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 and coaching career began in competitive ski racing, where I was first introduced to mental training, visualization, and breathwork-techniques that gave me a competitive edge. Little did I know the paths these roles as athlete & coach would evolve and develop throughout my career.  

​

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 many 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 and businesses, from fields and slopes, to consulting for global organizations. After coaching the German Women’s National Lacrosse Team, I co-founded national training and development camps, and formally launched SEELEDU offering 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 share with others: resilience, self-compassion, and adaptability.

​

 In 2018, all my degrees and certifications were formally federally recognized by the German Kultusminister Konferenz, allowing me to expand my work internationally. In addition to my work with SEELEDU, I am also currently studying as a naturopath, further deepening my commitment to integrative health and traditional wisdom.
