Biography
Susanne Käser studied Visual Communication and Iconic Research and has worked for design agencies and as a freelance graphic designer.

Susanne Käser also trained as a complementary therapist using the Rolfing method and, thus, adds aspects of physicality, body awareness, and sensitization for dealing with stressful situations to her teaching.
