Who am I?

I am a Citizen of the World, a Nomad, and Aurovilian in heart.

My journey has been one of many lives within a single incarnation. Born in Germany, I studied Tourism and Hotel Management in Austria, then traveled the world working in the hospitality industry – throughout Europe, South-East Asia for a decade, to France and beyond. But somewhere along the way, I realized that what I thought was success wasn’t bringing me alive.

It was after a breakdown – what some might call depression or a midlife crisis – that I understood something crucial: what I’d always experienced as being “too sensitive” was actually my greatest gift. That realization changed everything. I left the corporate world and followed the signs back to France, where I trained to become a certified Psycho-Somatotherapist in 2008.

For the past 20+ years, I’ve been practicing as a Therapist and Trainer. This work chose me as much as I chose it – I needed therapy myself to truly understand the path I was walking. It was the beginning of my transformation, and I’m still learning every day.

Ten years ago, the signs led me to Auroville, an intentional spiritual community in South India where over 60 nationalities were building Human Unity, guided by the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo. There, I wove together every skill and wisdom I’d accumulated – using my practice as a therapist while serving the community in various roles.

Today, I am leaving Auroville with grief, but I remain Aurovilian in my heart, carrying all its richness with me into the world. Now based in Italy, I am expanding my work: alongside my 12-week online Emotional Restoration program for small groups, I am opening Holistic Touch, in-person bodywork that honors the healing power of presence and deep listening. It is an extension of my therapeutic work – a way to meet people in their bodies, where tension holds stories and touch can restore wholeness.

I learned that I have always been in Exile – as so many of us are. But I also learned that I am a Nomad who takes her roots along and plants them wherever needed. This is what I now help others discover: how to find their way back to themselves, and how to carry their essence, their portable roots, wherever life takes them.

I am grateful for every encounter, every teaching, every experience that has shaped this journey. Watch my Videos to find out more about the work I do.
