A holistic view of the person
As a neuroscientist (M.Sc.) and psychologist (B.Sc.), it is particularly important to me to keep a holistic view when working with people.
In doing so I draw on both the latest findings from the neurosciences and on age-old mindfulness traditions such as Zen.

My values
Two values guide how I live and how I work:
The first is personal freedom — the freedom we can only earn ourselves, by mindfully noticing automatic impulses and learned patterns, and then consciously choosing what we want to act on.
The second value that matters deeply to me is kindness — a supportive, constructive way of relating to those around us and to society, and above all a compassionate, encouraging gaze toward ourselves.
To accept life, to unfold who we are and to take our own path takes courage. I am glad to support you and your team in meeting your challenges with calm and confidence, in strengthening mental and physical health, and in bringing your visions and goals into being.
In her words
"It may not be easy to change familiar patterns of behaviour in order to fully use our potential. Yet our brain remains highly plastic at every age, and we always have the possibility to keep growing and, ultimately, to unfold freely. I would love to support you on your path of personal growth."
