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.

That turning point came when both my mother and sister were diagnosed with cancer. Their illnesses awakened something cellular in me—a knowing that I couldn’t outrun the pain patterns I’d inherited. I realized that fulfillment wouldn’t come from chasing dreams externally, but from confronting what was out of balance in the feminine lineage of my family. I turned inward.

 

I became an accredited practitioner of The Journey™ in 2006 and began the deep work of clearing intergenerational trauma, not just for others—but in myself. It was then I saw clearly: I had unconsciously lived out the same psychological imprint my mother had modeled—a quiet martyrdom, wrapped in love and service, but ultimately rooted in fear.

My higher self gave me an ultimatum: either change the pattern, or follow the same fate. From 2013–2019, that moment of truth led me to consciously uncouple a 20-year marriage—not out of rebellion, but as an act of reclamation. I waived alimony as a radical act of self-trust—to rewire my survival blueprint, reclaim my earning power, and step fully into leadership while preserving the integrity of our family structure.

That chapter taught me that deep DNA healing must be paired with the rewiring of the unconscious. Only then can the inner truth become the life we actually live.

Eventually, I found myself living my dream—secure, creatively expressed, and working with high-level clients. But even there, in the most evolved versions of success, I saw the old imprint show up: the subtle self-abandonment, the quiet sacrifice for peace. And I realized—the deepest pattern was still playing out.

That’s when the full circle became clear: the original dream—to show the inner work—was not a youthful illusion. It was the call. Only now, I’m answering it with the wisdom of lived experience. Not to prove anything. Not to make a name. But because I care deeply. About this planet. About the human journey. And I believe it’s time we told the truth about what it really takes to heal—and evolve.

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., I’ve gained a visceral understanding of how influence is built—and how easily it can become severed from soul. And yet, I still believe in the original spark: the vision of liberty, of possibility, of a society shaped by those brave enough to imagine something better. I believe in the peaceful courage it now takes to reclaim that promise—not through domination and noise, but through depth and integrity.

Today, I live and work in California. I am the proud mother of two daughters—one grown, one still at home—and I continue to write, mentor, and develop creative projects with aligned leaders across sectors.
