Sing, Soul, Sing
What is it that makes your soul sing? When are you happy, and when do you feel free? I feel most happy and free when I allow myself to be present. When I allow myself to forget about all plans or duties and just get in the flow of experiencing and becoming. Most of...

How to…
Life can be tricky. Especially since many of the things we’ve learned and experienced have come to be in traumatized cultures and societies. But we can change our ways and find new modes of being and acting, so we can live more freely, and experience more love and joy. Here are some places to start. If you have ideas or wishes of what else to add, please let me know!
How to Apologize with Love
Do you know how to apologize with love? And do you practice it?
To be human means to make mistakes. There is not one single human being who does not make mistakes regularly.
Let’s take a look at how to apologize, and also, how not to apologize.
How To Create Lasting Change Without Getting Sidetracked
If you are looking to create lasting change in your life, and the fact that you are on this website points in that direction, then I have a really simple trick for you to make the changes you desire stick.
„Knowledge that is not in the bones is just a rumour.“
This quote is attributed to the Asaro People from Papua New Guinea.
When I first heard the quote from Richard Strozzi-Heckler as part of a course I took on embodiment and purpose, it brought a great bit of clarity into my life, and I hope it will do the same for you.
How to Turn Your Home Into a Sanctuary, Today
Let’s turn our homes into places where we can restore and resource ourselves. For that, I’d love to show you how you too can start to turn your home into a sanctuary, today!
I think we can all agree that things have to change, if we want to sustain our planet and ourselves.
d.i.y. corner
Consumption was last year – this year we make our own products. Just kidding. I believe in conscious consumption and that we can’t and don’t have to do everything ourselves. Yet, it helps to know how we can do some of the things ourselves and that we don’t have to buy everything. And it helps to know what some of the things, which we use regularly, are made of, so we can get a better understanding of what is really necessary and healthy. This way we can start to develop a relationship with what we use, how we use it and with that find more awareness and ultimately relax more because we can actually choose how we do things. Here are a few things I started to make myself lately. If you have ideas or wishes of what else to add, please let me know!
How to Create a Beautiful and Effective Facial Toner with Lavender
To make this facial toner was one of my most favourite things this summer.
To cut the lavender, which I grew in my garden, felt and smelled amazing. To bundle the lavender and to hang it up to dry feels like just a joy. And then you…

Standing on the shoulders of giants
I recently heard the quote: “When you invent the car, you also invent the car crash.”
Too often we find ourselves hesitant because we want to avoid mistakes, or possible disasters.
Once we become aware that we are only taking steps in a process of a collective evolution, the fear can dissolve and make room for the joy of exploration.
Everything has a shadow. Yet, we need to dare, to evolve.
We all know, from our individual experience, that we have to try some things and learn for ourselves, to believe them.
The same is true for our collective humanity.
Whatever we do, we are just the messenger of something that is needed for this evolution.
These people have proven what benefit is possible for all of humanity, if we dare. We can learn from them, so that we, too, may dare to be our true and best selves.
Helen Keller and Making the Impossible Possible
I first learned about Helen Keller when I went to High School in the US and read her biography in a vocabulary building class.
It was the same class, in which I also first learned about Maya Angelou.
What struck me, and what I could relate to, was the feeling of alienation and feeling misunderstood by the adults around growing up.
Pablo Picasso and the Beginner’s Mind
I think in the 80s, it was quite impossible to grow up without knowing Pablo Picasso.
I did not have a lot of access to art or discussions about art, but what I did have were calendars or postcard books by artists, with their drawings and paintings and quotes or explanations.
I remember spending a lot of time reading about the artists and studying their work.
Maya Angelou Modelled what it Means to Live with Grace
I first read ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings’ by Maya Angelou when I was an exchange student in San Diego, in the US.
For me at age 16 or 17 it was the first time that I found myself in an environment where I belonged to the small minority of white people.
I think at the time, that was as confusing and new as being surrounded by palm trees at school, a presence that until then was exclusive to vacations.
Dear Future Self
Dear Future Self is an ongoing series which takes a look at the presence in its impermanence.
The idea is to capture a certain moment in time, a feeling, a wish, an encounter or experience and to recognize, that the perspective on that moment will change.
My future self will know more than I do now, will have had more and different experiences than my current self, and will therefore have a different view on what I’m noting now. Going back and forth, between these notes, also documents the steps in personal development and shifts and changes on an individual level.
Self-Actualizing, personal development, the search for more options, or simply experiencing growth and change for any reason, might feel weird, scary or uncertain. Yet impermanence or becoming is something we all share.
20 /// Dear Future Self – Do You Speak Up?
Dear future self, When I was eleven or twelve, I decided not to be completely honest with other people, if it meant that it would hurt their feelings. I didn't think that that was what I was doing, though. I thought I had decided not to say things behind people's back...
19 /// Dear Future Self – How Can We Be Soft?
Dear future self, I just listened to this wonderful compilation, what a perfect way to start the day! "Stretch your mind far enough to soften your heart - stay grounded on both sides. This is tenacious tenderness and tender tenacity." Quote from the video. Tenderness,...
18 /// Dear Future Self – What Do You Grieve?
Dear future self, I keep coming back to grief. Wondering why my heart still feels heavy sometimes, I started listening to a new audiobook: You Can Heal Your Heart by Louise Hay & David Kessler. I just saw the title in the Empower You App, and didn't read the...

Going deep
Some things need more attention than others. Writing helps me to figure out what’s going on. Here are some explorations of topics that move me.
Why You Are Perfect Just the Way You Are
You Are Perfect ❤️
What is the first thing that comes to your mind, when you hear that you are perfect?
That you’re not perfect?
That you couldn’t be perfect because you made this mistake or didn’t do something like you were supposed to?
That you couldn’t be perfect because there was a time when you disappointed or hurt someone?
What if I told you that none of that mattered and that you are perfect, no matter what you do?
What if I shared with you that we are each perfect, exactly the way we are, simply because we exist?
Not Different, Just Love
It’s pride month, and, inspired by an interview I listened to, I thought, that I, and maybe you too, could do with a bit more clarity, and love, when it comes to dealing with our emotions, expectations and responsibilities, around coming out, but also when it comes to our families and love in general.
Which Side are You on? How to Make the Most Important Decision of Your Life.
How can we make the most important decision of our lifetime, when for most of us, most of the time it does not feel like we’re deciding at all?
It feels more like things have been decided, the choices have been made, and that we are dealing with the consequences.

OUR WORLD NEEDS CHANGE.
Our world needs you.
In your full power.
Start exploring new ways to be in this world.
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 fiercely 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.
On this journey you can find clarity, confidence, love, freedom, connection and so much more.
Getting Started is Easy
book a call
Book an explorative, safe and confidential Zoom meeting with me to evaluate your needs and goals.
schedule
If you'd like to meet regularly, you can book a package of 3, 6 or 10 sessions so we can cover all your growth needs.
