She came to Switzerland in 1945, where her family initially settled in Zurich . She attended secondary school in Lugano , where she discovered her love for acting at the age of 16 when a play was to be performed in class. At the age of 17 she moved from home and went to Zurich, where she rented a small attic room in “ Niederdörfli ”.

From 1959 to 1961 she completed her training as an actress at the stage studio of the Schauspielhaus Zurich on a scholarship (under the direction of Felix Rellstab ). In the meantime she was already performing at the Schauspielhaus Zurich. She then received a beginner's contract for the 1961/62 season.

Numerous theater engagements followed in German-speaking Switzerland , Germany and Austria . Her stage stations included the Hechtplatztheater Zurich (1961/62 season), the Klosterkeller on Spiegelgasse Zurich (1962), the Torturmtheater Sommerhausen (1963), the Kornmarkttheater Bregenz (1964, as Ismene in " Antigone "), the Ulm Theater (1965 –1967, in permanent engagement), the Staatstheater Kassel (1967–1972, in permanent engagement), the Comedy Basel (1969), the Wuppertaler Bühnen (1975; as Samiel in the opera « Der Freischütz », director: Giancarlo del Monaco ), the Stadttheater St. Gallen (1978, including as Smeraldina in “ The Servant of Two Lords ”) and the Kurtheater Baden (1980).

A daughter emerged from the relationship. After a failed vocal cord operation, the tenor withdrew from the stage. In the early 1980s, Schoch also gave up acting completely. The family moved to Ticino , to the Alpe Arla in the Muggio Valley , to take a break. In the winter of 1980/81 the father left the family. From then on, Schoch raised her daughter on her own and initially kept herself afloat with various jobs, including as a waitress and German conversation teacher. As a Ticino alpine farmer, she eventually worked in agriculture and campaigned for the sustainable management of the region. From the mid-1980s, she turned to nursing . In her mid-forties, she began training as a psychiatric nurse at the cantonal psychiatric clinic in Mendrisio , which she completed in 1987 with a diploma as a psychiatric nurse.
