Less pain, fewer limitations—a better quality of life.
Discover how you can reprogram your nervous system through targeted movement and stimulation, release blockages, and finally make the progress you want for yourself or your child.
The Path to New Lightness and Strength
Relieve pain where it originates—in your head.
Finally see the developmental milestones you hope for in your child.
Break free from constant stress and rediscover true energy and inner peace.
Overcome physical restrictions and regain your flexibility.
Personalized support tailored to your life, in Zurich or at your location.
I understand where you're coming from.
Often, everyday life feels like nothing more than “getting by,” while the true quality of life falls by the wayside. Maybe you’ve been there:
Your body is holding you back: pain is your constant companion, and every movement takes a lot of effort.
Concerns about your child: Their development has stalled, sensory challenges are making daily life difficult, and conventional approaches aren't helping.
You're lacking energy: You feel exhausted, your nervous system is under constant stress, and it can't seem to relax.
Training Plateau: You're training hard, but old injuries or neural blocks are preventing you from reaching the next level.
This doesn't have to be a permanent situation. Together, we'll break through the mental barriers that are holding you or your child back.

My Journey into Applied Neurology: The Franklin Method®, NeuroHorizons®/NeuroScanBalance® & Neuroathletics
Using the Franklin Method®, I learned to visualize anatomy and physiology through the power of imagination. This form of mental training had an enormous impact on my well-being and sparked my interest in the functional anatomy of the human body.
A supposed "coincidence" led me to the methods NeuroHorizons® and NeuroScanBalance®. Through these gentle, body-oriented approaches, I learned to refine my body awareness (proprioception) and to consciously perceive the quality of my movements. I experienced firsthand how my body reorganized itself: movements became more efficient because energy was no longer lost due to muscular imbalances but flowed directly into the movement, and my perspective on how I reacted to situations also changed.
The Neuroathleticsaccording to Lars Lienhard finally provided me with the scientific framework of applied neurology. I came to understand the central control unit: the brain. For the brain to enable optimal motor output (strength, mobility, and freedom from pain), it requires high-quality sensory input from our senses (visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems). This also influences how we perceive the world and how we react to it.
Today I understand that our bodies have all the tools they need to regenerate. My training programs have been so successful because they all have one thing in common: they speak the language of the brain.
About me
My name is Vanessa Keel. Sports and physical activity, including at the competitive level, have played a significant role in my life since I was a child.
A Turning Point: From Accident to Chronic Pain
In 2013, I suffered a severe concussion following a snowboarding accident, which set me back for several months. After my slow recovery, severe back pain began to dominate my daily life. Over the course of several years, I consulted various doctors and tried numerous therapies, without lasting success.
The Decision to Help Ourselves
In 2018, I was rushed to the hospital and stayed there for several days. Since my condition didn’t improve, I decided to be discharged after a candid doctor told me that she didn’t know what was causing my pain or how she could help me. Looking back, I’m grateful to her for her honesty.
Back home, I lay down on the floor, let the pain wash over me, and decided, “Okay, let’s embark on this journey together.” I took control of my own health.
A fascination with the human body and functional anatomy
I have always been fascinated by the wonder of our bodies and their capabilities. As a designer and developer, I admire the “creator” of our bodies: the complexity of our organism is fascinating—everything, down to the smallest detail, is thoughtfully designed. This fascination led me to embark on a journey of self-discovery, and so I began pursuing specialized training.
Overcoming obstacles together – Unlocking potential
Whether you’re an adult who wants to finally get through the day pain-free and full of energy again, or you’re hoping for real progress in your child’s development: I’ll guide you through the process of releasing physical and sensory blockages so that movement becomes effortless once more.
