Chapter I · Why?
Why do I celebrate my children’s birthdays?
When friends and family come to my birthday, I feel like I matter. I feel like I’m a part of my community. I am reassured that I’m loved and honored for simply being born and being myself. I’m sure my kids feel the same way and these feelings are a gift. They bring confidence, peace and joy.
I do my best not to throw a party AT my kids and friends. I try to create a special unique moment in time and space where we can forget about everything else and be truly present together. This is one of the best feelings I know and I want my kids to know it well and to cherish it above winning, showing off or having the most.
I want them to build a habit to gather with their friends for moments of celebration and grief because it’s the most important thing for their mental health. Humans heal each other when they are connected. When they play, run, sing, eat and share stories together, they are happy, they feel safe. I want this for my children always but especially on their birthday.
Now tell me… Why do you celebrate your children’s birthdays?

Chapter II · How?
My principles in crafting a Birthday Party
Thoughtful rhythms designed so children—and parents—leave feeling connected rather than overwhelmed.
Moments of Quiet & Calm
I avoid sensory overload. We all love sounds, lights and colors. But I need moments of quiet and calm in between to truly enjoy the moment. What about you?
Part of the Tribe
I avoid competitive games and always opt for collaboration. We’re not here to find out who is the fastest or the loudest. We’re here to see what we can do together and what it feels like to be a part of the tribe.

Chapter III · The Stories
Adventures Written for Real Children
Each story is adapted to your child’s age, favorite worlds, and group of friends.
For Safira, 4 years old
A Forgetful Witch
The kind witch is super duper forgetful. She LOVES to play and the only day she can play outside together with the kids is HALLOWEEN 🎃. So she has a very special Halloween book with all her favorite games because without it she forgets how to play and what games are her favorite.
She knows she forgets EVERYTHING so last Halloween she put the book in a safe place that is really hard to find AND she left the clues for herself to be able to find it. She has a note in her pocket that is the first clue…
For Penelope, 5 years old
Bella Loves to Dance!
A little mouse named Bella loves to dance! She lives in a beautiful forest treehouse with her friends, and her biggest dream is to become a ballerina. Can we help her make it come true?
Together, we’ll dance our way down winding forest trails, hop aboard a bumpy train ride, and tiptoe through busy city streets to reach the City Ballet School. Bella may be just a tiny mouse—but when your heart wants to dance, nothing can stop you!
For Emma, 4 years old
Lulu and The Lost Candles
A little unicorn called Lulu was assigned her very first real unicorn job: to deliver special magical candles to Emma’s party. The candles make sure that birthday wishes of all the kids around the world come true!
Unfortunately, Lulu got distracted and lost the candles 😱 Emma and her friends (with some fun, easy backup from the parents!) help Lulu travel through Imagination Land, find the candles and get back to Zurich just in time for the cake! 🎂
For Agata, 2 years old
A Storm at the Farm
A sudden wind has blown across the little farm, scattering the animals’ cozy nests and muddy pastures! Designed especially for two-year-olds, this gentle sensory adventure invites little hands to help put the farm back together.
Together with parents, we splash through puddles, paint fresh green meadows, tuck the animals safely into the barn, and celebrate together when the warm sun returns.

Chapter V · Who?
Meet Anna
I’ve spent years bringing stories and celebrations to life for children—working as a camp counselor, birthday party entertainer, organizer of school-wide events, and teacher at an international school in Bangkok.
Today, my favorite role by far is being a mom to my two little girls.
After moving to Switzerland and taking a pause for maternity leave, I’m back in my element—combining my passion for early childhood, game design, and storytelling to create magical, unhurried celebrations for your family.
Chapter VI · Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What ages do you work with?
I typically craft birthday adventures for children aged 2 to 8 years old. Every story and activity is tailored to your child’s developmental stage—from gentle, tactile sensory tales for toddlers (like A Storm at the Farm for a 2nd birthday) to collaborative mysteries, potion-making, and treasure hunts for preschoolers and early primary school kids. If your group has mixed ages or siblings, I design roles so both younger and older children feel included.
What locations do you work at?
I work in Adliswil and along the Silver Coast (including Kilchberg, Rüschlikon, Thalwil, Oberrieden, Horgen, Langnau am Albis, and nearby parts of Zurich). Parties can take place right in your living room, in your garden, at a rented community room (Gemeinschaftszentrum / Quartierverein), or outdoors in a local park or forest clearing.
What languages can the party be hosted in?
I host parties in English and Russian (or a warm bilingual mix if your guests speak different languages at home). I’m currently learning German too and hope to add it to the list soon!
Can parents stay and join the adventure?
Absolutely! There is no performer and no passive audience—we all become part of a collaborative experiment. Parents are warmly welcome to join in the games and story circle alongside the children, or relax nearby with a cup of coffee while their child explores.
