For thirty years, I have been a therapist, touching skin--massaging it, deep cleaning it, and making it glow. I’ve been listening, intently, about how you care for your skin—or how sometimes, because of stress or exhaustion, you don’t.
As a global trainer of professional spa therapists for over 20 years, I hear colleagues around the world say the same thing,
“Our customers are overwhelmed and stressed, and it’s showing in their skin”.
The fascinating connection between mind, body and skin inspired me to become a nutrition and sleep/stress-resiliency coach, going deeper into the daily habits that allow us to recover our strength and energy and look our best at any age. This passion for helping people to develop resiliency forms the basis for the Resiliu platform.

The first 12 years of my professional life were spent in the cosmetics industry, working with various international brands. During that time, I was responsible for the idea, concept, and development of the brand “I am” for Migros – a brand that has since become a household name throughout Switzerland.
Afterward, I was drawn to the watch and jewelry industry. As a CEO, I led companies and developed new brands, successfully establishing them on the market.
But my career wasn’t a straight upward path. There were setbacks along the way – including losing my job. Setbacks like these come with a great deal of stress, and that stress often shows up physically—especially in the body and skin.
In such times, resilience is key - and that starts with learning how to build it.
In addition to exercise and meditation, continuing education was a major source of support for me. That’s why I’m now grateful to contribute my knowledge to Resiliu as a certified values-based, systemic health and resilience coach.

How did we get the name?
Resiliu means “a resilient you”— for your mind, your body, your skin.
We may think resilience means our ability to always keep going. To take a punch. And maybe give one back. Or to just let stress roll off our backs like rainwater on a car hood that has just been waxed.
The Resiliu version of resilience is a bit different. Yes, our resilience is about building strength—even starting on the outside with something as simple as building a strong skin barrier (our specialty!). But at Resiliu it’s also finding inspiration in naturally opposing forces like yin and yang. We find these opposites in every decision we make—like when to favor sleep and when to push through and move. When to focus on self-care and when to drop the self, reach out and help others.
The key may be this: It’s not choosing one or the other but finding balance in the choice to embrace it all. Instead of an either-or mindset, it can be both-and. For example, at Resiliu, we’re all about the nap and the workout. When it comes to skin, we believe it needs both radiance and resilience. This means knowing how much exfoliation you need (radiance) vs. how much barrier-building (resilience).
At Resiliu, it is our goal to be a resource for building resilience—for your mind, your body and your skin, and to build a community of like-minded people who want to share, ask, report and participate.
Welcome, one and all.
