How I work
Listening and sharing. I use my intuition a lot, feeling what you feel and trying to make sense of it all. first off I want you to feel understood and cared for. Secondly try to find your own selflove to heal and arm you. Thirdly lets fix your problem now that you feel not alone and strong and loving enough.
Life experience
I’ve always been an explorer at heart and thanks to our education system went into the sciences early on, yet I never “lost” connection with the more messy parts of life.
As I grew older I grew more and more disillusioned about the present state of our sciences and culture at large, and I finally felt safe enough to explore all those beautiful larger than life emotions. From a hobby, it became an obsession and ended in a life goal to learn about myself, my inner workings, the traumas, the dreams and above all a quest to learn who I was and wanted to be.
All of this naturally led me to understanding the world around and seeing that deep down we are all not that different at all. We are wanting love, safety and honesty.
My life motto
There is no evil, just trauma
Tip for life
Asking for help is true strength. Trying to love yourself when you cannot ask for help yet is even truer strength.

Who am I?
If humour is your coping mechanism, or you simply love having a good laugh, I am the coach for you: I love long walks on the beach, memes and the magnificent 8th wonder of the world that is human emotions.
How has my life journey prepared me for this?
When they say people who study psychology just want to heal themselves, they are not wrong. I studied psychology, took a course as a healing practitioner for psychotherapy, I read mountains of books, I went to spirit healers in West Africa, shamans and even regular therapists. I refused to give up, even though I just could not find what I was looking for. Eventually I discovered the power of feelings and I will never go back to before. Suddenly the nonsense makes sense, and the unsolvable is solvable. I crawled so that now my coachees can speed run.
How I work
Life sucks, I know. But you know what doesn’t help most people? Analyzing what they need to change and then never doing it! Your feelings are the missing puzzle piece. You have to find out what is really in your way and then…love it? YUCK, you might think, but it’s not stupid if it works. I work with a mixture of styles like Internal Family Systems, Gamified Coaching, Gamification, Systemic psychology and Gestalt psychology.
Who I work with best
People who are willing to try out new things.
