About myself
After having worked through my own suffering and pain via psychotherapy ( Nobody comes unscathed through childhood, nor did I) I was so relieved and enthusiastic that I wanted to share this experience with others. In 1995 I finished my studies in Occupational Therapy , specialized in mental health and worked for example in a womens therapy Center, a refuge for homeless women and vocational training for troubled youth. I was always driven by the question
What makes us sick and what makes us healthy again?
What makes us sad, desperate and depressed
and what helps to make us happy and joyful again?
Traditional medicine only had limited answers. Even psychotherapy seemed to be limited. So my search for answers went on.
After the unexpected deaths of my father, mother, brother and a dear friend in 2001 all within one year my search for answers became even stronger. I got initiated in Usui Reiki level 1 and 2 and other forms of Reiki. I developed a deeper interest in energetic work and did a training in energetic healing with Herbert and Brigitte Hoffmann in Weilheim, Germany. Herbert had worked as a professional healer for over forty years and Brigitte had more than 20 years of experience. They had studied with healers all over the world. The teachings included aura cleansing and charging, working with Chrystals, Clearing of Energies, Sai Shakti Healing, Spine-Treatment, Distant Healing based on Daskalos, working on relational bonds and so on. Whilst continuing working as an occupational therapist in mental health I gave energetic healing mainly to family and friends.
My interest in Yoga and it´s energetic benefits grew and I did a Yoga Teacher Training in 2011. It was focused on Yoga Therapy and was taught by Dr. Omanand, Indore, India. I realized the strong effects of Pranayama on my own emotional wellbeing and started to integrate Yoga and Pranayama in my work with people suffering from mental health problems- with amazing results.
Becoming 50 years old I felt the need for a profound change in my life.
I stopped working as an OT and went to the spiritual and ecological Findhorn Community in Scotland where I had been doing several programs over the previous decades .
And I decided, from now on to strictly follow my heart and to go where the most joy and fun is.
Following this instinct, things developed quite differently from how I had planned or expected. “The Magic of Findhorn” worked for me. Surprisingly, I found myself doing a ten month healer training with Tjitze de Jong, Findhorn, Scotland. A Dutch healer who came to Findhorn 25 years ago and completed the Barbara Brennan Healing School in America where he was trained both as healer and as teacher of the Barbara Brennan Healing Science. He developed the so called ”Bodies of Light” and "Advanced Bodies of Light" healer trainings which he founded in 2007. Very profound and deep trainings in energetic healing, that are also intense personal processes. It changes lifes literally....
These two years of training brought me back into energetic healing and with a much deeper sense of knowledge and inspiration than ever before.
In deep gratitude to all of my teachers and their teachers,
to my fellow students and my clients.
