Spiritual Life Counselling

Guidance from
Lived Experience

Over 40 years of spiritual practice and psychological self-experience — from music college through Indian ashrams to leading a mid-sized company. I accompany people in life questions, the search for meaning, and personal development.

My counselling is not a substitute for medical, psychiatric or psychotherapeutic treatment. For mental health conditions I explicitly recommend professional help.

About me

Four Decades of Lived Experience

My path led me from music college through years in Indian ashrams to leading a mid-sized company. This unusual combination is no coincidence — it is the foundation of my work.

Spirituality for me is not a withdrawal from life, but a deeper way of being within it. I accompany people who stand at crossroads, who search for meaning, or who need orientation in times of crisis — with what I truly know: life itself.

I work in Leipzig and offer sessions in person as well as by video on request.
