therapy.. Throughout my teaching journey, I've been increasingly captivated by the more explorative aspects of pole dancing: freestyle concepts, authentic expression and sensation-based movement (compared to an often somewhat performative focus). This eventually led me back to get training in dance movement therapy to be able to safely guide my students into deeper waters of their minds and souls. In my classes and sessions, I offer a trauma-informed space for every BODY as well as in-depth technical knowledge, making dance movement therapy explicitly accessible to the world of pole for the first time.
