Description

Good day, thank you for taking the time to read my story. My name is Simon Claes. I was born in Belgium but currently living in Switzerland until January 2025. Physiotherapist by profession, compassion in the heart, energy from the muscles, mindfull in the brain. You can take that as a very short description of myself or values I hold close to my heart. 2.5 years ago, I embarked on an adventure abroad. I swapped my life in Belgium for a solo experience in Bern, Switzerland. After a wonderful time here, where I learned a lot about myself, life, spirituality, friendship, love, the German language, connections and much more; I know it's time for a change. I found something in myself in Switzerland that I didn't know I was looking for. I want to explore that further, in myself but also in other parts of this beautiful world.

More details about your skills

I work as a physiotherapist where I mainly focus on an active approach to injuries or pain. I am very sporty myself and I love to convey this passion to my patients. In my daily life, I try to read a lot and listen to podcasts regularly. These are mostly about mental health, personal development and spirituality. Furthermore, I very much enjoy cooking and have a goal of opening my own coffee bar. I also practice yoga and meditation. Along with mindfull breathing, these are two aspects that have incredibly influenced myself. The power of breathing is unseen and we as humans, including myself, can still learn a lot in this regard. I practice various sports such as running, football, padel, surf skating, cycling, ... I also have a few special skills. Such as: when I go hiking with friends, I am the one who takes a mini grill to the top of the mountain to make a delicious cup of tea or coffee with the coffee pot that I also take with me. Or, if I come across a bike on the street whose lights are still on I will always turn them off. And I like to wear funny socks and sing loudly with songs I love.

What else ...

I love to do deep listening to lyrics of songs. Music is so beautiful and the lyrics are just poetry.
Deep conversations and about all kinds of things, I love. There is nothing better than putting your mobile phone away, taking a walk in the woods and just talking to each other. I also love drawing and would love to learn to play guitar.
