Hi, nice to meet you.
I’m Verena Spilker & I here to support you to become your most empowered self, yet.
I’ve recently created the Sustainable Business Directory to support female*, non-binary and ally-run businesses worldwide and make all of our lives easier.
I’ve built this website (myself, I used to be a web designer) to connect with you, and to help you to get out of stress, anxiety, overwhelm, sickness and confusion so you too can start living a truly meaningful and free life as your best self, no matter what that might look like for you.
I’m also always happy to hear from you if you’d like to interview me or have a request about working together and supporting each other. ✨
The best way to work with me directly is through a VIP commitment in the I AM CREATOR School. Check out the BLOG or sign up to the NEWSLETTER for a lot of free information and tools, or message me if you have any questions.
CLARITY 🌱 CONFIDENCE ✨ CONNECTION ❤️
It’s time to explore, love, receive and thrive.
Thoughts I relate to
VISION
A world, in which every person knows how incredibly powerful they are.
MISSION
To help raise the consciousness of our planet by sharing my story of how I overcame stress, sickness, overwhelm and confusion and found clarity, love and inner peace and to share the tools and practices that have helped me to get there.
I’m here to support any person who is ready to access and grow their self-love and self-healing abilities, to discover & explore their true self and to start living the life they desire.
Get in touch
I always love to hear from people who find my website or come here to find out more about my offerings.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you and to seeing you transform your life!

Hi, if we haven’t met yet, I’d like to introduce myself.
I’m Verena and I love my new life. You can read how I got here, in the slide show to the left (or above on mobile).
I’m looking forward to meeting you, and to support you on your journey to live your best life as your true self, with love, clarity & confidence.
You can follow me, write me, sign up for the free newsletter or join the I AM CREATOR School.
Know that no matter how you feel and where you are right now, I love you, and believe in you, and wish you only the very best.
With lots of love,
Verena
The three Elements of well-being:

Physical Well-being // Body
With enough sleep, good food and wise exercise we enable ourselves to live happy, joyful and successful lives.
No matter what we want to achieve, it's our biggest wealth to know how to best take care of ourselves and our bodies.
Let me share the most useful practices with you.

Mental Well-being // Mind
Our mental well-being is strongly linked to our physical well-being and vice versa. Everything is connected and in need of our care. 😉
But we can train our minds for well-being, the same way we can take care of our physical well-being if we want to thrive in life.
I invite you on a journey to discover how to practice this with love and joy.

Relational Well-being // Soul
Change always starts with ourselves, and eventually brings us to being able to be fully present in community as well.
We are all part of one consciousness, and it’s time to fully understand what that means and to find out how we can benefit from that.
Discover playful ways of connecting with me.
❤️
I AM CREATOR School

OUR WORLD NEEDS CHANGE.
Our world needs you.
In your full power.
Start exploring new ways to be in this world.
How can you benefit from coaching? Life is precious, and it's a limited period of time we have on this earth, in this form. We can use this time to grow, experience, love, serve and learn.
Each of us gets to choose in every moment how their life is going to continue, but often we don't make the choices we want, but the ones we think are expected from us. And that leads to chaos, unhappiness and confusion because we're not aligned with our inner knowing.
Once we realize that we have the power to choose and change our circumstances, life enters into a more natural flow.
But to get there, we have some unlearning to do. We need to uncover the subconscious believes that keep us stuck, we need to leave our comfort zones and stretch ourselves, and we have to form new habits that serve us better. And that's what I'm here for, I will help you to become joyfully interdependent.
If you would like to work with me as a coach, I can guide you to find new options that are more aligned with your inner knowing, and to learn to trust your inner voice, to clear blockages that have been holding you back and to open up space for what really matters in your life. The best way to work with me this year is by joining the I AM CREATOR School as a VIP member with individual coaching.
On this journey you can find clarity, confidence, love, freedom, connection and so much more.
Getting Started is Easy
Ask yourself:
Am I ready to explore what else is possible for me? Am I curious to learn more about myself and my powers?
