Helping leaders lead with integrity, clarity, and depth.
I work at the intersection of personal transformation and systemic clarity. My role is to help leaders, visionaries, and creatives align their inner world with the outer structures they are building—so their leadership doesn’t cost them their health, their truth, or their relationships.
This is not therapy. It’s not coaching as usual. It’s a high-trust, high-integrity partnership that brings together clear thinking, grounded spiritual intelligence, and deep psychological insight.
For those navigating complexity, power, or responsibility—and wanting to do so with conscience and real alignment—this work offers a place to slow down, listen clearly, and begin again from what’s true.
About Me
I was raised between Germany and Australia, in a family shaped by post-war inquiry, moral philosophy, and cultural change. My father, a sociologist and theologian, spent his life studying systems and the psychology of power. My mother was a somatic psychotherapist with a deep sensitivity to what lived beneath the surface. From them, I inherited both a rigorous mind and an attuned heart.
But I also inherited contradictions. Intellectualism without embodiment. Authority without listening. Sensitivity without structure. And so my path became one of integration—of resolving the split between brilliance and presence, between service and selfhood.
After losing both my mother and sister to cancer, my work deepened. I trained in The Journey Method™ in 2006 and began guiding others through profound emotional clearing and ancestral healing. Over time, my work expanded to include strategic consulting, story development, and leadership realignment for high-level creatives, entrepreneurs, and founders.
I have lived and worked across three continents. From Germany, I carry the weight and clarity of historical reckoning. From Australia, a deep respect for land, story, and intuition. From the U.S., an understanding of how influence is built—and how easily it can lose its soul.
Today, I live and work in California, with one daughter grown and one still at home. I continue to write, mentor, and develop creative projects with aligned leaders across sectors.
