Honor your sensitivity, it’s a gift.
Welcome your emotions, they are a doorway.

My Story
As a sensitive and an empath, I was born into a dysfunctional family. Being exposed to violence and neglect and having to go through it without real guidance, I dissociated in order to survive. As a child I found life very difficult and lonely and developed all kinds of unconscious strategies to feel somehow seen, loved and safe. I was the parent in my family, overly responsible and was, like many other empaths, a big pleaser.
At the same time, there was also a strong connection with my soul and with the energetic world that guided me through all this darkness. I would have out of body experiences, know things without beforehand knowledge or see things others couldn't see. Despite the hardships, there was a fire and a desire within me to make this world a more loving one.
As an adult, I felt stuck in this repetitive cycle of disconnection and trauma. I was focussed on going to university, trying to build a career and live a material life. But unhealed trauma kept knocking on my door, showing up as toxic & abusive relationships, a lack of self-love, addictions, eating disorders, self-destructive behaviors, loneliness and not feeling at home within myself, my body or this world.
Until I couldn’t anymore. Something deeply shattering happened, a turning point where life brought me to my knees. I knew I needed help to heal myself and surrender to the inevitable. I found help and have been devoted to my inner healing journey ever since.
Step by step I reconnected to my essence, feeling through all the layers of trauma, recognizing the conditioning. All those masks that were once there to protect me from hurt and pain falling away with a gentleness and an understanding. Through connecting with my inner child I found my innocence, joy and creativity again. And this is an ongoing process in the school of life! Today I assist other empaths and sensitives on their healing journey.
