About MFL’s Facilitators

I completed the Teacher Training from Movement For Life in July 2021.
I’m a Movement Facilitator and currently MFL 1 year Mentorship assistant.
I love Movement for life because it gave my power and self-confidence back. I used to have so much insecurities, fear, self-sabotage and now I’m clear and aware of my mission and genius.
When I move my body with awareness and intention, I feel connected with the most accepting powerful loving self. I discover that the lover archetype is one of my secret strengths. As a child I already loved to dance, and now I have the blessing to share my healing passion to help others. One of my favourite subjects is inspiring people to connect with themselves, allowing emotional intelligence and the ability to express. Movement For Life is not just a regular dance therapy it’s a way of living.

My name is Marjan Janssens, Dutch from origin. I am one of Gisela’s students since 2020 and graduated as a Movement facilitator in June. I love what we can achieve through Movement for body, mind and soul. It heals people, and it heals me and I love that I can now contribute to betterment of the world as one of the facilitators.

Movement for Life Facilitator, expert on the field of Dance, sports personal development and Movement.
Alja finished the Modern Dance School in Ljubljana – Slovenia in 2008. Her path continued to the Faculty of Sports where she finished her Masters degree on Movement therapy with disabled children. This propelled her to teach young children how to move and be the best versions of themselves in a Private Kindergarten until 2016. In 2016 she moved to Switzerland to pursue her dream. In the years of 2018-2019 she met Gisela Rocha and assisted her within The Mahima Mindset Breakthrough Weekends, on Movement therapy, holding space for Personal growth Workshops and development. She discovered that there is more in her and continued with the Teacher Training under Gisela Rocha mentorship program. She completed the Certification for Movement for Life 1 year training. She is now a certified Movement for Life Facilitator. Her expertise is very valued and she teaches Movement in Personal Growth Companies like The Mahima Mindset and supports MFL with Gisela Rocha. ‘’I always loved dancing; I was born with it. Now, dance represents something deeper and more profound to me. The connection to soul, body, spirit, movement. The Personal Development journey gave me purpose WHY I dance, WHY I move, WHY I LIVE. The feeling of knowing yourself and trusting yourself in what you are best at, is priceless. Embody love, joy, happiness, abundance and more and join me, in my Movement classes. See you on the other, moving side.’’

Leonie’s journey with Movement for Life (MFL) began in late 2020, initially through personal coaching sessions with the renowned Gisela. This foundation set the stage for her subsequent facilitator training, culminating in an advanced level certification in 2023.
Under Gisela’s guidance and with MFL’s invaluable support, she transitioned from a mindset-oriented approach to a more embodied understanding of the world. She learned to leverage the innate power of the body as a daily instrument for achieving peace, empowerment, and luminosity. Today, it is her mission to share these transformative insights and to help others connect deeply with their own bodies – a journey that extends from the breathtaking vistas of the Swiss Alpine region to the far reaches of the globe. She is passionate about helping others overcome their personal limitations and truly owning their voice.
She is profoundly grateful, humbled, and privileged to be living and sharing this ongoing journey of personal growth as an MFL facilitator. Every day brings a new opportunity for self-discovery and empowerment, and it’s an honor to guide others on their own transformative journeys.

Dancer, performer, choreographer, poet, intuitive, lyrical, musical, and shamanic, I ritualize the processes of healing and creation through artistic languages.  I investigate the somatic, the ancestry, the archetypes, and the visceral to recognize and actualize what I am and what I become. The predominant elements in my Energetic Body-mind are Air, Fire, and Ether with a compassionate presence and receptive to the soul. Co-create the personal mythology that emerges magically and materializes in expressiveness, and performance acts. Certified in Pilates, Gyrokinesis, and Gyrotonic. Graduated in Dance and Post Graduated in Integrative Art, I wrote about Jung’s universe and Gyrokinesis. Facilitator of Movement For Life Brazil.

I’m a life enthusiast and dancing is one of the ways I express that in the world. I’ve been dancing since I was 5 years old and I’ve been building a trajectory of love and care for myself and my work crossed by this art. I am a Gestalt therapist and a professor of psychology. I am also a holistic therapist with Shamanic Reiki, Theta Healing and Magnified Healing. I perform individual assistance and group experiences with young people and adults for self-knowledge and self-transformation. Moving is creating connections between people, between us and nature, and between unknown places in ourselves.
