Change is difficult. Whether it's a career change, illness or a life crisis, my mission is to guide and equip you with tools to navigate change effectively and smoothly.
I use Rapid Transformational Therapy and coaching, supporting you through your process, so you can find your authentic self again.
What qualifies me to support you?
My experience
When I look back on my life today, I am grateful for everything that happened - the good and the hard.
I have experienced childhood trauma, loss and grief, lack of self-esteem, anxiety, depression and addictions to cope with these hardships.
I have had success at work, failure in my personal life, broken marriages, being a single mother... this doesn't necessarily sound like things to be grateful for, but I am.
All these experiences have taught me what I am not, so that I can finally recognize who I really am.
No matter what you are going through, I can understand and empathise with you, but I also know that there is a way out that you may not see yet. I'll show you the door so you can go your own way.
Formal education
On my personal path I have learned a lot about the psyche, the body, the mind and human needs.
I looked at different therapy methods and learned that you cannot separate the mind from the body.
I have dealt a lot with nutrition and nutritional supplements and I have learned about the role of aminoacids in depression as well as the importance of spending time in nature.
I've turned mindfulness and meditation into routines and I have also tried alternative healing methods.
Nonetheless, I did formal training to solidify my learnings and I have successfully completed Marisa Peer's "Rapid Transformational Therapy Professional" (RTT) course as well as Dr. Gabor Maté's "Healing Trauma and Addiction for Professionals".
My methods
Rapid Transformational Therapy
Rapid Transformational Therapy is a modern method that uses neuroscience, Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), classical psychotherapy and hypnosis to bring you to your desired goal within a very short time (as few as 1 to 3 two hour sessions). RTT is particularly efficient and has won many awards. In some countries, RTT is not yet recognised as an independent therapy method and therefore it is not covered by the health insurance companies yet, but that doesn't make the method any less popular and successful.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that occurs, for example, before falling asleep or after waking up. In contrast to what you often see on television, the hypnotised person does have control over what is happening at all times and will never do anything that does not correspond to their morals.
What happens in hypnosis, is that the part of our ego, the one who constantly criticises, judges and evaluates us, is muted and we can more easily gain access to the cause of our pain or trauma. In this way we can intentionally positively reprogram the meaning that we have assigned to certain events.
Coaching
I also support you outside of the RTT sessions and will be there to virtually hold your hand through this self-developement journey. I will help you stay on track in order to achieve your goals and I will open doors for you by showing you ways and methods that have so far remained hidden from you. My goal for you is that you become whole, not dependent on me, anything or anyone.
Life counselling
Do you struggle to know where to start?
Are you in a life crisis, can't really see the next steps yet, don't know in which direction to go? I will help you work this out. We find out your subconscious wishes and work out a realistic plan so that you get more clarity, hope and feel energised.
Areas of expertise
Each of us is the sum of our life experiences and the secret is to find out how these experiences are related. I offer professional advice in the areas described below and more. However, if I can't help you, I'll refer you to a colleague who can.
Burn-out, Depression and Insomnia*
Depression is often a result of very self-critical thinking, coupled with a feeling of not being good enough and / or chronic stress + unresolved trauma.
Burn-out is the result of asking too much of yourself.
Insomnia mostly accompanies burn-out and depression.
We will look at your current situation together. Then we will use hypnosis to find out what triggered all of this. You will then receive a sound recording that you need to listen to every evening, with positive affirmations NLP that will strengthen you to achieve lasting results. If needed rinse and repeat.
Midlife Crisis
You've done everything society asked you to. You got the education, the career, the house, the car, the family.
But somehow that happy ever after never came. Now you ask yourself "Is that it? Surely there should be more to life..."
Everyone goes through this sooner or later in life, sometimes even twice. I'll help you get in touch with your inner desire again, and ignite the spark of passion that gives meaning to your life.
Addiction
Addiction is always a form of self-medication - it is the escape from an emotional pain. Today's view is that addiction is somehow a character flaw, that the addict has a choice. This point of view is outdated! Addiction is often what keeps people alive in difficult situations, as a cooping mechanism.
Let's find out together what the pain is you are trying to alleviate and resolve it so that this behaviour is an option, not a necessity, for you.
Autoimmune diseases *
Autoimmune diseases are diseases where the body attacks itself. It has been scientifically proven that there is a direct correlation between autoimmune diseases and stress, emotional pain, trauma. It is still often the case that conventional medicine does not yet take this correlation into account.
I can help you to find the cause and bring you closer to your healing. RTT does a fantastic job at commanding your body to heal.
Sexuality & Relationships
A topic that is still foolishly taboo, even though it's one of the most beautiful things that life has to offer.
Often, standard routine creeps into our partnerships and relationships the "magic" seems to fade. Sometimes we also go through phases where our body does not seem to function as it used to. Or maybe we've never had an orgasm that feels like fireworks.
Whatever your topic, no matter your sexual orientation, here you will find an unbiased, open ear and support, so that you enjoy your sexuality to the fullest.
* RTT is a very efficient method that is used worldwide but is not recognized as an independent therapy method in all countries. Although I have successfully completed my training as an RTT therapist, I am not a clinical psychotherapist, psychiatrist or medical doctor and therefore I will not make any diagnoses or make healing promises.
I use these methods to support you as a coach, in addition to the treatment prescribed to you by your medical doctor.
