I was born in December 1965 in Germany.

I learned nursing and worked as a Registered Nurse in Germany, Switzerland (German and French part), and The Netherlands.

I always liked to work with people and to learn new things. I shifted within my profession from Internal Medicine, Surgery,  Intensive Care to positions in the dialysis industry as Clinical Coordinator.

In 1991 I married in Lausanne, Switzerland a wonderful Dutch man.

Our first daughter was born in Lausanne in 1993 and our second girl in 1996 in Holland. Our youngest daughter was also born in Holland in 1998. They are very special to me and I am happy and proud to be their mum.

January 2002 we moved to New Zealand. First to Milford on the North Shore and since april 2005 we are living in Coatesville, Albany.

We have chickens, a lamb, a pig , a rabbit and two lovely dogs.

My journey with Reiki

In 1996 a very good  friend of mine explained Reiki to me and introduced me to her experiences.  She awoke my interest  and I decided to learn more about it. That was also the time that I realised that there is much more out there as well as in myself, that warranted further exploration.

I searched for tools that could help gaining more access to my inner self as well as for future personal development.  I studied palmreading, photoreading, different forms of energywork etc. that were interesting but not really my thing.

I received many wonderful Reiki treatments, which helped me to work out a lot. I understood that Reiki gave me the possibility to grow, to heal my self and to learn a lot about me and others.

In 1998 I reached my First Reiki Degree and in the first 1 ½ Year I used Reiki mainly for myself to work on me. With the Second Degree I started to use Reiki for others.

Looking back over the past 10 years I can say that I worked really hard and that I am proud about what I have archieved, knowing that there  will always be things to go trough.

What keeps on fascinating me about Reiki is that when I give it, I feel that the energy flows from my hands and body to the receiver and I know that this will be directed to the right place. This is not because I am doing something so exclusive, but it is the person who recieves Reiki who knows in his/her subconsciousness exactly what to do with the supplied Universal Life Energy. They initiate and manage their own healing process. Factually I  hand you the tools and you heal yourself.

I love to do Reiki as a practicioner/teacher since each treatment/training  is so different and hence my work stays interesting and exciting. I feel each time very honoured to be able to do the treatment /training and be a part of people’s healing and growth.

I believe that I can be a part of many people’s healing process or personal growth and give the tools needed too,  to grow or heal themselves.
