I grew up in an academic German household. Breaking the linear path and exploring who I am, and what is true for me took me years of work and courage.
Rediscovering the relationship to my feminine and what womanhood means for me, has been a winding road. Being raised by a feminist mother, who never allowed herself to break and by a father who strives for perfection, I had no idea of how to relate to my feelings. Unlocking the most tender and vulnerable part of me meant facing my biggest fear.
Having worked as an international model in the aggressive fashion industry in my 20’s left me feeling insecure, and totally disconnected from my body. It meant that I had to work through my disordered eating, face the loneliness that I was feeling, and learn to love myself from the inside out.
Being in a healthy relationship, first with myself, my partner and my family, meant facing some incredibly painful heartbreaks, saying some hard goodbyes, learning to take responsibility, owning some “ugly” parts of myself, and believing in my worthiness. (Obviously this is an ongoing process.)
I spent the last 10 years of my life vigorously working through these different parts of myself, multiple ceremonies, lot’s of training, plenty of hours of despair, a lot of practice, love and devotion towards myself, that now has become the foundation of my work.
So as I sit here, I’m dedicating my work to myself, to all my relations and to you!
