my story
As a child, I always felt like I didn’t belong.
I was living in my own little dream world that I built. I was playing a lot in nature and had an interest in witches, dragons, and fairies, which is why I got laughed at in school. So, I stopped doing my own rituals, started hiding that spiritual part in me. I never felt at home in Germany so I left when I was 16 and went to a boarding school in England. My grandmother died while I was there. Then after studying I went back to Germany because my father was very ill, and he died when I was 22.
Getting married and battling depression
I got married the next year and I fell into a deep depression. Therapy didn’t really help but when I started with Yoga it was the first time that I felt like I could connect with myself. I realized if I am strong enough to almost destroy myself, I can also heal myself. I also realized that I wasn’t only depressed because I lost my dad but because of everything that was lying underneath that: all my insecurities, my low self-esteem, fear of losing people I love, being left alone, my victim role, and losing the meaning of life.
the statement that made my world crumble
I started to get better and decided to move with my husband (at that time) to Mexico because his job was sending him there. We had only been there a few months when all of a sudden, he didn’t want to be in this marriage anymore. So, my entire world crumbled down again. This time I didn’t want to hide in a cocoon of depression and victim mentality, so I decided to start again from zero. I stayed in Mexico alone with two dogs, my visa linked to his, my car in his name, no real job, no house, but really good friends and the certainty that I will come out of this stronger. It was almost harder to accept than the loss of my dad because my dad didn’t have a choice to leave, but this man who I loved more than anything had willingly decided to not be a part of my life anymore (and he wasn’t dead).
I am now divorced, with a fur baby who’s been my companion for the last 8 years.
I stayed 4 years in Mexico because being on my own, having to figure life out without help from my family, made me learn and grow so much. The people I met and the experiences I had could never be compensated. Then last year I decided to move temporarily to Mallorca, Spain because my family moved here. I had my first Ayahuasca experience in February 2022 (still in Mexico). I always thought before I don’t need this medicine because I have worked so hard on my healing. . . what good is this going to do?
But when I did try Ayahuasca, it felt like home. It felt like I finally found my way back to remembering who I really am in my essence without the roles that society put on me. I felt connected to everyone and everything. I always knew I had spirit animals but I never knew them personally. This was the first time I saw them and I felt them and I knew that they would always protect me.
The healing journey continues. And it deepens.
I went to another ayahuasca retreat in Mallorca with my sister and it was again so beautiful that I decided to enroll in a one-year Shaman Project, which just finished in March in Colombia.
I have had many different jobs, I was an assistant to the German Consul in Mexico, a Personal Assistant to a German CEO, translator, interpreter, German Teacher but nothing ever really fulfilled me.
The courage to go all in
I was initially too scared to build my own business and really put myself out there, but now after working with plant medicine for a year I am not scared anymore. I know that this is my path. I have gone through so much personal pain and trauma, and also generational trauma that I have carried from the women in my family where there has been a lot of sexual abuse.
I have liberated myself from that and I am still learning and growing and healing but I want to hold space and guide other women through their healing journey, so that they can live a more conscious and happy life.
In my Women’s Circles, we are coming together to support each other by sharing our own struggles. It is always combined with meditation, journaling, and sharing.
And if you feel called to heal too, I can’t wait to guide you into that path of liberation.
