My Story: Bridging Healing and Transformation – Empowering Women, Transforming Workplaces

I work to empower women by bridging personal healing and systemic change. Through addressing key life transitions like menstruation and menopause, I help women embrace their physiology as a strength, creating spaces where they thrive and drive innovation.


“Do I contradict myself?

Very well then I contradict myself,

(I am large, I contain multitudes.)”

Walt Whitman


One day, I’m standing on stage, speaking about scalable programs and data driven initiatives to create a business case for women’s health in companies.


The next, I’m in my Munich practice, deeply connected with my patients’ individual stories. Through naturopathy and craniosacral therapy, I help them find healing and strength.


These two worlds—consulting and therapy—might seem worlds apart, yet they complement and fuel each other. Each gives me the grounding and perspective I need to create meaningful, sustainable change.


A Personal Catalyst

After the birth of my son, I became acutely aware of a troubling gap: Women’s health—our physiology, life stages, and unique challenges—is largely ignored when it comes to workplace productivity.


Menstruation, fertility, menopause—these deeply human experiences are often treated as invisible, inconvenient, or even shameful. Women are expected to suppress, ignore, or “push through” these transitions just to match performance and remain unnoticed.


In my view, women lose so much by hiding these vital transitions. These phases of life could be sources of creativity, resilience, and innovation.


My Journey into Women’s Health

To truly understand these transitions, I embarked on an intense journey. Inspired by the valuable work of conventional medicine, I decided to explore complementary perspectives in naturopathy.


Mainstream medicine excels at diagnosing and addressing acute issues. Yet, I wanted to go deeper—to understand how we can holistically support women during life’s subtle, ongoing transitions, such as menopause.


My training as a naturopath allowed me to explore alternative approaches and rediscover knowledge that has guided women for centuries. My goal is never to replace conventional medicine but to expand the spectrum of care available to women.


Additionally, I trained in Craniosacral therapy as a form of body psychotherapy. This method has proven particularly effective for menopausal women, supporting brain detoxification, promoting deep restorative states, and activating the body’s self-healing capabilities—something that often diminishes during perimenopause.


Building Bridges Between Healing and Activism


For almost two years, I’ve devoted one day a week to my practice, where I work with women on issues like menstrual cycle disturbances, fertility, birth preparation, and the natural transition into menopause. This hands-on work provides invaluable insights into the challenges women face daily.


The rest of my week is dedicated to my vision of bringing women’s health to the forefront of workplace culture. Through Cycle Positivity, I’ve reached nearly 3,000 people in global companies, raising awareness, fostering psychological safety, and helping organizations integrate women’s health into th



eir structures. My pilot client list includes Amazon, Microsoft, Deutsche Telekom, Stadtwerke München and Siemens.


Why Both Matter

I’m often asked why I run a practice alongside my intensive consulting work. The answer is simple: My practice grounds me and allows me to support profound personal transformations, while my consulting work creates a platform to drive systemic change.


Together, they form a powerful combination, enabling me to empower women individually while helping companies view women’s health as an opportunity, not a challenge.



Taking Steps Toward Change

My work goes far beyond workshops or awareness training. It’s about embedding women’s health into the core of organizational culture.


I’m deeply grateful for the support of both women and men who share this vision. Together, we’re creating workplaces where people—regardless of gender—can thrive.


In both my practice and my corporate work, I see again and again that we need a new narrative: One that celebrates our differences, not as weaknesses but as strengths. Women’s health isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a societal and economic one. By bringing it to the forefront, we can shape a better future for the next generation.


Let’s drive this change together!
