About MFL’s Facilitators

The universe operates with motions and transformations. We are beings of motion; when we move our bodies, we allow for a deeper connection to arise, becoming more energy and less matter. Our frequencies change with conscious dance practice and I have witnessed this phenomenon within me, and within the people I have taught. Let’s choose movement over inertia.

Laura Penn
Guest Teacher in MFL Mentorship
My journey into Movement for Life began in 2020. It was a pivotal year for the world in so many different ways… For me, it was a time of taking stock, igniting change, and welcoming transformation. My introduction to MFL through the facilitator training program, couldn’t have come at a better time. My body was aching for release.
As the course progressed, I began to change on a cellular level. Something woke up, shifted, and expanded. My inner dancer, buried for over 25 years under the debris of contracted muscles, limited thinking and reckless neglect, came back to life. This rebirth fueled enormous creativity and dynamic energy in all aspects of my life. My career, my relationships and everything I touched, were ignited with new vigor. I became a better version of myself.
Today, I am humbled and deeply honored to have been given the privilege of being a Guest Teacher for this year’s cohort of MFL facilitator trainees. I teach this outstanding group how to embody their presence and power. I support them to deepen their learning so that they too can transform on a cellular level and emerge as their authentic selves…wise, liberated and soaring.


Tara Sinniger
MFL Facilitator & Team Member
I have been working with Gisela and MFL since 2019 – in workshops, retreats, 1:1 training and then graduated as a Movement Facilitator myself in 2021. I am part of the team ever since and I love to be of service on this beautiful journey. Dancing has been a fundamental part of who I am ever since I was a little girl. In the last five years, I discovered the beauty of movement therapy and want to help bring its healing powers and magic to people around the world. I want to create a safe space where one can express oneself freely by immersing fully into music, exchanging ideas, being vulnerable, healing traumas, releasing stuck emotions, and discovering new sides to oneself. My goal is to empower people with my empathy and to (re)connect them to themselves, to their bodies, and to life.


Daisy Yesenia
MFL Facilitator & Gisela’s Personal Assistant
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.

Leonie Trippel
MFL Facilitator
Movement for Life Facilitator
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.

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.

Ludimila Nunes
MFL Facilitator
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.
