I am naturally curious about people, places, and experiences, which drives my love for exploring—whether through travel, climbing, hiking, live music, or deep conversations. At the same time, I find stability in long-term commitments, having been in a 22-year relationship (and counting) and dedicated to my work with people for just as long.
My passion lies in discovering new perspectives on what we already think we know, both in life and in my work. When working one-on-one, I strive to be a mirror—offering honest insights and provoking questions within a framework of kindness. In working with groups my vision is to bridge formal and non-formal education with ease and playfulness.
Guided by intuition, I support people reconnecting with their true selves, believing that we all have the resilience and resources to be successful and happy—we just need to find new ways to access them.
