WithCANTIENICA® trainingtowards freedom from pain, good posture and lightness
When my body demanded new ways
Sport, exercise, flow – basketball, cycling, dance. These constants have been a part of my life until cartilage damage in my foot presented my body with unforeseen challenges. Thanks to CANTIENICA® training, I have found a way to ‘wrap’ my foot in muscle support and relieve the pressure on it, so that I am now almost always pain-free and face no limitations in my daily life. Even the neck and lower back pain that used to be my constant companions has disappeared. What fascinates is how the precise focus on the workings and components of my body results in an unexpectedly clear, uncluttered and open mind.
The CANTIENICA® method and I "clicked" straight away during a postnatal class after childbirth. I’m absolutely delighted to now be able to pass on the tools that the CANTIENICA® method offers and a touch of magic as a reward for regular training. Teaching brings together so many of the things that have brought me the greatest fulfillment in my career so far: working closely with and on people, with their stories and unique qualities. Whether as a city historian, in adult education as an innovation trainer, or currently as an urban developer designing a wide variety of participatory formats.
I successfully completed the Bronze Certification Level 1 (focus on the pelvic floor) in May 2025 in Zurich with Bettina Kubli and Andrea Tittes, as well as the Silver Certification Level 2 (focus on the back and spine) in Karlsruhe with Benita Cantieni and Karin Altpeter-Weiß in February 2026. In addition, I completed further training in anatomy with Dr. Anke Sedlmaier, as well as courses on pregnancy and postnatal recovery with Karin Altpeter-Weiß.

CANTIE… what did you say?!
The CANTIENICA® training method – body in Evolution – was and continues to be developed by Benita Cantieni in Switzerland – Swiss precision for your body! It empowers you to take control of physical challenges or prevent them from arising in the first place. The focus is on the deep muscles, and in particular the pelvic floor as the ‘control centre’ for the muscles of the whole body. You will learn and practice the tools to better sense your own body, listen to it, and soon – almost as if by magic – do what is good for your body. The reward: the best body awareness of your life, freedom from pain or pain reduction, and an inner sense of alignment. The ultimate method for ageing healthily – with a wonderful touch of lightness.
