Self-care: your foundation for well-being

Self-care is more than eating well, getting enough sleep, or taking occasional rest. It’s about consciously caring for yourself: listening to your body and paying attention to what’s going on inside you — every day, not only in stressful times.

Good self-care starts with getting to know yourself better: feeling your needs, understanding your patterns, and recognizing what gives you energy or drains it. It’s not a quick fix to keep going on, but a way of living that supports you and helps you stay balanced.

Self-care is personal and evolves with you and your life. It’s not about perfection, but about choices that truly suit you.

The coaching pillars

Focus: Self-care

Good care for your body, mind, and emotional world is essential for a healthy and balanced life.

Your healthy self

Everything is interconnected — that’s why we take a holistic view together.

Heart - body - mind balance

Heart (emotion), body and mind form one whole — balance between the three supports our well-being.

Your conscious self

Living, feeling, choosing, and being consciously: the more consciously you lead your life, the more peace and balance you experience.

Self knowledge

Deep self-awareness and self-acceptance form the foundation for greater self-worth, autonomy, resilience, and life energy.

This is how it works: We begin with an intake (introductory session), during which we explore your question and what is currently the most relevant for your health. This forms the basis for your personal goal and our further direction.

My approach combines scientific insights from epigenetics with the power of awareness — a unique approach focused on sustainable change.

Self-responsibility

We all take responsibility for our own well-being and health. How we treat ourselves, listen to our body, and are willing to adjust our lifestyle has a significant impact on how we feel and live.

Coaching requires commitment from both of us, always at your own pace and with your freedom of choice. You decide what works for you — you are ultimately the expert of your own life.

Time for yourself

Choosing coaching means consciously taking time and attention for yourself. Deepening, change, and developing good self-care require space and commitment.
That is why I usually work with a minimum of five sessions, depending on your question and goals.

Your body works for you every day. With attention and awareness, you can support it — and create more balance and vitality from within.

FAQ's

An epigenetics coach supports people in making lifestyle choices that positively impact their health.

Supporting your genes: By aligning and optimizing these factors — in a way that suits you personally — you help your genes perform at their best to support your health and well-being.

Coaching and therapy differ in focus and approach. Coaching provides guidance & support in areas like personal development, overcoming challenges, and implementing a healthy and conscious lifestyle. What else? Coaching is solution-focused and oriented toward the future. A coach does not make promises for things like healing.
And therapy? Therapy often focuses more on the past and helps process emotional issues or trauma and reduce psychological symptoms. A therapist works on deeper mental or emotional blockages and helps you better manage feelings or behaviors that impact your daily life.
In a holistic approach, a person is viewed as a whole — physically, emotionally, and mentally. Knowledge of epigenetics & awareness serves as the foundation for this coaching. And important: All aspects of your life are interconnected and form the pillars of your health & well-being.
A coaching session lasts either 60 or 90 minutes, depending on the program/topic of the session. For example, advice on nutrition, sleep hygiene or the results of a DNA test is typically a 60-minute session. Conversations and/or interventions involving mental topics require more time and last 90 minutes.
This always depends on your needs and goals. However, lifestyle changes and/or personal development require time. My recommendation: plan for at least 5 coaching sessions — depending on the topic and your own goals en questions.
Only your experience can truly tell you ;-). During our introductory session, we will get to know each other without any commitment, and we’ll look together at your questions and goals. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of what this coaching entails and, of course, of me as your coach. Then it’s up to you to consider if you feel confident and comfortable in this setting. As a coach, I encourage you: always openly discuss with me what is on your mind — at any point throughout the coaching journey :-).
Everything is allowed!
And no — you really don’t have to be afraid that everything has to change. I'm not here to forbid you anything — and it's not my place to decide for you. It’s your life — and these are your choices. 😊
A healthy lifestyle is about balance — and about what you need, right now, in this phase of your life. Together, we'll explore which patterns may no longer serve you, and what changes could bring you more calm, energy, and resilience.
It’s important to understand: there’s no such thing as the perfect self-care or lifestyle. What works is personal and tailor-made. That’s why we’ll look together at what feels right for you — and what makes you feel truly 'sparkly'.
Depending on the topic we are working on together, you may occasionally receive exercises or assignments to work on at home. This is intended to help you practice techniques or reinforce new insights within yourself, bringing about and implementing lasting changes in your life. This is always offered as a suggestion, not a requirement. It’s up to you: you decide what works for you and what will help you progress. You are the expert on your own life!
The costs vary depending on the duration and purpose of the coaching. You can choose a specific program from the offerings or e.g. for a flexible coaching approach focused on a particular issue. Together, we will determine what best suits you, your needs and your goals.
Please keep in mind: Sustainable changes and integration into your life take time. During the coaching process, we will always decide together how and for how long to continue the sessions. You can find more about the rates and programs on the ‘Offerings’ page.
