my journey
Ever since I was little, I loved spending time playing, admiring and bonding with nature. The trees in our garden became my safe and happy place. My best memories are of driving through beautiful landscapes, having adventures in and holidays surrounded by nature. When I was choosing a career, I realized how much I loved and cared deeply about people and became a psychotherapist. Sitting working in a practice room was never my end goal. My longing was to work outdoors and to combine my passion for nature with my work and passion for people.
I am knowledgeable about nature and thrilled by how nature is always available and transforming if you let it. For a while I was a nature and tour guide. I observed how people were happier, more relaxed and open to change when in nature.
I was also eager to find ways to have a truly authentic and connected relationship after experiencing disappointing relationships in my own life. I then trained in Imago Relationship Therapy and Encounter Centered Couples Transformation. After exploring this for years I know that Real connection is possible. I am enthusiastic to share this with others. What inspires me is to see people’s ability to make crucial changes. I always see possibility for growth and with many years’ experience and wide knowledge I have an excellent ability to move and motivate people.
