I don’t fit into any box

 

And that’s exactly my strength.

I always preferred writing in my journal to solving math problems in school. But who did not, right? I was also the one who felt everything supposedly too deeply, thought differently and therefore never quite fit into the system. For many years, I tried to change that. I adapted, functioned, perfected. Studied. Smiled. Fought. But inside, I was getting emptier.

Eating disorders, depression, and exhaustion were no coincidences. They were the result of a life that had alienated me from myself.

Education & Professional Development

These experiences have shaped both who I am and how I work. They bring together structure and depth, knowledge and lived experience. Today, both flow into my coaching practice.

I found my way back to myself – not in a linear way, but in a multi-dimensional one.

What saved me? Not a radical break, but the courage to take all my sides seriously again. Today, I live not despite, but with my depth, versatility, and sensitivity.

I write books. I coach. I make YouTube videos. I move people. I create. I teach. I guide others in their healing. I keep studying, learning, teaching, living.

I teach creative writing, lead seminars on self-discovery and purpose. I develop coaching programs for multi-talented individuals. I write poetry about life, help people with traumatic experiences, lead retreats, co-create with nature, body, and purpose.

I live a life that is neither perfect nor linear, but it is authentic because it is mine.

Today, I guide people like you: sensitive, multifaceted, on the search for a life that truly feels authentic.

I’ve learned that the key is not in making a decision, but in understanding yourself.
Not in fixing yourself, but in reclaiming yourself.
Not in finally fitting in, but in trusting yourself.

With Roots & Wings I help you find your way back to yourself; emotionally stable, inner free, and full of self-confidence.
With the Ikigai Compass Coaching, I guide you in finding your place in life; between meaning, freedom, and structure.
