Healing my own relations
In my TEDx talk I share one of my essential and defining moments where I got to put all my tools to practice. A break-up that lead me down into the depth of my own relationship wounds and called me to rise to the occasion. Creating a graceful conscious uncoupling experience for both of us and many that have been inspired since then.
Conscious relating came into my life as an inner answer to the many questions and challenges I faced since early on in life about how to better communicate, trust, belonging and collaboration.
There is a saying that the soul carefully chose a home and family for experiences with plenty of opportunities to grow and heal.
I always knew I’d work with love.
In a reflective December conversation a childhood friend reminded me that as teenager I already stated:
“I want to work with couples and relationships.”
Back then, I couldn’t find an academic path for that profession. So I followed the opportunities life gave me — and without consciously trying, life built my path of love.
I studied Economics, lived in Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, China, and the U.S., earned a Master’s in International Business at Babson College — one of the top global schools for entrepreneurship — and gave a TEDx Talk on conscious relating.
I thrive in high-performance environments, and I quickly realized something: everything comes down to relationships. The success of every launch, every leadership shift, every big idea — it all builts on human connections and interpersonal skills.
Coaching was the obvious next step.
I worked as consultant in corporate, start-ups, start-ups in multinationals, automotive, retail, energy, fashion, tech … and one thing became clear: Coaching was the obvious next step, working with leaders inner world to empower transformation.
I began a two-year on-site training in systemic coaching — complete with constellation work, transactional analysis, and real-world depth.
And what stood out most?
People opened up to me.
About trust wounds, their relationships, childhood trauma, power dynamics, unspoken tension, miscommunication, unmet needs. What happened in private was in deed impacting their work life – and vice versa!
I became the coach I was looking for.
In parallel, I was in my most transformative relationship of that time — and we wanted to get it right. We searched for a couples therapist who could support us PROACTIVELY. Not one who looked for problems, but someone who could equip us with tools, vision, and strength – help us lay the foundations. We couldn’t find this person – therapists didnt know what to do with us. “if you have no problem, then why are you here?!”
I had to find other solutions and I was hungry for it!
I read everything I could find on love. Trained in multiple modalities. Sat in workshops, trainings and circles. And as I was de-dusting outdated traditional couples therapy, I created my own signature “Modern Couples frameworks”.
Modern Couples launched in 2020.
Built on systemic training, agile experience, relationship coaching, and global experience — but more importantly, from a deep desire to serve the kind of humans that don’t settle for good-enough – Modern Couples was born.
My philosophy? Relationships are the currency of the future. It’s time to invest.
Since launching Modern Couples, I’ve worked with entrepreneurs, multicultural couples, high-achievers, business owners, nomads, biohackers, and rebel lovers.
What unites them is not a label but an ambition to fall in love with life.
Creating and leading a 10x kind of love!
Not just for them, but as a legacy.
Continuously evolving
As a double Capricorn, one thing is for granted, I am continuously eager to learn, grow and evolve my coaching and teachings. I do what I love and love what I do.
Over the past couple of years, I moved to a foreign country, learned a new language, build 2 businesses, closed 1, healed my fear of dogs and adopted a wolf, stopped waking up with alarm clocks, dipped every day in the ocean, took Modern Couples to Burning Man, sat in ceremonies with master plants, made my own cosmetics, ran my first marathon, got into body building & biohacking, unlocked codes to longevity & nervous system harmonisation, trained with some of the best experts on love, polarity, tantra, breathwork, human design and thetahealing (r), while growing my interest in trading and getting closer to my dream of my permaculture garden with off-grid infrastructure.
