Why hypnosis?

In 2017, I stumbled upon hypnosis almost by accident.

I was simply looking for a way to overcome my fear of blood tests – and found something that changed my entire life.

A single session not only dissolved my fear, but opened a new world of awareness. I realized: change doesn’t happen through pressure, but through trust: trust that everything we need is already within us.

Today I work with hypnosis because it makes exactly this possible: depth without overwhelm, transformation without struggle. A sense of arriving from within.

My Path to This Work

Born in the Ruhr area of Germany, I now live in Christchurch, New Zealand – a place where I learned how healing it can be to slow down and simply be.

I knew early on that I wanted to work with people. And yet my path first led me elsewhere: from university into project management, from functioning into exhaustion.

Motherhood marked the beginning of a new phase, a time when old certainties crumbled and questions grew louder.

Who am I when I’m not functioning? What does it truly mean to be alive? Where do unwanted behaviors come from – and what can I do to change them?

These questions became the starting point of my real work – not only professionally, but personally.

My approach

In my work, hypnosis, coaching, and nervous system understanding come together.

I create spaces where you can rediscover yourself: calm, clear, connected.
It’s not about becoming perfect. It’s about becoming real.

I accompany you in recognizing old patterns, listening to your body, and rebuilding trust in yourself.

Qualifications & Values

I work professionally, mindfully, and transparently.

I believe healing begins where you allow yourself to become still. In that stillness, you meet your true self – and that changes everything.
