It truly is a life long journey.

My Story 

My quest to discover wellbeing took me through many countries, career changes and work experiences. I searched in university libraries, did field research as a Graduate in schools around the world.  As a PhD student, sponsored by BMW AG I looked at corporate wellbeing and corporate social responsibility. I was guided, pushed and inspired by my doctoral advisors from Humboldt University Berlin and Stanford University USA. This research gave me a rich theory and evidence based background on which I continue to build.

 

As a consultant for wellbeing transformation in international schools I learned about the hiccups of wellbeing system change: many good intentions meet many organisational hurdles. I learned to appreciate the small-steps-matter approach and I understood that dedicated and professional leadership makes all the difference to initiate positive wellbeing change. 

 

On a holistic level,  I attended endless Yoga Master Classes, meditation courses and as a Yoga teacher I saw incredible change happening in people, when mental and physical awareness, reflection and opening came together. I became the apprentice of a holy man in the Himalayas, secluded in a cave and at the biggest spiritual gathering the Kumbha Mela in India to learn how devotion translates into deeper meaning and inner happiness. 

​

I am now at a stage where I integrate all of those teaching, stories and experiences. In my work I bring together head and heart. Skilfully and with devotion I offer myself wholeheartedly to this journey and the people I meet along the way. 

Wellbeing Leadership is not only obtained in the head, it sits in the body, in the emotions,
in the interactions and most of all
it sits deeply in your heart.
