Description

Hello, I originally come from Germany. After living in Spain for almost two years, my husband, Eduardo, and I decided to move to Los Angeles, California, where we've been living now for about two years. I have a background as a psychologist, and I’m currently working as a Holistic Life Coach. I come from a small village in Germany named Weisendorf, and I went to the University of Vienna where I studied psychology.

My interests include yoga, long walks on the beach and hiking the hills in Spain. I enjoy swimming, dancing, biking, singing, and I have a passion for cooking—especially “intuitive” vegetarian and vegan dishes.

I like to keep in touch with family—that’s important! And I love being honest and truthful with friends. I like to travel and meet new people, and I love children & animals. I've been enjoying taking care of and playing with children at the local YMCA. I'm passionate about DIY projects.

If I had one wish… it would be: Peace to All— and I genuinely mean a loving peace for one another that goes beyond the mind, and comes straight from the heart.

—Vivien

More details about my language interests
I have experience teaching German in Spain and English in Colombia. Even though I've done a lot of voluntary work, I've only done one with Workaway so far. I'm excited to explore opportunities that also include teaching and/or learning another language.

More details about your skills

I am a fast learner, I am eager to learn new skills and to improve the ones I already have.

Furthermore, I have some teaching experience. During my special education career, I did several internships in schools for children with learning difficulties. I also spent one year in Bilbao, Spain, teaching German. I also taught English at an elementary school in Colombia.

Moreover, I have some experience as a psychologist and personal assistant. I obtained the Master's degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Vienna, Austria.
During my psychology career I assisted a boy with autism. I also did an internship at a psychiatry. My colleagues described me as very patient and friendly.
After graduation, I worked as a clinical psychologist at a hospital, as well as at a school in Germany.

Additionally, I have experience taking care of children (I worked at the YMCA), watering plants and petsitting.

I also have a talent for languages. I lived in Spain for more than two years, where I improved my Spanish to a higher level of fluency. Currently, I've been living in the United States for about two years, hence English is became my second language. I like watching English/ Spanish movies and shows and reading articles or books in foreign languages.
