I have been working for over 25 years as a coach and confidential advisor with professionals, leaders, and teams in a wide range of organizations and sectors. Before that, I worked in consultancy and spent several years abroad as a teacher and trainer. I move easily between people, roles, and levels.
After all these years, I still find my profession fascinating. My curiosity about what drives people, why we do what we do, and how behavior, patterns, and choices influence one another remains undiminished. With my open way of thinking, I continue to discover new perspectives and challenge myself to look beyond what is familiar.
In addition to my work, I enjoy being outdoors in nature, exercising, practicing yoga, reading, and good food. In winter, I like to seek out cold water. I am the mother of three adult children and cherish the moments with my family and dear friends.

Working style
My approach is focused on getting to the core quickly and on what is needed now. I respond ad hoc to coaching questions and to whatever arises in the moment. Honest, decisive, and genuine. Together we determine what fits, based on your questions, needs, and goals. You always remain in control of your own development.
Where heaviness, complexity, or discomfort is present, I approach people and organizational issues with sincere attention and professionalism. At the same time, my humor, sense of perspective, and a touch of playfulness help create space, lightness, and movement. The result: clarity and lightness, concrete tools, always while preserving individuality.
