  • Description

    Dear community,
    I am a newfound traveller of spirit and mind in the pursuit of healing for myself and for the world (if I am allowed to think big). As a researcher and engineer I noticed I do not get the freedom in interacting with people as I pursue it and therefore do the switch to become a therapist. I am intrigued by spiritual and philosophical traditions and try to implement them sustainably in my life. Besides all the inside stuff, I am eager to go out of my comfort zone, meet new people, learn and give something back. I hope to have wonderful new insights as a guest workawayer and contribute to the collective of openminded...-ness :).

    More details about my language interests
    I stayed one year in Norway where I practiced my English and some Norwegian. I am a quick learner and would also share what I know in a structured and digestible way. From teaching experience in university I know that I enjoy teaching and breaking topics down.

  • More details about your skills

    I am a studied M.Sc. Energy engineer. Basically I learned how energy systems with focus on heating in buildings work and behave. I have skills in programming languages such as Python, Matlab or VBA (MS Excel). Also creating economic balances with comparing investments, interest rates, break even points. Besides working at the university as a researcher, I am now more eager to go more practical. As I work out, any kind of bodywork I welcome just as much as artistic or craftwork. My experiences are limited there but I really want to learn it. I did not work with animals much - with is also something I would like to change. From my experience - after warming up I appreciate them very much and take good care.

  • What else ...

    If I don´t ponder existential questions (more or less successful :P) in my freetime, I go dancing (salsa, bachata, kizomba), meditate, do bodywork (Qi-Gong) or read novels or non-fiction books (anthropolgy, philosophy, psychology...). If I feel like it I appreciate good movies which challenges me sometimes, because I am build close to the water and quickly immerse myself in the emotions of the scenes.
