My Passion: Empowering People, Supporting Change,
Opening New Perspectives
 

More than 20 years in leadership roles at international DAX-listed companies have shaped my professional experience.

Leadership, communication, and supporting people through periods of change have always been central to my work. In an international and intercultural environment, I have experienced how important trust, clarity, and a genuine appreciation of each individual are – especially in challenging situations.

​

Today, I combine this extensive experience with my expertise as a Health & Medical Coach.

I support people through health-related crises and periods of change, as well as in returning to work after a prolonged illness.

​

There are moments when life seems to divide into a before and an after.      A conversation with a doctor, a diagnosis, or a quiet sense of exhaustion that gradually becomes a constant companion.

​

In times like these, medical care alone is often not enough. What is also needed is a safe space, someone who truly listens, and professional support that provides stability and guidance.

My own experiences with illness and crisis – also within my family – have shown me how transformative respectful and empathetic guidance can be. This is where Medical Coaching comes in.

Medical Coaching is a holistic process that helps people manage the emotional and psychological impacts of illness. It is designed to strengthen self-efficacy, improve coping in uncertain times, and enhance quality of life – even in the face of ongoing health challenges.

As a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), I adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards. 

I am a Professional Health & Medical Coach certified by the Health & Medical Coaching Institute (HMCI), a trained Co-Active Coach and wingwave® Coach, with additional qualifications in systemic coaching, NLP, and stress and burnout coaching.

​

My understanding of coaching is clear: Coaching is not simply a technique, but a mindset – mindful, professional, and genuinely supportive – creating the foundation for sustainable change.

​What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I live in the countryside in southern Germany, just south of Frankfurt, with my French partner, a proud Spanish horse, and a mischievous cat. Nature, movement, art, and stillness are sources of strength and inspiration for me – and often also for my clients. They remind me that change is part of life – and that even in uncertainty, new possibilities are always within reach.
