I guide women
back to their original self.
I work as a Depth Practitioner, a partner for inner shifts, serving women who are returning to themselves beyond adaptation. I focus on deep identity work, guiding those navigating the threshold between the self they learned to perform and the original self underneath.
I specialize in the systems, invisible patterns and hidden contracts running deep within the unconscious that shape how humans operate. The agreements made, that taught women to leave themselves to belong.

I work as a Depth Practitioner, supporting women through deep inner identity shifts and threshold moments.
I know this territory well. For over a decade, I’ve navigated my own inner shifts, working to restructure my own inner operating system. For most of my life, I tried to fit into spaces that were never truly mine. Fuelled by survival mode, I learned early to adapt to circumstances and the needs of others, becoming skilled at reading rooms, making people comfortable and adjusting myself to whatever the environment around me seemed to require. And in the process, I lost touch with my original self underneath.
The skills I developed along the way, deep emotional intelligence, an ability to see beneath the surface of people and situations, a precision in naming what others couldn’t, was valuable. But eventually I understood that I had built those capacities in order to stay safe in an unstable environment, and that a new way of being was recurred for me to truly inhabit my own life and thrive within it.
This led me into a long messy process of finding my way back. Not to a better or more healed version of myself, but to the woman that existed before the adaptation began. The real human beneath the learned roles and identities. That process is what I now accompanies others through.
Work with me
The Threshold is a single 1:1 session for those standing at inner thresholds or navigating life transitions.
In the session I’ll support you in the process of returning to your self beyond roles, learned behavior and familiar patterns.
In the session we’ll explore something specific together. It could be a decision you feel stuck in, a pattern you keep repeating, a old version of yourself you’re outgrowing, a creative block with no apparent cause, a persistent feeling you can name but don’t understand, a dynamic that keeps showing up in your relationships or work.
From there we will investigate the deeper layers and patterns beneath it. That invisible architecture that is shaping your perception.
The work is subtle and cellular, and happens through the body, not the mind. I will guide you through sensation, feeling and clear seeing, while we explore what is happening for you.
Investment: 400€ a month
Details: 1:1 container with biweekly sessions
Duration: 3–6 months

ApplyThe Crossing is a longer container to transform your internal architecture. For the woman who knows something needs to fundamentally shift, and is ready to do the work of shifting it.
You might be familiar with your patterns. You have named them, traced them and understood their origins, and yet they still repeat. This is the specific problem I work with, the gap between understanding a pattern and moving through it, to live beyond it.
My work is focusing on the unconscious aspects of your psyche. Where therapy addresses symptoms, often through talking and locating the origin and coaching addresses behavior, I work at the level where the pattern was formed, where it can actually shift – in the body and nervous system.
We meet 2 times a month for deep sessions. Between sessions I send writing prompts, experiments and practices designed to continue the work.
I work with a small number of people at a time. The Crossing begins with a Threshold Session. Apply to find out if there is currently space.
The Work
Most of what shapes a woman’s life is invisible to her.
What drives the patterns she keeps repeating, the relationship cycles, the ways she moves away from herself without noticing, these live beneath the surface of mindset and behavior. Stored in the unconscious, these agreements were made so early she doesn’t remember signing them.
I work at that level. Not on the surface problem, which is almost never the real problem. On the mechanism underneath it. The pattern that keeps generating the same circumstances in different costumes, the same dynamic with different faces, the same abandonment of her own truth in different contexts.
Clients come to me when they have outgrown the surface work. When the tools, the frameworks, and the mindset approaches have helped, up to a point, and that point has been reached. When understanding the pattern is no longer the problem, but something deeper needs to shift.
My sessions are guided intuitively and drawn from my experience with integral psychotherapy, depth psychology, parts work, inner child work, shadow work, and somatic awareness.
