EXPERIENCE PSYCHOLOGY HOLISTICALLY
As a holistic psychologist, I creatively intertwine psychology with philosophy and spirituality.
My approach engages the senses in diverse ways, encompassing the body, mind and soul equally, while sensitizing individuals to a holistic perspective on life.
Psychology
Understanding behavior & experience
Philosophy
Exploring purpose & meaning
Spirituality
Expanding perception & consciousness
MY VALUES
"We can learn to see life in a new way."
During my consultations, workshops and presentations, I connect aspects of psychology, philosophy and spirituality in creative ways. Humans are complex, holistic beings. Personal issues and questions require an approach that address all of our senses and equally involve mind body and soul. When all three axes resonate with each other, we can experience inner harmony, enjoy life and find meaning.
"Every moment life reminds us of ourselves."
The combination of psychological, philosophical and spiritual elements permits exploration of the depths of one’s own thoughts, actions and feelings. The interplay of these dimensions allows recognition of personal experience and the foundation of meaning and reason in one’s life, as well as the development of consciousness for what connects oneself and the world at its core.
"We find the answers of nature in life itself."
With the aid of pictures, metaphors and visualizations, I create consciousness for experienced patterns and dynamics. By incorporating symbols from nature and drawing parallels in human lives, I develop understanding for higher order connections and sensitize for a holistic perspective on life.
"What we see within makes its way without.
What develops in an individual makes its way into the collective."
In my consultations, I foster a comprehensive personal confrontation of values and accompany the development of emotion regulation skills. Existing convictions and beliefs may be questioned and new, helpful points of view created. Through the realization of what desires, needs and fears originate our behavior, a conscientious, constructive method of dealing with emotions can be learned and step for step new personal responsibility can be found. Development and growth of equilibrium, meaning and connectedness are encouraged through this. Authentic inward humanity as well as socially sustainable coexistence flourish on a foundation of these principles.
"Internal awareness creates outer awareness.
Internal coherence creates outer coherence.
Inner peace creates outer peace."
The term spirituality originates from the Latin spiritus, meaning spirit and is therefore a term for everything beyond the material and mundane world. By spirituality I am not referring to and specific religious faith, but rather a personal receptivity for reason and meaning facilitating values, as well as feeling of inner and outer connectedness. Inner connection comes about when we know ourselves well and function in unison with our deepest core. Outer connection occurs when we see ourselves as a meaningful part of a greater whole.
"We can always only encounter ourselves."
For me being spiritual means having an open mindset, set on harmony and inclusion. It means having faith in life, regarding the rhythms and cycles of nature and making decisions based on one’s own inner knowledge. In my opinion lived spirituality is a basic attitude of freedom, never dependance. It stands for personal development and therefore self-realization, personal responsibility, self-determination and self-actualization.

ART OF PSYCHOLOGY
stands for
inspiration
To experience novelty and expand one’s horizons, it is critical to receive new, multifaceted and engaging impulses from elsewhere.
Do you wish for more variety and diversity in your life? Are you striving for change and personal development?
Room to think and creative impulses help to expand, illuminate and realign viewpoints.
I will inspire you to see the existing beauty in life and to shape your own way with optimism, enjoyment and initiative.
Together we explore your issues, desires and perspectives with ease and vitality. We dare to think outside the box, create dynamic opportunities and expand your field of agency.
You can believe anything.
You can attempt new things.
You can create visions.
You can shape your future.
You can make yourself a new reality.
You can grow beyond yourself.
&
intuition
To find a fitting path to feeling alive, fulfilled and content, it is worth it to take a moment to listen to your inner voice.
Do you no longer feel your direction? Are you anxious, dissatisfied or do you wish to be more grounded in life?
An honest discourse with one’s self aids in perceiving personal needs and become closer to one’s self.
I support you in strengthening your self-awareness and finding access to your authentic energy and individuality.
Together we discover where fulfillment lies for you, where you feel resonance and what direction you want to take in the future. We create clarity and find ways to better understand, empower and trust yourself.
You can listen to your feelings.
You can trust your intuition.
You can discover your strength.
You can give your passion the space it needs.
You can live through your uniqueness.
You can be yourself.

Through our individual awakening, we can illuminate larger aspects of the phenomenon called 'life,' gain understanding of our existence and learn to shape life's aspects for personal and collective well-being through our awareness. When we better understand influences and effects on physical, mental and emotional levels, we can address them at the most helpful levels for the present moment. Consciousness creates the opportunity for balance and peace.
As within, so without - as in the small, so in the large.

PRESENTATIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO INTEGRATE A HOLISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE INTO THEIR DAILY LIVES.
PRESENTATIONS FOR SCHOOLS
Teachers in everyday school life are repeatedly confronted with students who face individual challenges such as anxiety, high sensitivity, ADHD, aggression, exhaustion, depression, addictions, compulsions or trauma. Complex symptom patterns present both pedagogical and personal challenges. Traditional approaches, diagnostic methods and treatments do not always lead to the desired improvements and sometimes reinforce feelings of helplessness and resignation among those involved.
My lectures provide holistic perspectives, support and strategies for dealing with challenging situations in the school environment. Together we explore the backgrounds and causes of the most common symptom patterns and discuss appropriate approaches. In the process we develop concrete ideas on how teachers can act constructively and effectively in direct interactions with students and how the school system can be sustainably transformed.

Inviting emotional and social sustainability, from my perspective, means creating inner peace. Creating inner peace involves summoning the courage to delve into the depths of one's own being: thoughts, actions and feelings. It means recognizing our own experiences and behaviors, exploring the meaning and significance of our lives and expanding our awareness that we are the ones who create our world.

Developmental and personality psychology
Who I am and my way of thinking
"We can choose internal livelihood anytime."
I was born in 1990 and grew up in Canton Bern in Switzerland. As a sensitive child and youth, I was interested in people’s emotional experience and the underlying connectivity of life. After an education in business, several years in various fields of work and numerous foreign travels lasting months, I decided to study psychology at age 24. Already before and during my studies, I concerned myself intensely with mind-body connections, thought-, emotion- and consciousness training as well as parapsychological phenomena. In my master’s thesis I focused on the role of intuition in the psychological consultation process. With ART OF PSYCHOLOGY I am realizing my vision of connecting holistic consciousness development and creativity.
I am convinced that our emotional health is the definitive key to a sustainable and peaceful coexistence in the future. Emotional health, in my opinion, is based largely on experiencing connectedness. In order to fundamentally experience connectedness, one often must confront questions about one’s own existence and the meaning and directionality of life.
"Who am I and what do I want? How am I meant to be as a human being? What do my thoughts, actions and feelings have to do with my present life? What really counts for me? Am I living life like my heart desires? Do I feel joy, lightness and liveliness?"
We can turn to ourselves and help ourselves find personal answers to our fundamental questions of life. We can recognize that the way we are at our core is our chance at love and peace.
"We are who create our own world. From top to bottom. Inwards as outwards. With our thoughts, our words and our deeds. We are who create our own world. Always. At every point in time. Let us see the good. Let us recognize the opportunity. It’s in our hands. Everyday."
I wish you courage for your own unique path.
I wish you confidence in yourself and your inner voice.
I wish you love and for you to see yourself in it.
Here. Now. In every moment.

On one hand, I address the personal level through my holistic psychology. This involves considering the individual as a whole, recognizing their essence as an interplay of soul, mind and body, and ensuring the consideration and promotion of all senses. On the other hand, I also incorporate the transpersonal level. Here, I consciously integrate dimensions that extend beyond the individual self. Consequently, I emphasize our interconnectedness with everything that surrounds us and focus on the spiritual development of humanity.
