About me
I’ve been there.
I’ve been curious about the human mind for as long as I can remember. As a child I wanted to become a psychologist, to make sense of our humanness and help others.
That curiosity led me to many paths. Martial arts, yoga, therapy. Years of reading, journaling, studying, trying to understand myself.
I became very good at analysing my patterns, I could even trace them back to where they started. I had tools. Insight. Still I felt stuck.
Things would shift for a while.
Then, quietly, they would return.
I became frustrated. I started to blame myself for lacking discipline or willpower. Until I realised something fundamental:
Understanding myself was not enough to change.
The deeper shifts in my life didn’t come from pushing harder or by analysing more. They came when something inside me felt safe enough to loosen its grip.
So change began to happen in a different way. Not by forcing myself, but by meeting the different parts of myself.
The real shift started when I stopped trying to fight myself.
Change turned out to be far less dramatic than I expected. It looked like something quieter.
Self-trust building slowly. The nervous system learning that the present is safer than the past.
The small promises I would keep to myself. The hard conversations I was no longer avoiding. The learning to stay with the uncomfortable feelings.
Until the old patterns no longer needed to hold so tightly. And as they loosen their grip a new form of life could emerge.
A life I am truly choosing, filled with freedom, clarity and peace.
Why I do this work now
Over the years I’ve watched how hard people try to change themselves.
They read more. Analyse more. Push more.
And when the same patterns return, they assume something is wrong with them.
Nothing is wrong with them. Nothing is wrong with you.
Most resistance is not sabotage.
It is protection.
Many people are not stuck because they lack insight, but because something in them still doesn’t feel safe enough to release what once helped them survive.
Real change rarely happens through force.
It happens in spaces where there is enough safety, honesty, and presence for something old to soften.
It’s usually less dramatic than people expect.
But far more lasting.
That is the kind of space I create in my work.
A space where uncomfortable feelings are held,
where self-trust can grow again,
where change comes through softening not fighting harder.
My background
My work grew out of several paths that eventually converged around the same question: what actually allows people to change.
I first studied political science and engineering, which shaped the way I think about systems, complexity, and the environments that influence human behaviour.
Later I trained in counselling with the full psychotherapy training pathway. That experience deeply shaped how I understand emotional protection, relational patterns, and long-term change.
At the same time, the body was always part of the work. I’ve been teaching yoga and somatic practices for more than a decade.
Another thread that has become increasingly important to me is my relationship with plants. I’m currently training in herbalism and learning directly from the living world, which continues to influence how I think about healing and integration
Before focusing more fully on this field, I spent fifteen years working internationally in complex project environments. That experience gave me a direct understanding of pressure, responsibility, burnout and the limits of purely intellectual approaches to change.
Today these strands come together in the way I work with people.
When understanding yourself isn’t enough anymore.
If you have been struggling with repeating patterns, feeling stuck or lacking clarity, or like you have it all on paper but are still missing something,
This is your invitation to enter a different space.
A space where you can soften, a space to meet the most tender parts of yourself , a space to build inner saftey.
