The foundation and motivation of my work is a deep respect for people and their striving for continuous improvement. It is on these pillars that my practice stands.
How can I best support people to achieve their best so that they themselves maximize their potential?
„Serving people’s health“ was my initial thought. With an A-level diploma in hand I started studying medicine in Bonn. Before the start of the semester I completed a nursing internship at the Universitätsklinik für Innere Medizin, and worked during the semester as a nurses’ aid nightshifts and weekends. Through being in contact with patients and their families I realized, that often it was the circumstances that made people ill and that health meant more than just physical health. What should I study in order to understand the circumstances of people? I decided to study law. After completion of my first Staatsexamen I went from Hamburg, the gate to the world, to New Zealand where I earned an LLM in International Environmental Law from the University of Auckland. For my Referendariat and second Staatsexamen I returned to Hamburg. But my desire to learn more about the world, people and other cultures was still paramount. For 15 years I lived in many different countries and cultures and worked as mediator: New Zealand, Ethiopia, South Africa, Rwanda, Australia and last but not least in Myanmar where I worked for the UN.
The world is still my oyster, but Germany is home. Back in Germany I worked for two years at my alma mater the Universität Hamburg before becoming a defense attorney. I was a defense attorney with heart and soul however the second pillar of my conviction, striving for continuous improvement, did not play a vital role in my daily experience.
I focused on what was dear to my heart: to best help people live to their full potential so that they can achieve their maximum potential.
By now it was even more clear to me that the key lies in the circumstances and experiences of people, in their mental wellbeing and the wellbeing of their soul, in themselves and their innermost unique strengths. Through decades of Ashtanga Yoga practice and meditation I had learned how body and mind are connected, that mindfulness plays a vital role, yet the ultimate power lies within the unconscious. I gained the qualification to work as psychotherapist and learned excellent, minimally invasive and maximally effective tools to optimally heal peoples’ mental and psychological stresses.
My work as a psychotherapist and mental trainer is my profession. My expertise is clinical hypnosis.
And so I now do exactly what I am meant to do and what I have always been drawn to: I serve people’s health and wellbeing. I help patients transform the circumstances and experiences that cause stress, and often make them ill, by connecting them with their own inner strength.
