My journey started as a search for authenticity and meaning in a world that often felt disconnected from these values. Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in practices that bring people closer to their true selves—exploring movement, sound, nervous system attunement, and deep inner work to help individuals connect deeply and live with purpose. My path has led me from studying robotics, to working in strategy consulting, to exploring cultural change in organizations, to focussing on inner development - e.g. when working for the School of Life. The last years I have been spending lots of time facilitating retreats and gathering experience in many modalities of personal transformation.

I created Essence to share what I’ve learned and to help others embrace their unique path with confidence and clarity. My hope is to build a global community where people feel free to be themselves and empowered to live fully.
