Welcome
Welcoming everything is a principle I strive for and invite you to embrace. Coaching, for me, is not about offering advice on what you could do better or change about yourself. Instead, I believe real transformation comes from welcoming everything—creating space for the implicit to become explicit, the unexpressed expressed, and the unconscious conscious.
I see my role as a guide, supporting you as your own answers emerge from within—answers that connect you to yourself, help you discover your unique path, and allow you to fully embrace that journey, with all the shades a human life has to offer.
​
This coaching is for brave individuals who want to cultivate confidence, inner freedom, and authentic connection in relationships—with themselves and with others. I believe that the better we know ourselves*, the more aligned and fulfilling our relationships become.
​
* In our wholeness—this is why I work somatically, defining "soma" as "the living body in its wholeness."
Cultivate confidence, inner freedom & authentic connection - to self & others.
The following 3 pillars are the focus of my work—emphasized more or less, depending on where your nervous system is currently at and what your goals are.
01
Somatic Experiencing®
A body-centered approach to integrating trauma and stress conditions. It aims to develop a flexible nervous system that can tolerate activation, process strong emotions and fear responses, and naturally return to a regulated state. By focusing on bodily sensations, SE helps release stored survival energy, fostering resilience, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
02
Parts-Work
A framework that explores the different “parts” or aspects of an individual's inner experience. It helps identify and understand these parts, particularly those shaped by past trauma or stress-related challenges. Parts Work supports individuals in resolving inner conflicts, embracing all aspects of themselves, and achieving greater emotional balance.
03
Authentic Relating
A practice that fosters deeper connections through honesty, empathy, and presence. By cultivating open communication and self-awareness, AR helps individuals build trust, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. AR encourages genuine expression and the creation of meaningful, human connections.
Themes we may explore:
Boundaries
Self-worth
Trusting yourself
Attachment styles
Desire for a partner and intimacy
Emotional empowerment
Heart's dreams & purpose
Family dynamics
Loneliness
Sexuality
Body image
...and what will come up for you.
My Story
Relationships used to be the area of my life where I experienced the greatest confusion and pain. I often felt alone, even among many friends—sad while I smiled, pretending to be cool while feeling deeply hurt. Looking back, I realize I wasn’t just disconnected from others; I was disconnected from myself. That self-rejection and inner emptiness eventually led me to hit rock bottom and make drastic changes.
​
I stepped away from the path I had been walking and shook the main pillars (career, friends, home, family) upon which I had built my identity. I've been seeking answers in spirituality, psychology and creativity - gradually have been softening and opening up to what truly makes me feel connected and free, slowly reclaiming my natural confidence.
​
As I began to change how I related to myself—the way I related to others also transformed. I continue to explore the mystery of human relationships and feel grateful to do so with curiosity now. Even more, I’m thankful to accompany others on their own journeys.
