About me
My mission is to help my clients to live authentically and sustainably - to feel at home in their bodies, clear in their heads and full of joy in their hearts. I believe in the profound gift of personal growth, in fulfilling relationships and in accompanying projects with commitment and passion.
Being a sensitive person myself, I recognise the individual challenges and strengths that come with heightened awareness. I work closely with my clients to harness this trait as a powerful tool for deeper self-awareness, emotional resilience and self-realisation - especially when the environment feels overwhelming due to noise, crowds or chaotic circumstances.
I studied educational sciences and psychology at the Free University of Berlin and worked for a foundation working to open up public schools with alternative perspectives. After training in journalism and rhetoric, I specialised in communication and group facilitation to strengthen deeper human relationships.
Since childhood I have been fascinated by how people shape their reality and how the psyche harmonises with the body. Tibetan Buddhism showed me the power of meditation and conscious awareness, while alternative medicine deepened my understanding of healing. My passion for understanding human behaviour and experience led me to train in Integrative Psychotherapy at the Christoph Mahr Institute. I later incorporated hypnosis, EDMR and bodywork into my work. Today I use the body as a key to unlock emotions and guide clients on their path to self-discovery.

Approach
My approach integrates coaching (meaning, values, resource work), systemic methods (inner team, constellation work), therapeutic techniques (EMDR, MBSR, hypnosis), and holistic bodywork (Somalogy, Tai Chi, Qi Gong) to create a comprehensive and effective therapeutic experience. Drawing from Solution-Focused Therapy and Integrated Psychotherapy, I support clients in breaking limiting behavior patterns, developing body intelligence, and embracing their spiritual experiences.
I believe in a client-centered, solution-oriented approach that focuses on:
- Balancing your emotional world by connecting body and mind for greater stability and groundedness.
- Evolving your movement with mindful practices that enhance both physical and mental clarity.
- Reconnecting with your intuition and reframing reactions to better align with your true self.
- Healing from trauma, releasing pain from past events, and finding emotional freedom.
- Exploring inner metaphors to transform your self-perception and unlock potential.
- Tapping into your inner resources to confidently navigate life’s challenges.
I firmly believe that each person possesses the strengths and abilities needed to realize their dreams and goals. By tapping into your inner resources, you can achieve personal and professional success while maintaining emotional freedom and authenticity.
In our work together, you’ll receive personalized strategies, motivation, and tools for integrating these practices into your daily life. My support is ongoing, providing physical, emotional, and spiritual guidance, as well as real accountability.
I value direct communication, meaningful connections, and deep, transformative experiences. If this resonates with you, I invite you to send me a message.
