Compassionate Support for Every Journey​
I am an accredited mediator and coach (Free University Berlin), guided by a deep belief in the power of empathy and connection.
My additional training in non-violent communication inspires me to explore the shared human needs that live beneath our emotions—needs like independence, growth, and belonging. In every session, I hold space to explore your needs with compassion, curiosity, and care.
​
During my Psychology courses at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, I gained a deeper understanding of attachment, cognitive patterns, and mental health, further shaping the way I support you on your journey.
​
Living in Europe, Africa, and South America offered me the gift and challenge of experiencing different customs, values, and ways of being.
This journey led me to complete an MSc in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford, UK— a continuation of my commitment to understanding and honoring different ways of being.

Learn to communicate in a clear, compassionate way!
Having worked as a Communication Manager for the University of Cambridge, UK furthered my understanding of effective communication tools and processes. ​
In addition to my independent work with clients, I was employed as Family Mediator by a UK charity. By using creative tools, I empowered parents and young people to resolve their conflicts in a more open and empathetic way. These experiences deepened my ability to support you finding clearer, more compassionate ways to communicate and navigate conflict.

Mum of 3: I hold space for your emotions
Being a mom of three young children (including twins) has taught me to stay present through big emotions. I also learned to listen beyond words and hold space for different needs at once. Thus, in my sessions emotions are welcome and complexity is met with patience, empathy, and care.
​
Additionally, my coaching for parents is grounded in real life experiences. My aim is not to tell you how to parent, but to walk alongside you as you uncover your own clarity and confidence.
​​​My intercultural sensitivity: Deepen your relationship!
In addition to completing my MSc in Cultural Anthropology (Oxford University), I have continuously challenged my own cultural beliefs and customs - be it when staying in a traditional hut of the Maasai tribe in Tanzania, sitting in a penthouse overlooking the Ipanema beach in Brazil, or receiving sacred rituals for my traditional wedding in South India.
​
While living in seven countries I felt the confusion and frustration associated with intercultural communication dozens of times. Additionally, my husband is from South India, thus, I live the adventure of raising 3 small children in an intercultural marriage on a daily basis. It requires a lot of openness; I try not to make any assumptions but instead to ask: “what do you associate with this word/food/clothes?”
​
In our sessions, I invite you to reflect on you own cultural values and how these shape your perception of situations and behaviours of others. This increased self-awareness will help you to better understand your partner and allow you to connect deeper with your partner.
