Studies of the Dharma, Vipassana, and walking meditation at Rockhill Buddhist Monastery in Sri Lanka. During my stay at Anand Ashram in Ubud (Bali), I was instructed in several meditation techniques. I felt deeply connected to the energy and philosophy of yoga, complementing my inner work of consciousness accessed through transcendental meditation and bhakti yoga. The Tibetan Buddhism and the Lakota tradition are cherished and valuable teachers for me. All of this flows naturally into my coaching. For example, you can obtain a MANTRA COMPILATION as an additional tool for your process:
In this (German) video, I demonstrate my devotional cleaning and awareness practices based on my core values: enabling me to be a neutral and beneficial companion for others on their journeys.
“… a very wild and lively girl who loved to play soccer, romp around on dirt hills, and rescue homeless animals in shoe boxes. She could watch snails, clouds, or ants for hours and hours. All living beings fascinated her. When the wind brushed through her hair as she ran across the fields, she screamed in joy. She was free – and brave. After all, there was a new adventure to experience every day! When a summer storm swept across the country and thick raindrops whipped over the steaming asphalt, the girl rushed out into the street to welcome the drops on her skin. The mother’s admonishing words faded into a world that moved into the background. Laughing and crying, the girl danced with the wind and rain.”
This is somehow the beginning of my story, at least in this earthly life. This short passage expresses a significant aspect of my being, my primordial nature. To this day, I am like a fish in water when I can connect with Mother Earth and the elements.
As time went by, my family situation became complicated and consumed me completely. My primal trust in life was scratched and shattered. I lost access to the naturalness, lightness, and joy of life. While my friends transitioned into young adults, I was already forced to assume the role of an adult – busy carrying the burdens and responsibilities of others. I suffered, but at some point, I no longer felt it. I literally swallowed the pain; by the age of 18, I weighed 110 kg.
Unconscious self-alienation can eventually lead to rebellious anger, and that’s exactly what happened. With the power of rebellion, I freed myself – at least I achieved an external liberation: a breakout from the toxic system I had become part of. I slowly began to feel myself again and decided to lose weight.
Before committing to studying psychology, I first completed a semester of jurisprudence and trained as a media designer. I was navigating between perceived constraints, expectations, and my desires. Breaking free from the old system led to a decisive moment: I wanted to attend university! Against all odds and fears, I started my own business as a media designer while also financing my psychology studies. It was a demanding period, yet it made me feel free. With this knowledge, I came to understand life in a new way, particularly regarding my own experiences.
This time gifted me with countless experiences and lessons about humanity, our motives, and our shadow sides. Unfortunately, I also learned that grief, pain, relationship blueprints, scripts, and misprogrammed beliefs don’t simply disappear by leaving an old system. The realization was clear: we carry the system within us.
Everything accompanies us until we create a space to let those things be, observe them, feel them, and understand and accept what needs to be embraced. Only then does everything have a chance to be released, integrated, and ultimately transformed. It’s truly life-changing to feel: you’re a masterpiece in constant state of progress. Space and time.
A repeat button can drive you to despair, especially when you’re unaware that it’s active. My scripts and misprogrammed beliefs pulled me into what I now recognize as a toxic relationship – three times! They were toxic because both of us tried to cover up something within the relationship that can only be resolved within our own inner universe.
A multitude of distractions ultimately prevented a genuine clarification of the issues: dramatic feelings, ecstatic states, and intense expressions of love alternated with painful, devaluing conflicts. Proximity – distance. On – off. Idealization – devaluation. Dramas and reconciliations.
To the point of self-alienation, I encountered the full spectrum of narcissistic behavior and did everything I could to save these relationships. What I once called love left me feeling diminished. After the last relationship ended, I plunged into the deepest crisis of my life.
In those darkest hours of my life, the Lakota Way entered my journey. Drenched in sweat, I participated in sweat lodge ceremonies, where I learned for the first time to sit still, open up, listen, and receive. My previous assumptions transformed into certainties through experience: the spiritual world, in all its diversity, is always present. Nourishing and healing forces flow when we ask for help and open ourselves to it—that’s often the hardest part!
In this connection, I felt the absence of judgment – pure, unconditional love enveloped me, embracing my entire being with all its facets, including my dark spots and self-deceptions. That unconditional love can be difficult to bear at times, as we are often skilled at rejecting and judging ourselves. We struggle to believe in this love, which makes it challenging for us to open our hearts.
Visits to monasteries, ashrams, and other sacred places followed. I gained access to the transformative power of mantras in Sanskrit and learned to embrace silence, self-reflection, meditation, and devotion.
For devotion signifies surrender to life in all its facets! Healing unfolded gradually, as unknown realms of being opened – pathways to knowledge and insights that cannot be found in books or words, for they must be experienced.
This journey felt more like a remembering, unveiling something that had always existed within me. This process continues to this day and will likely persist until the end of my time in this world.

After my qualification as a psychological psychotherapist in 2018, a wave of stressful obligations lifted. I had invested significant time, effort, and money into my education, learning so much and feeling grateful for all the tools that had been provided to me. The most important lessons came from the encounters with the individuals I was privileged to accompany during my nine years in a psychiatric hospital. Psychotherapy has always played – and continues to play – a crucial role in the world. However, I realized I was no longer in the right place.
Something had shifted. In the midst of manualized therapy, diagnostic categorization, and insurance reports, that evolving part of myself struggled to breathe. I longed to work with people differently: at eye level, honoring their intuitive wisdom beyond constructed categories. I wanted to share & encourage others to trust and seek within themselves for all the answers. Since this was, what I had discovered myself: this person we´re searching for is inside ourselves.
I aspired to be a mirror of loving kindness and companionship, acting as an assistant to foster better self-understanding, while encouraging individuals to piece together their own unique masterpiece – fractures included.
So, in 2020, I canceled my employment contract at the hospital. Since then, I have been on a constant journey of developing my own approach to accompanying people. With immense gratitude, I am now doing exactly what I live and truly am. My energetic and intuitive abilities (which everyone possesses!) are a natural part of my work, as being & working begin to merge into one.
Through my experience in accompanying people, I can confidently say: there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. Every individual is unique, multidimensional, and complex. Each person carries a distinct inner universe that yearns to be known and understood. I feel grateful and joyful whenever people invite me into their unique inner world for assistance in navigating it. That is truly an honor!
