Following my Masters at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin, I moved into corporate responsibility consulting with S&Z Consultants and strategic corporate citizenship and collective impact consulting with PHINEO - United Way Germany. I worked with top leaders across different sectors internationally, helping them to drive long-term, impact-oriented social and system change. After many inspiring years of following this purposeful path that combined my passion for people, business potential and the greater good, my own personal system asked for a reset.

Chronic illness - linked to Epstein-Barr Virus - and stress brought my body to a standstill. Despite following strict medical and complementary protocols over the years, being active and surrounded by wonderful friends, my overall health was getting increasingly worse. When my body forced me to stop everything I was invited to go deeper. Something inside asked for a complete, holistic renewal that would enable me to live in wholesome health and freedom at all levels.

It was at that time that I discovered the extraordinary field and science of mind-body healing and the powerful teachings and tools of The Journey method by Brandon Bays. Diving right in I experienced first hand how unresolved trauma and unprocessed emotional pain can become lodged in the body, creating symptomatic struggle and limited self-expression. This is compounded by patterns of unconscious conditioning inside ourselves around our identification, belief systems and personality, which keep us away from emotional “no-go-zones”. Little did I know that this innocent exploration would become a life transformation process, in which I would move continuously through fear of the deepest unknown into greater presence, freedom and strength.

Thanks to this root-cause healing approach, the pattern of illness dissolved and the chronic fatigue that at times made me wonder if life would ever be the same again, vanished after a few years. What once felt like a constant state of anxiety released into deeper peace and my nervous system has readjusted significantly. But most importantly, life is so much more free, present, authentic, rich and full of love than I could ever have imagined…and this is not dependent on anything “out there” nor fundamentally affected by what might be going on “in here”. It is a consciousness and embodied connection to who I really am that is essentially restful, trusting and naturally abundant. All of life’s up’s, down’s and in-between’s can show up in this ever more freely.

While on this journey and after seven years in Berlin, I joined the On Purpose Leadership Programme in London for a fantastic year of personal impact fine-tuning, systems leadership work and network-building. Alongside that I completed my qualification as an Accredited and Recommended Journey Method Practitioner*. The Practitioner's Programme is a thorough multi-stage training, involving deep self-inquiry, personal transformation and extensive case study work. I learned everything from the inside out, embodying the tools and the whole teaching to the point that it has become a way of life for me - an essence I live from rather than a process I have to do. I continuously invite myself to stop, get still, and welcome whatever needs to be felt and released for a natural restoration of energy flow, healing, and the emergence of deeper love and freedom.

Having experienced and witnessed the astounding results in myself and in the people I worked with from across the world - all of different backgrounds and ages - it felt natural to bring this into my leadership work through 1-1 sessions. The mind-body therapy & coaching I offer draws on skills and insights from many hours of additional leadership coaching to offer clients the most powerful sessions possible. Currently I am practicing deep embodied presence and radical inclusion with Nicholas Janni, who won UK Business Book of the Year 2023 for his paradigm-shifting work Leader as Healer.

I am hugely grateful for this work, for my wonderful clients, for the life I now lead - moving between city and nature in new health and connection - for the magic of the Unknown, and for the unshakeable connection in Truth and Love that guides my way.
