About Fabi

Holá, I am Fabi.

As a child, my favorite question was always, “…why!?” – which drove my mom a little crazy. But I couldn’t help it – I was endlessly curious, full of energy and constantly trying to figure out how the world worked.

Now, as an adult, I have to admit… nothing has changed :D My curiosity led me to study the human mind, how we connect and how communication, community and play shape our lives.

But learning was never just about thinking – it was about feeling, experiencing and embodying it.

movement

became a central

part of my work

Whether through intuitive movement, authentic relating, journaling or creative exploration, I’ve found that real transformation happens when we stop just understanding things in our heads and start feeling them in our bodies.

I’ve never been one to settle on just one path – and honestly, I don’t think I ever will. There’s simply too much to explore, too much to learn and too many ways to grow. I believe in lifelong learning, in moving with life rather than against it and in embracing all the possibilities it has to offer.

I believe …

  • … in asking life’s deep questions, even when the answers aren’t clear or easy to hear.

  • … that movement is the most effective medicine & “dance it out” is actually proven to help you mental health (how amazing is that!?)

  • … that we find our truest selves through community — the people around us act as mirrors, reflecting who we are and challenging us to become a better version of ourselves.

  • … that there is no one way to live life. We each live in our own unique reality and sharing perspectives enriches us all.

  • … in self-expression, exploration, creativity and the limitless potential of becoming.

My story

Fabienne Schlegel Video

When I was a teenager I fell in love… and then flat on my face.

No one told me how easy it is to lose myself in a relationship – how, little by little, I’d start bending, shrinking and forgetting the very things that make me me.

And honestly, even IF someone had warned me, I probably wouldn’t have listened. After all, I was confident, independent, sure of myself… until I wasn’t.

At some point, I realized I had built a cage around myself – one I needed to break free from. And once I did, I started the lifelong journey of coming back to myself. Of reclaiming my voice, my body and my independence.

That experience sparked an endless curiosity about how we think, why we do what we do, how relationships shape us, and – most importantly – how to step into our power.

Getting so lost sparked an endless curiosity about how we think, why we do what we do, how relationships shape us, and – most importantly – how to step into our power.

Movement has always been my compass. I practically grew up in a dance school: my mom runs a nonprofit for show dance. Rhythm, expression and the freedom of movement were woven into my life from the very start.

Since I was 16, I’ve been teaching dance to kids and young adults and every time I see them struggle – whether it’s frustration over a forgotten routine, holding back out of fear of judgment, or trying to fit in – I recognize a piece of myself.

I know what it’s like to feel stuck, to shrink yourself, to wonder who you’re supposed to be instead of just being.

But I also know the magic that happens when you move past those limits – the way fear melts away when you let your body lead, the way movement reminds you of who you are beneath all the noise. It’s the most powerful way back to yourself.

There are so many people in this world who share similar experiences.
So many that feel alone in their experience when in fact they are not at all.
So many that know that there’s more to life, that want to free themselves from the patterns that keep them stuck… but how!?

I’ve been there. Most of us have – or will be at some point. It’s comforting knowing we’re not alone.

Long story short:

feelingfabilous is a space where I share my experience, insights into the healing potential of dance & movement and useful things I learn in my studies about self growth.

But also about travel, communication & connection and how to love the sh*t out of yourself again.

Because I can safely say that the best thing about losing myself was that I learned to trust myself deeply

And you can do the same.
