Since 2018, I´m self-employed as a Holistic Self-Empowerment Coach, accompanying people with my self-developed framework and approach (Mirror Process of the Inner Universe).
My approach is a blend of acquired professional knowledge, spiritual experiences, and medial inspiration.
Utilizing the Mirror Process means: Holding a safe space, within which you can truly open & encounter yourself whilst all your aspects are invited to breathe and ultimately integrate inside your Inner Universe.
That´s my purpose.
There are many techniques, realizations, and tools being integrated in my 100% individualized and unique coaching (working with the subconscious, nervous system, self-regulation techniques, etc.).
The focus is always on you, in your own unique way and essence.
Would you like to know more about the tools and how I work? Take a look here:
Who and what I am, my being (just like yours) goes far beyond what my professional experience and qualifications might tell you about me.
The most deep transformations in my life did not happen through techniques, tools, or conventional coaching methods, but through Divine Intelligence. I was guided, lovingly carried, protected, and experienced healing at the deepest levels.
In the process, I learned that the path to oneself requires patience and trust in spiritual (and inner) guidance. This path is not always easy, and often our mind cannot comprehend what is happening. That is precisely when we become afraid, because we do not know and can no longer control.
I realized that every soul has its own pace and that everything develops naturally from within ourselves. It grows. Like a tree unfolding its leaves—without any pressure or coercion from outside.
That is precisely why I incorporate an enormous amount of gentleness into my coachings. Because it requires a safe space of trust for transformation to happen naturally. We can learn to hold this safe space for ourselves more and more, and that is exactly what I try to convey to you and provide you with the tools to do so.
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 describe, among other things, how I prepare for my work (coaching). In order to create and maintain a safe space for those people, I cleanse myself and ask for guidance. Beyond my professional qualifications, I know that every person who comes and trusts me, needs something different, and I can never know for sure what that is. The divine knows.
In this video, I also describe the core values that are important to me. You can find out more about this here:
“… 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.
Over time, my basic trust in life was shattered and I lost connection with my naturalness, lightness, and zest for life. My very own being.
Far too early on, I became preoccupied with the suffering of others. I lost touch with myself. I suffered, but I literally swallowed the pain —at the age of 18, I weighed 110 kg.
Every unconscious self-alienation eventually leads to rebellious anger. That was also the case here. An outburst, a liberation, at least outwardly. 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.
During this time, I experienced and realized many core things: about us humans, our motives, conditioning, and shadow sides.
Unfortunately, I also learned that grief, pain, conditioning, and relationship scripts do not simply disappear when we leave an old system.
We carry the system within us.
Everything accompanies us until we give ourselves the space to let it be there. Space to feel, understand, and accept what wants to be revealed and recognized.
Then everything has the chance to be released, integrated, and transformed.
To do so, we must go within and listen. To all the unspoken and unfelt facets of us, waiting to finally come home. It is a process that needs time. Time and space.
A repeat button can turn you into despair. Especially when you don’t realize it’s been pressed.
My ingrained relationship scripts and conditionings drew me into what I would now call a toxic relationship. Toxic because both of us were trying to solve something in the relationship that could only be solved in our own universe.
When intense emotions, intoxicating ecstasy, and declarations of love alternate with painful, degrading conflicts, when there is no security, no continuity, then that is exactly what is toxic. Total closeness and complete distance. On-off. No stages between idealization and devaluation. Drama—even in reconciliation.
To the point of self-alienation, I encountered the entire spectrum of narcissistic behavior and tried everything to save these relationships. We often say “love,” but most of the time it´s the inner child in survival mode. After my last toxic relationship, I plunged into the deepest crisis of my life to date.
This end was a final stop. I became aware of the cycle, the relationship script that was playing out inside me. The pain led me back to myself. To my inner universe. What was going on inside me was not my partners’ “fault.” Rather, I had tried unsuccessfully to overlook the inner shards with them. In doing so, even more broke.
With pain realizations came. The fragments of my inner universe were difficult to grasp at first, but I gradually learned to put myself back together.
Kintsugi is a centuries-old traditional Japanese craft. Broken ceramics are not thrown away, but repaired.
The shards are artfully pieced together and the breaks are decorated with gold. Instead of hiding the break, it is made visible, even emphasized.
Piece by piece, it came back together inside me. It wasn’t always easy. It took trust, patience, and courage.
At the time, I didn’t know that my breakdown was a new beginning the same time. The new bowl started shaping.
I shared everything I learned about toxic relationships during this time on my blog for others.
My psychological knowledge helped me sort through all the pieces and put my experiences into words.
But the transformation happened on another level, one that is an indelible part of my being and work.

In monasteries, ashrams, and other special places, I have had many experiences that are difficult to put into words.
To this day, Sanskrit mantras are a real treasure for me. It is magical what they can do!
Grateful for silence, self-reflection, meditation, and devotion to this connection, healing gradually came into my life.
Areas of being opened up, access to knowledge and insights that cannot be found in any textbook—because they have to be experienced.
All of this was much more like remembering, uncovering something that had always been there.
This process continues to this day.

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.
My own experiences and those gained from supporting others tought me that there is no one-fits-all single solution. Especially since no one should presume to know the solution for any other person. A solution is something that comes from within ourselves. Because everything is already there within each of us.
When we are given a safe space where we can feel heard, seen, and understood, trust grows.
This trust in a safe space is the prerequisite for inviting the unseen to be seen – to reveal itself within us.
It is important to learn to hold on to this and understand it.
This is where I see my purpose: to hold this space for you and accompany you in such a way that you can learn to hold on to it and understand it. So that you can find within yourself what wants to be found.
Every person is individual, multidimensional, and complex. Everyone carries a unique inner universe within them that wants to be known and understood.
Full of gratitude and joy, I assist you in navigating your unique inner world.
