About

Burnout is not a workload problem. It is a nervous system problem. And that changes everything about how you solve it. I am a Master Hypnotherapist and stress specialist with over a decade of training across clinical hypnotherapy, breathwork, respiratory therapy, yoga, and corporate health management. I work with individuals and companies to identify the specific unconscious patterns driving stress and rewire them at the source, not the surface. My approach is different from traditional wellness programmes in one fundamental way: I do not manage symptoms. I go to the neural pattern underneath because that is where lasting change actually happens. What I bring to companies: — Stress Identity Profiling: identifying the dominant stress patterns running in a team — Neural Pattern Reset: evidence-based sessions that address stress at the root level — A 90-day results guarantee: we track stress markers at day 1, day 30, and day 90. If the numbers do not move, we come back. Free. My qualifications: — Master in Hypnotherapy, TherMedius Institute Berlin — specialisations in burnout, depression, trauma, pain therapy, and hypnosis for children — 8 certifications in Hatha, Yin, and Kundalini Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Breathwork & Respiratory Therapy — Certified in Corporate Health Management (WBS Training AG, Berlin) — Certified Death Attendant & End-of-Life Care Worker (Bodhicharya, Berlin) — Degree in Mathematics and Art, Freie Universität Berlin If you are an HR Director, founder, or people leader who is done with wellness programmes that do not work — let's talk. → Book a free taster session: I bring a live 45-minute stress session directly to you and your decision makers — no pitch, no pressure. Just the work. You experience it yourself before committing to anything.
