Who Am I?

The question “Who am I?” has accompanied me since my youth and reflects my deep need to understand myself and the world. I first stumbled upon it through my sense of being different and my longing for belonging.

During my doctoral studies in mathematics, I began to explore the wilderness of my soul more deeply. I explored my wounds, discovered paths to healing, and found access to spaces that foster inner growth. Since 2019, I have been accompanying others on their journey of transformation—guided by my passion for learning, my quest for self-knowledge, and my deep love for our planet Earth, which so generously provides me with a home.

My Professional Journey

I initially studied mathematics in Munich, followed by a doctorate in Passau. In parallel, I actively engaged with the DPSG Scouts at the regional and diocesan levels. Alongside my intensive exploration of the mystical traditions of world religions, I gained first experiences with shamanic rituals and systemic constellations.

One day, when I came to understand the fragmentation of my life—shimmering beautifully in the colors of the rainbow but yearning to be harmoniously integrated—I painfully realized that my existence required a new and personal response to life. Cradled in the arms of Mother Earth, I felt safe enough to surrender once again to the question “Who am I?” as a sensitive, human being. Following my curiosity about being human, I embarked on a new journey.

My Approach Today

On this journey, I collected many tools that not only helped me better understand my world but also enabled me to guide others on their own journeys. A psychology degree in Vienna, a four-year Gestalt therapy training in Nuremberg, and profound experiences with nature-based and indigenous healing practices in Brazil and Peru enriched my life. I value the insights of psychology, which scientifically addresses the complexity of human experience and behavior; I value the diversity of Gestalt therapy, which is deeply attentive to individuals; and I value the originality and wisdom of indigenous traditions, which speak the natural language of the soul.

These experiences have shaped my approach and form the foundation of my work today. I integrate these methods into a holistic offering for personal development and healing. My goal is to provide you with a safe space where you can feel your inner truth and shape your unique path with clarity and courage.

My Experience

With my life journey, I combine unconventional experiences and scientific expertise to support you in your personal development. My approach is relational, integrating both emotional and physical sensations. Additionally, I trust in the power of shamanic rituals.

Since 2020, I have been offering shamanic seminars and rituals with Isha in Vienna and Sardinia through our Life School Artejanis. I am also actively involved in a research project on psychotherapy for Gestalt therapy. In my master’s thesis, I explored the therapeutic potential of Ayahuasca for adults with traumatic childhood experiences.
