Why I Do What I Do

A safe and nurturing space for growth and self-discovery

I provide a safe space where my clients can open up and grow. Within this protected environment, I help them recognize deeply rooted beliefs that often stem from past experiences or cultural conditioning. Through mindful conversations and targeted reflection, I accompany them in questioning and dissolving these limiting beliefs.

About me

Born in Upper Franconia, married and mother of two boys, I noticed my pronounced empathy and interest in people early on. 

My empathy and joy in working with people from around the world led me to a role in communications at a large international company over 25 years ago, where I still work today.

My journey

After many years in a corporate environment, a family crisis brought me to my mental and physical limits.The symptoms I experienced changed my perspective on health and wellbeing profoundly. Through self-reflection and mindfulness, and a deeper understanding of the connection between body and mind, I gradually found my way back to health. 

Today, I know how important it is to listen to the body´s signals and find new ways to cope with stress. 

My goal is to support people who – like me – want more than simply getting through the day. Together, we work towards a life that is healthier, more intentional, and filled with greater joy and fulfilment. 

As an ICF-accredited, passionate coach, I support my clients who face professional or personal challenges or seek general change in their lives.

My coaching is a goal-oriented and highly effective form of reflection between adults. This "craft" enables sustainable, visible, and tangible changes.

This is the reason I do what I do – passionately and with conviction.
