Why I Do This Work
I know what it feels like to carry responsibility that never stops. To perform when you’re already running on empty. To hold it all together for your team, your company, your family, while inside you are longing for space to breathe.
I’ve lived through burnout, cancer, motherhood and the relentless demands of business and life. I know what it’s like to reach the breaking point. And I also know what it takes to rebuild from the inside out.
What I discovered is this: Beneath pressure and fatigue lies a deeper source of clarity, strength and presence. And leaders don’t have to wait for crisis to access it. It can be cultivated now - before health or performance collapse.
This is why I do this work.
I help leaders and teams turn stress into calm power. To regulate under pressure, think clearly and expand the energy they bring to their work and relationships. Because when leaders are grounded, decisions improve. When team members are connected with themselves and each other energy flows, innovation rises. And when people feel safe and supported, organizations thrive.
WHY WORK WITH ME
I know pressure. I’ve lived it. During my time in the corporate world, I worked across board-level projects, management offices and startup innovation, while raising a family of three and navigating the constant pressure of high-stakes environments.
And I also walked through burnout, death-threatening illness and recovery, learning firsthand what it takes to sustain high performance without losing yourself.
For the past 6 years, I’ve run a coaching practice supporting people from all walks of life — leaders and entrepreneurs, parents and creatives, seekers and survivors — guiding them to find clarity, resilience and sustainable ways of living and leading.
Today I combine:
Corporate Strategy Experience → I speak your language.
Nervous System Training & Hypnosis → I know how to unlock clarity under stress.
Embodiment Practices → We don’t just talk about change, you get to feel it.
This isn’t therapy. It isn’t fluffy coaching. It’s practical, embodied, science-backed support for leaders who want to stay clear and regulated in the moments that matter most.
What I Bring
My background shapes the way I guide leaders and teams today. The high-pressure corridors of global corporations and the deep work of human transformation.
Corporate Experience — Over a decade in Strategy and Change Management with organizations such as Deutsche Bank, Lufthansa Cargo and Panasonic Automotive Systems GmbH as well as Corporate Health Management at PepsiCo AG, Telekom AG, Deutsche Bahn AG and others, where I learned the reality of fast-paced decision-making, leadership demands and constant change.
Transformational Expertise — Certified in Mental Training, Hypnosis- and Visualisation- based Coaching, Meditation, Breathwork & different Yoga forms. I studied Sport Science & Psychology B.A., Business Administration & Economics B.Sc. and Business Education & Coaching M.Sc. at Goethe University Frankfurt, as well as Nervous System Regulation & Expansion and Emotional Mastery. I have gathered over 16 years of experience in guiding and teaching individuals and teams to release stress, reset their energy and expand their capacity.
Embodied Resilience — Having faced burnout, cancer and motherhood, I know what it means to rebuild from the inside out and I became an expert in creating non-judgmental fun spaces of safety, trust and connection, in which everything and everyone is welcome.
What I offer is simple: Sustainable performance - the bridge between performance and humanity.
The right mindset, soft skill development and practical tools leaders can use in high-pressure moments to sustain their energy and reach their goals. Embodied practices that reset the system and unlock energy. And a grounded presence that brings out the best in both - people and performance.
So your team expands instead of breaking down and burn out half-way.
I have found what is needed to live a sustainable life full of impact and I am on a mission to share this embodied knowledge with the ones on the forefront of innovation. So it can become a long-term success.
