Guide. Develop. Make an impact.


I support individuals, couples and leaders in developing strong inner clarity.

This leads to clear communication, confident action and a conscious life.

When you sense that something wants to change

Perceive more consciously, decide more clearly, live more fully.

5–10%Conscious

  • Numbers
  • Data
  • Facts

90–95%Unconscious

  • Feelings
  • Moods
  • Experiences
  • Fears
  • Values
  • Instincts
  • Drives
  • Desires
  • Trauma

The unconscious has enormous power that shapes you every day. Get to know yourself better, so you are authentic on the outside and feel safe on the inside.

My approach

Through the body to inner clarity and confident action.

You function. But do you also want to feel fully yourself again?

  • Change begins with you.

Why this is often hard

  • Your past experiences have left traces in your nervous system and shape how you think, feel and react. “Triggers” activate those experiences unconsciously. You react, function and act even though you actually want something else.
  • High demands often mean losing contact with yourself and tying up valuable energy.

My approach

  • We use your brain’s lifelong ability to adapt and change its structure, function and neural connections based on experience, thoughts and behavior (neuroplasticity).
  • With body and mental exercises, you can relieve strain on your nervous system and strengthen your self-awareness. That brings more clarity, inner calm and presence, and with them new ways to act.
  • With many years of coaching and leadership experience, I guide your development at the right pace, so that change can take hold consciously and for the long term.

Frequently asked questions

See all questions
What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching explores your current life situation, patterns and possible next steps. Psychotherapy is professional treatment for psychological difficulties and mental health conditions. An appropriately qualified professional can help you assess whether such treatment would be useful for you.
What happens in the free 30-minute intro call?
The free introductory conversation lasts 30 minutes and takes place online or by phone. We get to know each other, you tell me what is on your mind, and I explain how I work. We also discuss the scope and prices of possible sessions. Afterwards, you decide without pressure whether and how to continue. There is no obligation.
How is your approach different from classic executive coaching?
Classic executive coaching usually works at the conscious level, on strategy, communication and leadership behavior. I also work with the nervous system, where stress reactions and old patterns show up. So you don’t just get new tools, you also understand why you often react automatically under pressure. You benefit from my many years as a leader and my experience supporting people. I know what it feels like to carry responsibility when the pressure rises.
