I see myself as a psychedelic health advocate. My focus is on the mindful and sustainable use of psychedelics and the integration of experiences that we have in expanded states of consciousness.

My curiosity and my unbiased nature have already taken me to many places in this world and let me learn from many people. My biggest learning from my journey so far, however, is that only we can change something ourselves, out of our own power and that no one else will walk this path for us. My work comes from the heart and I love to accompany those who are ready to change something, who have the courage to leave their comfort zone and are ready to get involved - first and foremost with themselves.

In a Nutshell.

Since I started working in the corporate sector more than 15 years ago, my spiritual side has always influenced my work. Mostly quietly and in the background, since corporate and spirituality usually don´t go well with each other. Even though this is slowly changing, I decided to step out of the corporate work space and dive into the work that I do today. Fun fact, often my clients have a corporate background today.

Today I work as a psychedelic guide, educator and coach. I´m part of the team of SET & SETTING, as well as other retreat companies. I facilitate group integrations for the Psychedelic Society Hamburg (Germany) and my own and run my own private retreats for individuals and small groups.

I am co-founder of the KULA Institute that offers a 2-year course in psychedelic guiding in German.

In addition, my own continued professional development is very important to me. Therefore I am currently in the Psychedelic Therapy Training of the AWE Foundation, which combines indigenous wisdom with transpersonal psychology and psychedelic research and ends for me in a PhD in Psychedelic Studies at Ubiquity University.

Psychedelic Guidance & Integrative Somatic coaching

Why did I choose this combination? I didn't choose it, I followed my path. With many turns, loops and crossed stoplights.

If I am honest, I have often struggled with my work as a consultant and coach in companies. After all, it was often about higher, faster, further, about optimizing processes and people. It didn't feel coherent to me and often felt too superficial. Work needed to be done on the facade, even though the foundation was not yet strong enough.

But the future does not lie in competition, permanent optimization and scarcity thinking, but much more in being connected with one self and each other, in abundance and harmony.

The combination of self-leadership, somatic mindfulness and working with psychedelics is so great for me, because when implemented with respect and responsibility, it can fundamentally change the perspective of people in leadership positions and lead to a harmony between personal well-being and professional success.

My own path guided me to different indigenous tribes, let me learn from rituals and ceremonies based in European history and my curiosity let me accomplish many different courses and university studies. I like bridging what works with respect to where the elements and cosmologies come from.

Both meditation, mindfulness in general, and working with non-ordinary states of consciousness (which may or may not be induced by substances) often challenge us and push us to the edge of our comfort zone.

So it's not about thinking exclusively positively or seeing everything in rosy red. It's about the courage and willingness to metaphorically sit down in the fire and endure there, even if it's uncomfortable. To look at what comes to the surface there, what wants to be worked on and let go.

What often keeps us from real transformation is what lies buried deep within us and what we can't/won't look at in the stress of everyday life. Only when we are actually willing to look there and work with what we find in these depths, we can really change or become more of the person we really are. Experience shows that we then actually look more positively at the world, at ourselves and at our fellow human beings, but this is not usually the case at the beginning.

If you are ready to look deeper and walk your own path, then I look forward to working with you.
