About me
In my work I have a single intention: to help people find genuine happiness - in their work, their relationships, their lives. It may sound simple, but in my experience, it's one of the most courageous and demanding things a person can pursue. That's what drew me to this work, and what keeps me in it.
My background spans Sports Science (German Sport University Cologne), a qualification as a certified Mindfulness-Based Systemic Coach and training as a certified Unified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher.
Together, these experiences fuelled a deep curiosity about human potential and what becomes possible when we learn to work with our own minds more skilfully - while teaching me the importance of structure and trust in the process of growth. This learning came alive at a mindfulness consulting firm, where alongside studying latest research on the impact of mindfulness on the brain and its neuroplasticity, I also led workshops and saw firsthand how these practices create real change for people in their work.
My own path to mindfulness wasn't a straight one. At 27, after my first silent retreat, I fell deeply in love with meditation and committed to everyday meditation practices and continued attending silent retreats. However, at 33 I found myself in the grip of extreme anxiety followed by a deep depression that lasted three years - one of the most humbling and exhausting periods of my life. The practice I had built over years became one of the very anchors that helped me find my way back. Not as a cure, but as a daily return to the present moment, to stillness, to myself. That struggle is at the heart of what I do today and what I offer. I know what it feels like when the mind works against you - and I know, from the inside, that change is possible.
I have maintained a consistent personal meditation practice for almost a decade, deepened each year through silent retreats. A long-standing interest in Buddhism and Stoicism as well as my own crisis quietly shaped the way I think about suffering, resilience, impermanence, and what it means to live well - not as abstract philosophy, but as lived orientation.
Outside of my work, you will find me on trails. Trail running is where much of this comes together for me - the physical demand, the presence it requires, the humility it teaches. Like meditation, it is a practice of showing up, staying with difficulty, and discovering what you are made of. I believe that pursuing your own edges - in running, in sitting, in life - is one of the most honest forms of personal development there is.
