I have been working and studying in the field of therapy, trauma processing, systemic work, personal development and coaching for over 20 years. A second career after my master’s degree in Theatre and Film Studies, I am also a dramaturge and I have a great love for the arts and the stories that are expressed in them.
Over the past 8 years, I have wanted to focus more specifically on letting your creative power flow, creating a new story for yourself, the deeper energy, wisdom and potency in a woman’s body, releasing your unique sound and living life to the fullest.
How my journey started..
About 9 years ago, I received a huge wake up call which made me aware that I had lost a deeper connection with myself and my deepest desires for my life. Despite my natural urge for autonomy, I had started to adapt too much to my environment and drifted too far away from myself, my pleasure and what turned me on in life. I noticed how much this affected my entire sense of happiness in life although from the outside my life looked really good! It became a time of rediscovering and, above all, sinking deeper into my body and own essence of femininity, more deeply embracing my own personal story and the collective story of women now and in history. It was back then that my own sexual organs came back to live and slowly started to speak to me. It was back then that I started to connect with other women in search of the true wisdom of our bodies.
My journey
This required something new from me, namely that I opened myself to be vulnerable ánd started listening to the deeper desires of my body. It asked to slow down and listen to the teachings of other inspiring women in this field. That I showed myself in nakedness in who I truly was underneath all the constructed layers of my being. To do that, while being surrounded by women who witness you and hold space for you, who comfort you and guide you back to your own inner compass is the most powerful thing that I have ever experienced in my whole life! A journey back to a feeling of true belonging in this world.
My own desire is to live from the depths of my cells and from my creative flow. To do everything I do from a place of love and passion. Love for life, for myself, for humanity, our creative power, the earth and so on. Choosing out of love and not out of fear….. in a way where the feminine and the masculine feel completely in balance. My creative flow and deepest desire have become my guideline and compass for the choices I make.

Work together?
In order to take real steps, it is important that you have come to the right place with your desires and needs. That is why I would like to invite you for a free discovery call. In a discovery call we will talk about what you want to achieve and I will tell you what you can expect from me. This way we both can experience whether we are the right match to work together!

Sisterhood
Sisterhood and experiencing a network of support are extremely important within my work with you. If we manage to convert the tendency to compare or jealousy into an actual honest sharing with each other, beautiful connections are created and accelerated personal transformations and a more natural supportive balance between women will arise. We need each other to actually get to know ourselves and find the fulfillment we seek. And you don’t have to do it alone! We are in this together!
