About

In my 20s, I earned my Masters in Economics and worked for several years as an economist and journalist. However, life always felt like a struggle and there was a lot of sadness in me. Intense yoga practice brought a new perspective on life and gave my life a new direction as a yoga teacher and traveler on the spiritual path. A challenging kundalini awakening in my late 20’s was the beginning of inner work. Later I retreated from engaging with the “outer world” for several years and put my focus– besides motherhood – on integrating and deepening my spiritual awakening. The experience of the inner stillness, the oneness of all life and the realization of being pure consciousness gave my life new meaning. Over many years, I have devoted myself to intense meditation practice and inner spiritual work.

My awakening not only led me to remember my deeper dimension and shattered some old identities, it also brought to the surface deep wounds, traumas and protective patterns in my mind and body. In order to live anchored in the inner stillness in my everyday life, I was forced to look at my patterns and wounds that had obviously hindered me from living in accordance with my deeper truth. That’s why my spiritual path has consisted of two pillars for many years. The deepening and anchoring into my beingness on one hand, the recognizing, healing and freeing of my limiting patterns and wounds on the other hand.

On my personal journey and in my work, I have been most influenced by the American spiritual teacher Adyashanti and the American psychotherapist and teacher Judith Blackstone. Adyashanti, with his clear teachings on spiritual awakening and its embodiment as a human being, and the challenges involved in this process. Judith Blackstone, with her approach, the Realization Process, which brings together spiritual awakening and psychological healing and supports us in embodying our deepest truth in our lives.
