That's me

I grew up here in green Styria as the eldest of seven children. After graduating from high school, I spent a year in America as an au pair and then enrolled in psychology studies here in Graz, switching after four semesters to become a teacher of English and music. After completing my studies, I established a private kindergarten and simultaneously completed a course to become a registered childminder.

The following years were marked by several births, numerous moves, stays abroad, and further education, during which time I was primarily privileged to guide my (bonus) children through life. I consider it an immense gift to be married again and am a firm believer in "new opportunities," even if my last name is now a bit more difficult to spell!

Now that five of our six children have left the nest, I am delighted to contribute my experience and skills to the personal guidance and support of people in different phases of life, and to create a space with the Nest where my clients feel safe, can heal, develop, and dare to try new things. A place where they can experience that life, while not perfect, is capable of healing!
