Mein ganzes Erwachsenenleben ist geprägt und begleitet von persönlicher Weiterentwicklung. Schon in meinem Elternhaus habe ich das Tapping (Klopftechnik) gelernt. Innere Reisen, innere Kindarbeit, Ho’oponopono, Aufstellungen, Begegnungen mit Robert Betz, Katie Byrons The Work und noch vielem mehr waren frühe Einflüsse auf meinem Werdegang.

Ich liebe und lebe für kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung – z.B. mit Seminaren mit dem 7. Dzogdchen Rinpoche, schamanischen Reisen, eigener Coaching Begleitung, Cacao Ceremony Teacher Training – und sauge alles wissbegierig auf wie ein Schwamm. Ich lese leidenschaftlich gern Bücher, vor allem die, die mich transformieren.

Mit Theta Healing habe ich eine Modalität gefunden, die viele Aspekte von dem, was ich erfahren und gelernt habe, in einer Struktur zusammenführt, die unglaublichen Tiefgang ermöglicht.

Das Nervensystem-basierten, traumasensiblem Coaching hat mir eine ganz neue Wahrnehmung und Sprache geschenkt für all das, wie wir Menschen sind, fühlen und erleben. Die Tools erweitern auf so sanfte Weise die Kapazität zur Selbstregulation und Ko-Regulation.

All diese Einflüsse bereichern mein Leben und meine Arbeit.

Meinen Gefühlen und Gedanken nicht ausgeliefert zu sein, sondern aktiv für mein Lebensglück loszugehen, selbst etwas verändern zu können - das treibt mich an.

Die Lehrer und Menschen, die mich und meine Arbeit am meisten beeinflusst haben:

  • Claire Rother – Nervensystem-basiertes, traumasensibles Coaching 
  • Theta Healing Instructors (u.a. Catherine Weber, Michaela Keim, Sandra Gallagher)
  • Gemma Brady – Gründerin von Sister Stories und Ausbilderin des Circle Facilitator Trainings
  • Becca Rich – Holistic Time Management Training
  • Andrea Thiesen – Training in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation 
  • Johanna van Löchtern – Mentorin für Intuition, Manifestation und persönliches Wachstum
  • Franziska Behlert – Mentorin für Intuition
  • Lynette Allen
  • Avital Schreiber
  • Joe Dispenza
  • Robert Betz
  • Meine eigenen Reisen in den verschiedensten women’s circles, vor allem in England und intereuropäisch
  • Mein Körper
  • Meine Intuition
  • Noch viel viel mehr Menschen, die mich auf meiner eigenen Reise inspiriert haben: u.a. Nisha Moodley, Abraham Hicks, Gabrielle Bernstein, Alberto Villoldo, Eckhart Tolle.

My whole adult life has been influenced and supported by personal development. Already in my parents’ house I learned to regulate with tapping. Inner journeys, inner child work, Ho’oponopono, constellations, encounters with Robert Betz, Katie Byron’s The Work and many more were early influences on my path.

I love and live for continuous development – e.g. with seminars with the 7th Dzogdchen Rinpoche, shamanic journeys, my own coaching guidance, Cacao Ceremony Teacher Training. I soak up everything inquisitively like a sponge. I am passionate about reading books, especially those that transform me.

With Theta Healing I have found a modality that brings together many aspects of what I have experienced and learned into a structure that allows for incredible depth.

Nervous system-based, trauma-informed Coaching has given me a completely new perception and language for all that we are, feel and experience as human beings. The tools so gently expand the capacity for self-regulation and co-regulation.

All these influences enrich my life and my work.

Not to be at the mercy of my feelings and thoughts, but to actively set out for my happiness in life, to be able to change something myself - that's what drives me.

The teachers and people who have influenced me and my work the most:

  • Claire Rother – Nervous system-based, trauma-informed Coaching 
  • Theta Healing instructors (Catherine Weber, Michaela Keim, Sandra Gallagher, among others)
  • Gemma Brady – founder of Sister Stories and trainer of the Circle Facilitation Training
  • Becca Rich – Holistic Time Management Training
  • Andrea Thiesen – Nonviolent Communication training
  • Johanna van Löchtern – mentor for intuition, manifestation and personal growth
  • Franziska Behlert – mentor for intuition
  • Lynette Allen
  • Avital Schreiber
  • Dr. Joe Dispenza
  • Robert Betz
  • my own journeys in different women’s circles, mainly in Europe and the UK
  • my body
  • my intuition
  • Many more people who have inspired me on my own journey: Nisha Moodley, Abraham Hicks, Gabrielle Bernstein, Alberto Villoldo, Eckhart Tolle, among others.
