My deep search for answers
Through my deep search for answers and my curiosity to recognise the true meaning of our lives and how it plays out through our stories, I have studied and learned many helpful modalities. These include Evoped®, Women's Temple Work, Human Design and Conscious Coaching, amongst many others.
These potent methods supported me to look deeper. As I integrated what I discovered, I developed my personal approach by supporting women in their own explorations of things such as; dissolving internal doubt, confusion, conflicts and lack of perspective. My approach is guided by my personal realisation that we can only bring satisfying changes in the outside world when we find access to the solutions within ourselves and loosen the grip of the wanted outcome. When we connect deeply with ourselves, we reveal our own treasures and learn to navigate ourselves from a place of sovereignty and freedom.
Mother, Teacher, Coach
As a child I sometimes felt myself misunderstood and pressed into limiting structures. Later, as a teacher, I wondered why so many children experience disappointment and failure at school even though I could see their potential. As a mother of two daughters, often times I experienced great relief from the support of other women, or a coach. I was touched by the immediate impact it had on the behaviour of our daughters and on the harmony of our family life.
When a naturopath pressed the book "The Seven Certainties That Children Need" into my hand, I knew intuitively this was the way to go. After studying Evolutionspädagogik® I opened a practice for the learning, counselling and coaching of children on the basis of this wonderful tool. I now help children and young people to solve their blockages around a myriad of subjects.
My Passion
I have very often experienced how my children's behaviour immediately changed when I solved what was triggering my reaction to them. Therefore, my passion is to support children and their parents on their way to increased harmony within themselves, each other and to access all potentials of growth. While I am learning and growing through my challenges as a women and mother I am deeply guided and nourished by the support I get in the company of other women, such as a friend, a women of my family lineage, a coach or in a women’s circle. I honour my knowledge of these experiences and therefore I delight in passing them on to other women and mothers.
I see life as a way of healing and unfolding our true inner being. Serving this healing process is important to me. I dedicate my work to the richness and depth of the inner path, which contributes to greater freedom, individuality, peace and harmony in all areas of life.
