My story

First of all: I am German – Palestinian – Balinese

Unimaginable? But true!

I grew up in Berlin in a multicultural family and with multicultural friends. Besides experience wonderful diversity, I also struggled as a young person to understand who I was within the contradicting ideas and expectations around life. This resulted in feeling insecure, a fear of not belonging and not being able to express myself freely.

suffering from a chronic, so-called “unhealable” skin disease for many years, at age 20 I felt lost and at the internally darkest moment of my life. I had no choice but to look for different ways to live, even though I did not know how. I promised to myself that I would find a way no matter what. So, I started with the question:

How can we live a happy and healthy life?

I broke free, left my economics studies, moved to Bali to find my roots, study a language and culture program and unexpectedly discovered spirituality and  myself – my thoughts, my emotions, my ideas, my identity, my fears and my dreams!

I was guided by my uncle, who is a Balinese priest and healer, in learning meditation and connecting to the spiritual realm. Ever since, I have a sense of Grace and Guidance from above in my life. I also met my   friend and mentor Marga, who is now at 73 years top fit, married for 50 years and still living her best life.

Life unfolded and I studied Social and Economic Sustainability in Germany, Project Management at a University in Spain and became a Language and Communication Trainer working with people from around the globe, all with the intention to be able to contribute to positive change and helping other people grow.

The result of many years of learning, trying out, exploring and failing, and with the help of friends and mentors, especially Marga´s ongoing guidance for 10 years:

I could heal my skin disease after suffering for 27 years without medicine , but through meditation, self-acceptance and finding the right diet for my body.

After living in Germany, Bali, Spain and Portugal, and many travels to Palestine and numerous other places, I understand my special multicultural experience and identity. Nowadays, I enjoy my internal diversity and aliveness through being able to tap into my cultures and accepting that others might not understand or accept my differences and I make us of my unique abilities that come with being multicultural.

Through deeper connection with myself and opening my heart, I could build wonderful relationships with deep connection, the greatest source of love and caring in my life. I found more empowerment and dared to follow my dreams for the past 12 years, growing in the process and having no regrets.
