My Story

I started out my professional career on an almost pre-planned path; my father had worked for the German airline Lufthansa, and I followed in his footsteps by completing an airline industry manager apprenticeship there and studying economics and gaining people skills while handling aircraft. All the while, I realised that I didn't want a 'big career' or become a director of the company - I enjoyed listening to people and found great fulfilment when I could help them. 

So the first attempt to follow my 'calling was when I left Lufthansa and joined a priest seminary. I studied there for 2 years in order to become a priest, but left before I got ordained, mainly because of the organisational structure of the church I belonged to.

I then moved from Germany to the UK and started a career in hospitality, which saw me becoming the first female Night Manager of the Savoy hotel in London. I enjoyed the 'pastoral' part of the work at night, when I looked after stranded guests as well as colleagues who were struggling with all different kinds of issues and I also developed my management style which was respected by my teams as well as by the management as shown by the leadership awards I earned. 

It was in fact a colleague, who one night told me that my talents were wasted in the hotel at night, and that I should go out and help more people (thank you Nick!).

That's what started my next attempt to follow my calling and I trained to become a life coach and subsequently a hypnotherapist. In my first year I helped over a hundred clients to stop smoking or drinking, drop weight or become more confident, overcome self-harming thoughts and many other significant issues. I found that life coaching in combination with hypnotherapy was ideally suited to identify and resolve limiting beliefs and to help clients who wanted to resolve any issues with addictions. However, my desire was to help cancer patients with the powerful tools of hypnosis and coaching, but I had never been seriously ill in my life, so I thought 'who am I to help someone with such a terrible illness?'

At this point my partner suffered a mild heart attack and was subsequently diagnosed with a neuroendocrine cancer in his stomach, so I learned a lot about caring for a cancer patient and how to support someone who doesn't think in the same holistic ways about health as I do. A year later, just as his treatments were ending successfully, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and so now I found myself experiencing being a cancer patient. I have been very interested in holistic approaches to treat many disorders since I was a teenager, and never liked the idea of chemotherapy, so at this point I had to make some difficult decisions. The result was a compromise of combining my holistic approaches with modern medicine and I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction as well as chemotherapy and radiation, and all that while experiencing next to no side effects and excellent healing, thanks to all the holistic therapies I applied. I have documented this journey in a book which will be published soon.

I am now at a stage where I combine ​all that I have learned and all that I have experienced with all my holistic and spiritual studies and I am able to offer a form of coaching that allows me to hold a safe space for my clients, in which we can dive deep and find profound answers to the questions that many have carried all their life.

My most recent training has qualified me as a PSYCH-K® Preferred Facilitator and I can now offer the powerful tools of PSYCH-K® to my clients. PSYCH-K® is a simple way to effectively remove stress and a very fast way to change limiting beliefs. It can be integrated in the coaching process or booked as a stand-alone session to work on specific issues.

Based on my training as a clinical hypnotherapist (I trained with Marisa Peer and Dr. John Butler) and the coaching skills I gained when training for my 'Certificate in Professional Coaching Skills' at Coaching Development, I can help people with many issues - but my true passion lies in working with people who are already doing well and know there is more in them. People who want to break through the glass ceiling of their own potential, release the beliefs that have been quietly running the show, and build the life they actually want to live. Whether that is exceptional performance in sport, greater confidence, financial freedom, or simply waking up every morning with goals that excite them. It took me a while to get there myself, and now I want to light the way for as many others as possible! And with the help of PSYCH-K®, you can get there much faster than I did.

In 2024, I authored and self-published "Glucose Wisdom: A Holistic Path to Reversing Type 2 Diabetes", drawing from my personal triumph over the condition. The book is available in English, German, and Finnish, and forms the foundation of my Glucose Wisdom coaching programme. It is one of the things I am most proud of.

Then in 2025, the final piece of my own puzzle clicked into place. A chance conversation during a road trip through Germany introduced me to a range of high-quality nutritional supplements, and what happened next changed everything. For the first time in fifty-four years, I woke up one morning and my eyes simply opened. No fight, no darkness, no dragging myself back into the world. I looked at the blue sky and couldn't wait to get up. I had energy I had never known before. And with that energy came something else I had never had: goals. Real ones. Dreams. For the first time in my life, I found myself asking not just how to survive the day, but how good I could actually become.

The insight that followed is the most important thing I have ever understood about my work. I had been searching for decades. The priest seminary. The spiritual studies since I was a teenager. The hypnotherapy, the coaching, the PSYCH-K®. I had worked the Mind and the Soul in every way I knew how, and helped hundreds of people along the way doing exactly that. But until that morning, I had not fully understood that the Body is not simply a vessel that carries the other two. It is the foundation. Without the cellular foundation, the mind cannot sustain the changes it wants to make, and the soul has no ground to act through. I had been looking everywhere except the most obvious place. The answer was in my cells the whole time.

Body, Mind and Soul. Three pillars I have now not only studied and qualified in, but lived through my own experience. That is what makes what I offer genuinely different: not a theory, not a qualification, but a hard-won personal understanding that all three belong together, and that one without the others will only take you so far. The full story of what happened in August 2025 is on my blog, and it is, as I wrote at the time, the most important thing I have ever written.

I am now at the most alive, most purposeful, most excited I have ever been. And that is what I want for my clients too: not just to feel better, but to feel genuinely, unmistakably, undeniably alive.
