There is a woman in Vienna who you’ll see squatting on the lawns of the Prater park, swaddling along with her view fixed upon the grass. She comes here regularly during spring time with a knife in her hand.
What is she doing?

I tell you. She is collecting intensity.

This woman is me and I strongly dislike green salad.

Nature gifts us with the most delicious and healthy plants and we take them and turn them into rather bleak tasting, but proper looking supermarket products. Why on earth does green salad exist? It carries no taste, it’s consistency is 95% boring and only pretends to be healthy.

That’s why I turn away from some weird looks and “Are you serious?” comments and turn towards the leaves of the dandelion. It’s the Ronja or Aragorn of salads – lives in the wilderness and has a strong character.

I prepare the leaves with warm potatoes, apple vinegar and the strongly flavored dark green oil of pumpkin seeds.

This is me saying: I don’t like watered down experiences. I like to have the full taste. I’m not interested in the pretense. I’m into the deep stuff.

My coaching isn’t about having a nice conversation. It’s not a green salad.

Coaching with me challenges you to go for the truth. An honesty that might be uncomfortable but is necessary for transformation.

I make sure that you feel safe to open up and be vulnerable, but my job is not to make you as comfortable as possible.

Growth doesn’t look like a glasshouse-grown tomato, but like the sturdy dandelion leaves that have grown in all weather and that eventually give rise to a rich flower that nourishes many insects around it.

If you want to experience the depths of your own true nature, I might be your coach. If you are interested in deep transformation, have at least one hour per day for yourself and are committed to taking responsibility for your happiness, comment below or reach out to me in private and we’ll have a conversation if we are a good fit.
