Why I do this work
My personal story.
For me, there is something deeply moving about witnessing people come into closer contact with themselves and with who they are at their core. This interest has been with me for a long time and eventually led me into relational work, emotional intelligence, trauma-informed approaches and coaching.
Over the years, I experienced how much can change when we begin to understand ourselves more deeply and relate to ourselves and others with greater awareness. For several years, I also worked as a coach for The School of Life, bringing many of these ideas into the fields of emotional intelligence and leadership.
In 2023, a personal experience inspired me to begin writing children’s books about nonviolent communication, nervous system regulation and empathy. That later grew into writing for adults as well, including The Art of Relating.
What working with me may feel like
Clear, spacious and curious.
I aim to offer a way of working that is warm without becoming vague, and focused without forcing a process.
We stay curious
Recurring patterns are explored as intelligent adaptations rather than something that needs to be changed.
We work with what is present
Rather than analysing the past, we explore what is happening now and what becomes possible from there.
Experience & training
I enjoy continuous learning.
I have worked as a coach and facilitator since 2018, supporting individuals, groups and organisations around relationships, communication, conflict and change.
My current work draws primarily on NARM®-informed practice, systemic coaching, embodiment and nonviolent communication.

A little beyond the work
Music and travel.
Currently I really enjoy learning to play the drums. I've been playing music for all my life and it's a beautiful way for me to connect with others, follow my creativity and just have a lot of fun. I have also been travelling very often through South and Central America, where my heart feels very much at home.
Both are doors into different worlds and I like to meet other people and places through music and travel.
