Steady ground, when everything is moving.

I accompany people through change, conflict and stress – bringing the structure of twenty years in tech together with a body-aware, deeply human way of working.

where coaching begins

Sometimes thinking alone isn't enough.

You're functioning – but something no longer holds.

You've achieved a lot and wonder where to next.

A decision is due, but the clarity isn't there.

You want to change something – but don't know where to start.

This is where we begin – exactly where your head already knows everything and something still won't move.

the approach

Structure meets humanity.

Two worlds that rarely come together: clear thinking in systems and processes – and a feel for what happens in the body and the nervous system. In my work, they belong together.

structure

Clarity & system

Twenty years in IT and open-source communities: governance, group dynamics, change processes. Together we find new order in what has become tangled.

humanity

Body & experience

Body psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing® taught me that lasting change goes beyond the mind. We take the nervous system seriously, not only the arguments.

what I work with

What people come to me with.

At work

When your work and role are in motion and you're looking for steady footing again.

  • decisions & direction
  • stress & exhaustion
  • transitions & new roles
  • leading yourself first

In life

When what you've achieved no longer feels quite congruent.

  • recurring patterns
  • more congruence
  • finding rest again
  • feeling more alive
about

From code to connection.

I started out as a software engineer and quickly turned toward people – the dynamics of teams and projects, especially volunteers in open-source communities. I know the fast-paced working life well.

During my sabbatical in 2017 I became a Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie. Today I bring both together: the structure of those years and a body-aware, human view of change.

how we start

The first step is a conversation.

01

A free first call

A short video call where we get to know each other and gain a first impression.

02

Clarify what matters

We look together at what you're bringing and whether my way of working fits you.

03

Online or in Berlin

From there we continue – online, or in my practice rooms in Berlin.
