WHAT IS COACHING ?
A different kind of conversation
Coaching is a conversation — but not like most conversations. There’s no advice, no judgement, and no agenda on my end. It’s a dedicated space where you get to think out loud, ask the questions you’ve been pushing aside, and figure out what you actually want to do. Most people find that surprisingly powerful.
“Partnering with a client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.”
International Coaching Federation (ICF)
I’ve been coaching for years. What’s new is who I’m coaching.
I spent most of my career as an Agile Coach — helping teams and leaders in international company navigate change, work better together, and find their way through complexity. Not by telling them what to do. By asking better questions.
At some point, I wanted to go deeper. More personal. One conversation at a time.
So I completed an advanced coaching certification — ICF PCC-level training — and I’m now building my coaching practice. I’m working towards my ICF ACC accreditation, which means I’m actively taking on clients, at a reduced rate, with full professional commitment.
I live in Munich with my family where I recharge by gardening. And I believe that most people already have more clarity inside them than they think — they just need the right space to access it.

WHAT I WORK ON
Three areas where coaching helps
These aren’t rigid categories — they’re the real situations people bring to a session.
Not sure which one fits? That’s fine. Bring the question that’s on your mind.
Career & transition
Figuring out what’s next. Making a change. Or finding more meaning in the work you’re already doing.
Personal clarity
The questions that go in circles. The decisions you keep putting off. The version of yourself you’re not quite living yet.
Leaders & teams
Leading with more confidence. Improving how you communicate. Navigating the messy, human side of work.
PRICING
Simple & transparent
I charge a reduced rate while I complete the coaching hours required for my ICF ACC accreditation. This is a temporary phase — and a good moment to work with me if you’ve been curious about coaching.
The first call is always free. After that, sessions are €35 per session (50–90 min), online or in Munich.
If financial access is a barrier, reach out. I keep one pro-bono spot open at a time — just get in touch and we’ll talk.

Curious? Let’s talk.
The first call is free, informal, and about 30 minutes. We talk about what’s on your mind, I explain how coaching works, and we see if it feels like a good fit. No pressure. No commitment.
