My Own Becoming

An adventurous soul and inner and outer explorer at heart

If we want a new world we must create a new world, and the only one that will really be new will be one that is aligned with love.

My Own Becoming

I was born in South Africa, rooted in Peruvian and Austrian heritage, and shaped by life across three continents. From early on I carried a quiet longing for belonging that I could not yet name.

For many years I built a life outward. Professional identity, family, achievement, contribution, responsibility. From the outside, everything appeared coherent. Inside, I was living in imbalance and disconnection with myself. Too often I was unconsciously doing it the masculine way, compromising myself in order to fit in and to be seen.

A personal crisis caused my identity to collapse. The structures that had defined me dissolved. That rupture initiated a journey of spiritual awakening, of deaths and rebirths, and of genuine questioning of everything I had taken for granted about who I was and how life was supposed to work.

My own path of healing, inner development, and personal renewal brought me to realize that true change begins inside ourselves, and changes everything. That it is our response-ability to develop new ways of seeing, thinking, and being.

Through breakdowns and breakthroughs, I reconnected with my feminine aspects, did deep healing work, and life started to open up in so many wonderful ways. The greatest gift was being led to the sacred path of the Andean Mystical tradition of the Peruvian Andes.

This awakening of the heart is an irreversible shift in perception. Once you see that we are relational beings woven within a Living Earth and Cosmos, arising from the same Source, it cannot be unseen.

True change does not begin in systems or structures. It begins in consciousness. Always within.

It is in the tapestry of nature and the opening of the heart that the most profound connections are woven.
With ourselves. With each other. With Life itself.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

My purpose is to support the re-emergence of a world rooted in love, sacred relationship and flourishing, with ourselves, with each other, with the Living Earth, and all of Life, restoring our soul-infused sense of belonging within the web of life.

I believe that love-ability, living and leading from the intelligence of the heart, in partnership with Nature, cultivating a wise mind, and embodying stewardship, are the foundations of a purposeful, soul-aligned and regenerative way of life.

A world that is not only optimized, fixed, or left hollow and soulless, but truly alive.

More than innovation, strategies, improvement, and healing, our world needs loving.

What Moves Me

I believe that living from the heart, cultivating a wise mind, and embodying love-ability are the foundations of a truly meaningful, spiritually fulfilling, and purposeful life. 

And I believe it is the feminine medicine needed to heal, unite, and transform the world, shifting us toward a peaceful, spiritually fulfilling, regenerative, and thriving future for humanity and all of Life.

As a lifelong learner and adventurous explorer at heart, I have moved between meeting rooms and sacred mountains, between organizational strategy and ancient ceremony, between the language of modern science and the language of the soul.

This breadth is not accidental. It is what allows me to bridge seemingly different worlds and meet people where they are, guiding them toward something deeper and more alive in themselves, and toward a more meaningful contribution to Life.

Through this weaving of worlds, I share expansive visions of a world rooted in love, reciprocity, and co-creation, where our intimate, living relationship with Nature restores what no theory alone can reach: our felt sense of belonging, our reverence for Life, and our desire to protect what we know ourselves to be part of.

 

This is what my work is devoted to. Not as a concept, but as a living practice, held in every conversation, every immersion, every encounter.

If something in you is ready to feel fully alive and truly thrive in this one precious life, you are in the right place.

The Formation

My path to this transformational work was not linear.

For over three decades I worked at the intersection of global business, corporate sustainability, event marketing, sustainable tourism, and purposeful change.

I led an award-winning global corporate sustainability initiative, guided successful collaborative processes within organizational and destination contexts, and worked alongside leaders and institutions finding their way through change and ready to do things differently. I know these worlds from the inside. And I know what is missing from them.

Then a personal crisis initiated a different kind of formation entirely.

It began with spiritual inquiry. As a devoted student of A Course in Miracles of almost a decade, and through studies with some of the most respected teachers in human potential, sacred activism, feminine leadership, and evolutionary spirituality working today, I came to understand transformation not as self-improvement but as a fundamental shift in perception, an evolutionary impulse of consciousness. 

Then in 2018, deep in the Peruvian jungle, something opened that no study could have prepared me for.

By the sacred waterfall of Gocta, I had a profound and life-altering mystical experience. A potent encounter that left me with a visceral, undeniable sense of a deep connection to Mother Nature and oneness with Nature that has never left me.

Much later I understood it not only as a call, but as a soul remembrance. One that had quietly lived in me since childhood, rooted in my Peruvian ancestry.

Walking in the path of living energy, seeing with the heart, and loving with the mind became not a teaching but a way of life.

From there I stepped into women-centered developmental coaching and facilitation, transformational learning, soul-centered and regenerative leadership, and graduated from the Inner MBA. I trained in neuroscience-informed awareness, somatic intelligence, and living systems principles.

At the same time, a deeper call drew me into the Andean Mystical Tradition. What began as shamanic energy healing apprenticeship opened into years of devoted study with revered Maestros and authentic wisdom keepers from centuries-old Peruvian lineages. I received traditional Karpay transmissions, became a Mesa carrier, and walk the path of the Ñusta Paqo, a female practitioner of Inka Wisdom. This learning continues today in direct apprenticeship with Q’ero fourth-level Paqos, Andean priests and Ñusta Paqos, the last living descendants of the Inka, taught in Quechua.

Sacred pilgrimages to archaeological sites, power places and awe-inspiring landscapes, deepened this formation in ways no classroom could.

Sacred pilgrimages to archaeological sites, power places, and awe-inspiring landscapes deepened this formation in ways no classroom could. 

The closer I came to understand the challenges of our time, the clearer it became that these are not only external problems, but reflections of a deeper disconnection within.

Today I bring all of this, the professional, the personal, the sacred, into a multidisciplinary body of work that accompanies women, leaders and changemakers in a reorientation at the level of identity, perception, and relationship with Life.

This is not a collection of certificates. It is a life devoted, from the inside out, to healing, evolution, and growth, to understanding what it truly takes to transform and flourish.

If this resonates, I would love to explore what is possible together.

The outer upheaval is calling for an inner renaissance. A life that holds both inner fulfillment and meaningful contribution.

Journey on the Spiral

A PATH OF THE SOUL INTO WHOLENESS

Life unfolds in a sacred spiral, a continuous dance of contraction, expansion, and return. Each cycle deeper than the last. Each return to essence more expansive than before.

This is how my own path has moved. Not in a straight line toward a destination, but inward and outward, again and again, each turn revealing more of what was always already there.

It is also the shape of the work I hold for others. Not a program to complete or a peak to reach, but a living process of deepening into oneself, into relationship, into Life.

Coming Home

Coming home to ourselves is not a destination. It is a continuous return.

I create generative spaces where inner transformation and outer contribution meet. Where people reconnect with themselves, with Nature, and with a larger vision of life. Where identity evolves, leadership deepens, and stewardship becomes a natural expression of who they are becoming.

Because as we become, we belong.
As we belong, we care.
As we care, we protect.
As we protect, we serve.

 

This is the work. And it begins within.

The Person Behind the Work

I live between Peru and Germany, carry three continents in my heart, speak three languages, Spanish, English, and German, and feel most alive when I am in nature, hiking through landscapes that remind me how held we truly are.

I love good food, soulful music, meaningful conversation, and time in the company of kindred souls. I am endlessly curious, easily moved by beauty, and genuinely convinced that joy and purpose are not opposites but essential partners.

For over seventeen years I have given my time, skills, and presence in service to children, indigenous communities, climate advocacy, and social impact, quietly, consistently, and long before it became part of any professional identity.  

This includes a longterm sponsorship of children in Peru through Plan International and ongoing support for the Q’ero communities of the Peruvian Andes, the last living descendants of the Inka, through donations for restoration projects and school supplies for their children. 

Their wisdom has shaped my path profoundly. Giving back to them is to be in Ayni. Sacred reciprocity. You can read more about this chapter of my life HERE. 

And my son. He has walked alongside much of this journey, visiting orphanages, planting trees, going to the indigenous communities of Hatun Q’eros high in the Andes and learning from an early age that care is not a feeling but a practice. He is, without question, one of my greatest teachers.

At the end of the day, this work is not separate from my life. It is my life. Lived from the inside out, in devotion to what I believe is possible for each of us and for our world.

Transformation does not happen in isolation

It unfolds in relationship, through presence, reflection, and a willingness to meet what is ready to emerge.

In our work together, whether one-to-one, in immersive spaces, or through my talks, I create environments that invite you to expand your perspective, reconnect with your deeper knowing, and move into aligned, meaningful action.

The greatest adventure is the one that leads you home to yourself.
Intentionally. Wholeheartedly.

What I Stand For

The vision and values that guide how I live, relate and lead.

Giving

Care expressed through years of volunteering, advocacy and support for communities, Indigenous wisdom and the natural world.
