Hello,

if you are reading these lines, it means that—one way or another—your life is intertwined with that of a dog, and for me that is already an important point of connection.

I live in the world of dogs with deep passion, and today my work is what I like to define as relational alchemy: helping humans and dogs truly meet through listening, understanding, and authentic presence.

I have a natural attraction to dogs considered “difficult". Over time, I have learned that almost always, behind a complex behaviour there is not a problem to fix, but a need asking to be seen. That is precisely where transformation begins.

As a dog educator and behavioural rehabilitation specialist, I continue to train and gain hands-on experience. Volunteering in shelters, in Switzerland and abroad, has taught me a great deal—but one stage radically changed my perspective: in Dahab, Egypt, I collaborated with a local association that cares for free-roaming dogs and manages a valley as a sanctuary, where I studied and observed free packs in their natural environment. Living alongside dogs in their essence made my approach even more respectful, intuitive, and aware.

I deeply believe that every relationship between a dog and a human holds great evolutionary potential. When we learn to communicate with mutual respect, it is not only the dog who grows—we grow as well.

If you feel that the time has come to better understand your dog—and perhaps discover something more about yourself through this relationship—I will be happy to accompany you on this journey.

See you soon,

Mika
