1:1 Coaching & Workshops

So many women are walking around chronically underfed and not even realising it. It’s a pattern I see a lot in my clients.

You skip a real breakfast because you’re rushing and grab a small snack when the hunger starts rising. Lunch has to be light because you don’t want to feel heavy and sleepy after.

But you know what - feeling tired and heavy after meals is not normal. Food should give you energy, not make you feel drowsy. If you’re tired, heavy or bloated after meals, that’s a clear sign something is off. Either you’re eating too much, not the right food or/and your digestive fire (agni) is weak.

Not eating enough of the right food during the first half of the day backfires. The sugar cravings, the energy crash and the need for more coffee is your body signalling it needs fuel.

Then, when dinner comes, you can’t stop eating. This is not because you have no self-control but because your body hasn’t been fuelled properly during the day.

Regular and wholesome meals nourish the body and keep your hormones in balance. A stable blood sugar means no energy crashes and less stress on the body.

That’s what you’ll learn in my 1:1 - how to nourish your body to feel energetic and how to avoid energy crashes and cravings.

Raw food, juices and smoothies, maybe a protein bar, and keep these evil carbs out of the house!

You seem to do everything right, at least that’s what it looks like from the outside. But what I see is different. I see depletion dressed up as clean eating. That’s far from a healthy diet for a woman.

You’re feeling cold, your hair is falling out, your period is irregular and scanty. And I bet you’re feeling bloated and without energy quite often, hormones all messed up.

When your body doesn’t get enough nourishment, it goes into survival mode. Digestion slows down, your cycle becomes irregular and your energy disappears. Undereating is stress for the body!

What Ayurveda has known for thousands of years, is that a woman’s body thrives on warmth, substance and regularity, not on restriction. Wholesome foods, complex carbs, good fats, proteins and fibre as the base. Not a 1500 calorie diet on juices, smoothies and salads.

Your body is talking to you - are you listening?

Stress, lack of sleep, a diet that doesn’t suit you… In the end this is what messes with our hormones and your overall health.

To achieve long lasting change and a balanced life with balanced hormones, we need to look at 3 pillars, the foundation:

Nutrition
Lifestyle
Stress Management

That is what my work is build on. In my coaching, we address the root cause, not the symptoms. For a change that lasts, choosing nourishment over depletion.

Are you ready to take control over your health and say goodbye to PMS, exhaustion and digestive issues?

Panchakarma - Ayurveda at its best

Exactly 2 years ago l was in Kerala, India, for a Panchakarma Retreat. Panchakarma means „five procedures“ and refers to five therapeutic treatments used to detoxify the body and rejuvenate the system. It is truly amazing!

Since I started studying Ayurveda I wanted to experience Panchakarma myself. In 2024 I was finally able to travel to India to deepen my Ayurvedic studies in its origin. I finished my studies and travels with a two week Panchakarma

Time to slow down, amazing nourishing food (best part for me!) and massages every day. Everything tailored to your needs. I never felt better! (by the end of the retreat… in between it was quite a rollercoaster 😅)

Comment RETREAT if you’re curious about my experience at the Panchakarma retreat, and I will send you the link to my blog, where I wrote about my time at the retreat.

Not getting off birth control sooner

This is really my biggest regret. I started taking the pill when I was 15. It was due to very heavy, long periods. I lost a lot of blood and got severe anaemia and iron deficiency.

I never thought about any side effects and that I’m putting my body in a complete unnatural state.

Then I started gaining weight, I was very moody and developed migraines with aura. But I was too scared to stop taking the pill, too afraid to get back these uncontrollable, heavy periods. And sure, being on birth control was very convenient.

End of 2020, after starting to formally study Ayurveda and realising that the menstruation is not a burden but a gift (a natural cleanse) and heavy periods are a sign of an imbalance, I finally decided to stop. That’s it, no more. After being on birth control for almost 20 years. I was still scared but now I had Ayurveda having my back and I knew that I will be able to manage.

🙏🏼 It was the best decision ever, although it took my body almost 2 years to get back into a natural, hormonal balance. (I mean, no wonder after such a long time…) My migraines stopped. I slowly felt like a different person, like I was finally able to be my true self.

🩷 I want to encourage you to look at your period as a very important marker of your health and hormones. As a monthly cleanse from inside, a time to look inward. It’s not a burden and it doesn’t have to be painful. If it is, your body is showing you that something is off.

Can we please stop glorifying cutting carbs from our diet, living on salads and smoothies all day and not eating enough, because we are scared to gain weight?

Imagine feeling happy and satisfied after your meal. No cravings, no fantasies about chocolate, cake, burgers or fries (whatever it is you’re actually craving for). Having no energy crashes throughout the day. A better mood, because we stop restricting our life, taking good care of ourselves.

Our body needs all nutrients to function properly. Protein, fats AND carbs. Especially us women, we benefit a lot from eating enough carbs.

The carbs I’m talking about are the healthy and wholesome carbs. These are beans, lentils, quinoa, oats, barley, wholegrain pasta, potatoes… I think you got it. These are your friends, not your enemies. They provide steady energy for your body. They nourish and ground us.

Always keep in mind: balance is the key! 🩷

You look happier!

Yes, I stopped making the same old choices that made me feel like crap.

If you want to feel different, you have to make different choices for yourself.

So after years of depleting my body, rushing through life, pleasing everyone except for myself, I finally started to listen to my body. I stopped listening to trendy diet advice, chasing the perfect number on the scale. None of this would have happened if I never came across Ayurveda. It taught me to listen to my body and how to take care of it, to understand what my body really needs.

Still, I haven’t mastered the perfect health yet, especially after stressing myself out for half of my life. But I’m on my way, feeling better than ever.

The most common problem I see in my coachings is not that these women follow a horrible diet - it’s the lifestyle that causes most of the trouble. There is no time for proper rest and recovery. Eating in a rush or in front of a screen. Every free minute has to be productive and filled with something to do.

The body is running on stress hormones, and this messes with our female hormones as well. The result is PMS, painful or irregular periods, menopausal symptoms, fatigue, gut issues and a lot more. We are not meant to live like that.

🩷 Rest is crucial. And you don’t have to earn it.

The sweet art of just being, combined with a nourishing diet. That is exactly what fuels a female body. You have my permission to rest! 😉

Every spring nature comes back to life… and you? Tired, sluggish and heavy 🥱 No spring energy in sight.

This feeling is well known as springtime fatigue.

Ayurveda explains this natural process with the accumulation of the kapha dosha inside our bodies and rising kapha in nature.

Some time ago I was telling you to keep it easy and stay cosy, but now it’s slowly time to leave our caves and get active again!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Ayurveda which I can recommend to everyone it is this:

🔥 Have warm meals!

Coming from Germany where it’s very common to have bread for breakfast and dinner, it felt a bit unusual at first. And it’s so easy and comfortable to just have a slice of bread with cheese. Done. Dinner’s ready!

But Ayurveda teaches us that the overconsumption of cold foods can weaken our digestive fire (agni). It takes a lot more effort for the body to „cook“ the food in our stomach. Especially when agni is weak, the body will not be able to metabolize cold meals properly. By eating cooked food we make it easier for the body to assimilate the nutrients.

Have you ever noticed how different food feels inside your stomach? Doesn’t a warm soup feel like a hug from inside? And how heavy just bread and cheese can make you feel?

Especially when it’s cold outside or when you’re feeling stressed, three warm meals can be a total game changer.

Warmth heals.

Keep that in mind next time you reach out for a salad or bread and cold cuts 🩷
