About me
After growing up in Germany and traveling to Australia I continued my journey abroad to study psychology in the Netherlands. With diverse interests also joined entrepreneurship studied abroad organizational psychology and philosophy in Hong Kong. After which I continued practices in the arts of meditation in Nepal and Thailand.
Traveling and living as an expat has given me such a diverse and new perspective on interactive with different cultures. Also, what became my biggest asset is that I can point out patterns and culture traditions that might be harmful for you.
But especially when it comes to living outside the normal path of society and dealing with challenges that most people do not understand is my specialty.
In line with that is also the ability to be very non-judgmental due to the experiences of being with families in South America and Asia. I have seen a lot and that helps to see everything as part of the human experience. We are more similar than we are different.
I look forward to hearing your story.

Approach
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re someone who is stuck.
By now maybe even frustrated, exhausted, or still stressed.
You've thought about this a lot already. Come up with a lot of plans and solutions... but they don't seem to work anymore. By now it's just overthinking...
You’re smart. Capable. You’ve built a life where your thinking actually matters. And it has taken you far. People respect you for it. They rely on you.
You "should" be happy now... But you are not.
Maybe you keep asking yourself whether what you’re doing is good enough.
Maybe you replay decisions long after they’re made.
Maybe you feel busy, productive, and yet strangely unsettled.
As if you’re always one step away from finally feeling at ease.
For a long time, I tried to think my way out of doubt. More insight. More understanding. More clarity. And while that helped, it never really brought the kind of calm or trust I was looking for.
My work is for people who sense that too.
People who are done trying to optimize themselves into peace. Because it never works.
It's like using a hammer to pull out a splinter. You hurt yourself.
But there is another way. A way in which life is filled with joy, curiosity, boundless energy, and humor. That is all there, in this moment. But your current way of thinking is preventing it.
Breaking the pattern.
Life is boundless and has endless opportunities. Sometimes everything shifts in a moment. But only if we allow ourselves to stop bracing for impact all the time. Being in fear.
Life is giving you the hints to evolve, to grow.
I believe you can do that, and you did that already. So now it's time to unlearn, to come back to this joyful, free, and curious mind.
One that makes you feel grounded, strong, and light at the same time.
If that sounds like a fit, I’d love to explore working together.
