As a teenager, I was already aware of my timeless, spacious deep being, untouched by any experiences. At the age of 34, a sudden out-of-body experience reinforced the knowledge about this consciousness which is not bound to the body at all.

 Many different mystical experiences of oneness and dissolving of self-identity followed – an ongoing process of a fundamental shift in consciousness started.

Due to my wish to support people in their well being and happiness, I chose a profession in the medical area, followed later by numerous trainings and educations in alternative, shamanic and spirit healing methods, modern psychological and spiritual coaching, and personal development techniques. Over the course of 4 years, I was initiated into shamanic energy work, which has its origin in the culture of the Maya, and became a Curandera (Spanish for healer). I studied trauma work, Ken Wilbers’ Integral Philosophie, Drunvalo Melchizedeks’ way of the illuminated awakened heart, and sacred geometry. Finally, with becoming an Emotional Detox Bodywork practitioner, I found a tool to effectively support the physical body to liberate, awaken, and integrate trauma .

Since 1998, I support people in journeys of healing and awakening. I was a co-founder and manager of a non-profit foundation for cultural change with a seminar centre. I also organize the international “Conscious Evolution Summit” I love body exercises like TaiChi and Qi Gong, Energy Medicine, Presence in Movement, and walks in nature.

I enjoy preparing healthy food, collecting wild herbs, doing handicrafts, music, dance, painting, inspiring conversations, and the nurture of spending time in silence. I enjoy the deep, friendship connection with my two wonderful adult daughters. The exchange with them is a great enrichment in my life. Together with Shanti, my partner, I explore what it means to live in an evolutionary relationship.

Since Ramana Maharshi, an Indian Saint, appeared in my dreams in my 30’s, I call him my „spiritual father“ and see him as a mentor. I didn’t know about his fame, just felt and enjoyed his power and wise, silent presence. When I came across a book by Ramana Maharshi, each word I read touched my very essence and I deeply understood and connected to the truth within it. Since 2012 I have spent some weeks in India every year, which I call “spiritual nourishment”. I value the spiritual guidance of Amma as a living Master. I use different sources of inspiration, among them: nature, my inner connection to Jesus Christ, which has existed since my early childhood, the Integral Philosohpie by Ken Wilber, Drunvalo Melchizedek’s teachings. My soul is taking a deep, true spiritual path in which the focus on the Great Mystery, Spirit, and God who always stands in the center.
