I grew up in Switzerland near Basel. I enjoyed a fortunate childhood together with my parents and my older brother. My parents cared for me and they supported me doing what I wanted to do. When I was eight years old I started to play the piano. I found a deep love and passion for music that lasts until today.
I went through the usual Swiss school education. When I was 17, I lived in Australia as an exchange student. I got to live on a horse farm for a year. Having a horse had been one of my dreams since childhood. This, and many other experiences I had that year, showed me that anything is possible.
Back in Switzerland I completed the Swiss school education and passed the Matura in December 2000. As soon as I finished school, I took off to India and Nepal. I started to explore life from a different perspective. I had a lot of fun playing with my intuition and following my excitement. The experiences I had that year awakened a deep curiosity for self-exploration.
After I got back to Switzerland I had no clue what I wanted to do next. I decided to do the “living on light process”, I had heard of a few years before. The first week of the process, where I didn’t drink or eat, I got clarity on what I wanted to do next. I wanted to study the piano with a Russian teacher in Basel.
The following two years I spent focusing on my piano studies and learning music theory. I loved it a lot and performed many times, either alone or doing chamber music projects. I also gave piano lessons. I was sure that I was going to finish my education and get my diploma. This would have taken about two more years. But life had other plans for me. My soul wanted more.
I was 21 years old, when I met Thomas Huebl and his work “Sharing the Presence”. The first Open evening with him was a very powerful and life changing experience for me. I decided to join his training group. A deep process of self-discovery and personal transformation started. The following two years I did many groups with Thomas and he inspired my life greatly.
In Summer I traveled around Europe. One evening in Berlin I was talking to a few people about saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to things. One man said, that many people have an automatic ‘no’ to things. I looked inside to see if I did that anywhere in my life. I found three things. There was a group with Thomas going on in London the following week, there was a group with Paul Lowe in California starting a few weeks later, and there was a trip around the world with Thomas planned at the end of the year. I had told myself that all these things were too expensive and that they wouldn’t fit in with my music studies. I had told myself, that I had to finish school first, and then I would be free to travel.
That night I changed my life. After that sharing about ‘yes’ and ‘no’, I felt what I was doing to myself, by telling myself , that ‘I had to’ finish school, before I was free to do what I wanted even more. I made a decision to quit my music education, to do all three of these trips and to go for the experiment of living my yes completely. I wanted to find out who I am and what life is really about. I wanted to know if what I was feeling was really true. I felt if it was true, it would also work out financially.
After that decision, my life exploded and expanded. I gave up everything in Switzerland, including my piano, and I went totally for my Self. Everything that has happened since then has been amazing, exciting, filled with love, honesty, courage, amazing people, beautiful places, abundance and joy. Life kept getting better and better. I became more and more alive, vulnerable, conscious and honest. I cleared many behavior patterns. I started to feel more than I had ever felt before. I lost a lot of fear and became more self confident. I got more and more clear with what I wanted to do. I learned that following my inner voice and living life with courage brings me closer to my self, my truth, my happiness and fulfillment.
Soon after my life changing decision I met James in Harbin Hot Springs. We became lovers and soon life partners. After losing my fears of intimacy, we were able to get very close and love each other deeply. For the past three years we are constantly living and working together. Sharing life with James is a lot of fun. One of my great joys is to support him and care for him. James supports me greatly to always have fun, to be happy all the time, to lose my conditionings, to be creative and to be my self. I love to explore life together with him and to find out more and more of what is possible. Weboth love to play and to explode our imaginations over and over .
Piano playing and music have come back into my life. Last year I gave a couple of piano evenings, where I was improvising. James and I like to sing together. Also in the groups I accompany some processes with music. At the moment I am playing with new styles and rhythms and I'm learning the drums and the electric bass.
In the groups and trainings I am assisting James, and I am translating from English to German and the other way around. I love translating, because it brings me into a state of giving that feels wonderful. My personality moves into the background and I can be totally present for everything that is happening in the group. In the breaks I love to connect with people and support them. I am managing our business. I am connecting with the organizers making sure everything is taken care of. I am dealing with financial things, the office work, responding to emails and phone calls and all the other practical things that need to be done. I also love taking careof our beautiful house where we have lived since March. I love making us a beautiful home.
Currently I am pregnant and I am looking forward to giving birth in July 2009.
I feel very blessed with my life and everything that comes to me. I frequently feel that I am the happiest person on the planet.
