Free, Introductory Joyful Growth Session

Is your work life or your business a source of frustration for you?

Maybe your professional life has you feel like you're stuck in a box. Perhaps you are so overwhelmed by all the obligations on your plate that you just want to hide under a blanket. Or you might feel like there's something you really want to bring into the world, and yet something seems to be blocking you from that.

To add insult to injury, you have probably tried many different approaches to solve the issues you are dealing with. Maybe you have read books or listened to podcasts about productivity, business or career advice. Perhaps you have tried to shift your mindset and feel more positive about the situation, or explored manifestation techniques. You might even have sought costly support from professionals (such as career coaches or counselors).

Why it can be so hard to reach your goals

If you haven't gotten the desired results from your efforts, it's not because there's something wrong with you. It's not because you lack discipline. It's probably because of unconscious programming and blocks.

You see, what people consciously want in life is often in conflict with their unconscious programming. Imagine someone who wants to become successful in their field, yet has the fear that it's not safe to be seen. In that case, the conscious desire is at adds with unconscious programming.

Programming comes from subtle and not-so-subtle messages people receive during their life, including childhood. It also includes beliefs, habits, and thought forms that come from one's culture, ancestors, or even other lifetimes (if that's something you resonate with).

And here's the thing: if there's a conflict between your conscious goals and your unconscious programming, it takes a Herculean effort to make things happen. In a conflict, the unconscious programming will almost always win. Your unconscious programming is the equivalent of an 800-pound gorilla, so even if your conscious mind is a heavyweight champion (like Muhammad Ali in his prime), that's still not a fair fight.

So, how on Earth does one solve this issue?

The key is to turn your unconscious mind into an ally by making sure your conscious goals and your unconscious programming are in harmony with each other. While this might sound complicated, it can be very easy with the right approach. (Like many other things in life. For instance, solving a plumbing issue might be an insurmountable task for me, but a competent plumber can do it without even breaking a sweat.)

When it comes to changing unconscious programming, it's important to know that your unconscious mind is not your enemy. It wants to support you and keep you safe. It often just doesn't have the most accurate or up-to-date information on how to best help you with your current goals.

The best approach I have found for changing unconscious programming is a specific form of energy work called Energetic NLP. It brings together the fields of energy work (which works brilliantly for removing energetic blockages) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming/NLP (which enables people to change their programming very quickly).

This introduction is a complete healing session, like the ones I do with paid clients. While the exact structure depends on your goals, we will chat a little bit at the beginning. To begin, I will help you create your Miraculous Self (a combination of your spirit and your deep inner human wisdom) and then we will do the healing itself. This is followed by a gentle process of integration. At the end, we do a quick debrief, and I'm happy to answer questions that have come up for you.

What you’ll get out of this free, introductory session:

• More space in your energy field for what you really want to do in your work and life.
• A powerful ally you can draw on for the rest of your life—during our session, we will create your Miraculous Self (a potent combination of your spirit and your deep inner human wisdom).
• Potentially quite a bit of fun—one person called our time together the “most fun energy session” she had ever had.

A few days after our session, I will send you an email with additional free resources in case you want to take this process further, and an explanation of how you could do more work with me, if you like.

Some people have decided to become paid clients and work more deeply with me after our introductory session, which is wonderful. And, I probably wouldn't have enough time in my calendar if everyone who did a free intro session became a client. 🙂 So, rest assured that there won't be any pressure or expectation on you to do more work with me. It's genuinely fun for me to do these sessions, so I would also do them if money ceased to exist overnight.

If I think it would be helpful to you, at the end of our session I might briefly and gently mention ways you could take this deeper, if you like.

No, there are no prerequisites. You don't need any experience with energy work—just an openness to play with it—and you also don't need to be able to visualize. I will adapt this session to what works best for you.

This process doesn't require any particular belief system. It's meant to get you more in touch with your own deep inner human wisdom and help you find your authentic path. As such, it can be adapted to what you feel most comfortable with. If you have any spiritual words or beliefs you like or don't like, just let me know, and I'm happy to adjust my wording accordingly.

I only have space for about a dozen free sessions per month. To give as many people as possible the opportunity, I limit free sessions to one per person. If you would like to do more sessions with me, I invite you to check out the Joyful Growth Journey, which is offered at accessible pricing. I also have some free resources you can explore.

If you have friends or family members who might like this work, you are more than welcome to share this page with them. People are often very encouraged by the positive experiences of people close to them, so if you got value from this work, sharing about it can be a wonderful service to them (and to me, so thank you for considering it!).

I have been trained in EnergeticNLP by its founder, Art Giser, who has also given me permission to share this work with others. With Art's permission, I combine EnergeticNLP with other powerful forms of energy work and my concept of joyful growth.

My certifications include Infinity Healing by Tarek Bibi, and Repairing Core Fractures and Clearing Toxic Emotions, two modalities created by NYT-bestselling author Dawn Clark. I have also received training as a shamanic practitioner, which helps me address ancestral issues and topics around belonging that many people struggle with.

Outside of energy work, I am certified and have extensive experience as a habit coach. I am a graduate of Dr. Brian Whetten's Conscious Business Academy and have training in mediation, an alternate conflict resolution approach.

More than 15 years ago, I had an embodied spiritual awakening that got confirmed by one of the seniors teachers in this lineage. I never quite managed to plug myself back into the matrix after that...

10 years ago, I left my legal career that I had spent a decade building.

I completed my doctorate in international law from what's arguably the oldest university institute in international law, the Walther-Schücking-Institute in Kiel, where I also worked as a research associate. (In 1933, Walther Schücking lost his professorship at the university of Kiel. He got pushed out of public life for lacking sufficient "enthusiasm" for National Socialism and for his liberal, internationalist stance... all of which makes me proud to have spent some time at his institute.)

I am qualified to be a judge in Germany, and spent some time working in Big Law on multi-million and -billion dollar cases before deciding it wasn't for me. However, there are many skills I learned as a lawyer that I still use today. As an attorney, you are acting as your client's champion, while also advising them on the feasibility of their goals and the best way of getting there. This, as well as the ability to take perspectives and understand systems, is something that I draw on constantly in my work with clients today.

After taking a leap of faith and leaving my previous life behind, I started my business in the US. Doing a complete career change while moving to another continent was a bit too much transformation all at once, even for an irredeemable growth glutton like me... but I eventually managed to integrate. Over the last decade, I have worked with hundreds of people on six continents (I'm still holding out for a client from Antarctica).

As a global citizen with a German passport who is living in the US, I have spent some time studying in Spain, working in Vietnam, and going to school in Canada and the UK. I'm in a bi-cultural marriage, and raising a bilingual toddler who is the personification of joyful growth (and who recently decided to start watching kid shows in a third language).

I like reading fiction novels, working out and doing Martial Arts (Bruce Lee's JKD and Kali, a Filipino Martial Arts). In addition to spirituality, I enjoy learning about magic and the occult. I meditate and practice yoga every day for at least a few minutes. I'm a happy herbivore with a particular affinity for vegan Pho, and an animal advocate.
