A Bit About My Journey

My life has always been shaped by movement, mindfulness, and transformation. As a child, I felt deeply connected to nature, spending hours grounding in mossy forests, watching the wind dance through the trees. My athletic career began in competitive ski racing, where I was first introduced to mental training, visualization, and breathwork—techniques that gave me a competitive edge.

​

Later, I was recruited as a goalie in lacrosse, where my mental discipline and resilience became my greatest assets. I trained relentlessly, competing at the highest levels and winning individual and team championships. However, years of intense sport, stress, and injury took their toll, leading me to yoga as a way to heal my body and mind.

​

My professional path has been equally dynamic. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Stonehill College (USA) and a Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Southern Maine (USA), with additional training in behavioral therapy, community mental health, educational psychology, and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR).

​

My career has taken me from clinical mental health settings to international schools, from private practice to consulting for global organizations. After coaching the German Women’s National Lacrosse Team, I transitioned into coaching and consulting in holistic health, resilience, and high performance.

As life often does, my path shifted when I fell in love and immigrated to Germany. This brought new challenges—learning a language, adapting to a new culture, and finding my place in a new country. Through it all, I practiced the very techniques I now teach: resilience, self-compassion, and adaptability.

​

Today, I run community wellness initiatives, continue to teach yoga through Turnverein (who first invited me to develop my German voice), and am deeply engaged in German cultural and healing traditions. In 2018, all my degrees and certifications were formally federally recognized by the German Kultusminister Konferenz, allowing me to expand my work internationally. I am currently studying as a naturopath, further deepening my commitment to integrative health and traditional wisdom.
