Professional Bio
A Lifelong Devotion to Healing, Connection, and Conscious Horsemanship
My journey with healing and horses began in 1986, assisting in therapeutic riding sessions in the countryside of Hesse, Germany. Since then, I’ve spent decades blending ancient wisdom, modern science, and intuitive connection into a truly integrative approach to well-being—for both humans and horses.
I bring together my training in naturopathy, trauma therapy, yoga, psychology, somatics, and equine behavior to help others cultivate nervous system balance, emotional resilience, authentic leadership, and sacred horse-human relationships. This is more than a career. It’s a calling.

Equine Work & Liberty-Based Horsemanship
- From my earliest days in therapeutic riding to the creation of the SAFE+™ Method and Connected Harmony Liberty Horsemanship, horses have always been my greatest teachers. My work centers on trauma-informed liberty training, intuitive communication, and deep co-regulation between horse and human.
- Since 2010, I have co-facilitated equine-assisted leadership trainings with my husband Ralf—a seasoned CEO and Maslow Certified Executive Leadership and Executive Coach. Together, we have supported numerous corporate clients in experiencing embodied leadership through connection with our herd of 10 horses.
- Between 2009 and today, I’ve completed numerous courses in natural horsemanship, liberty training, equine-assisted coaching, and equine behavior—continually refining my understanding of horse psychology, relational safety, and liberty-based partnership.
- I am also currently in training in the Masterson Method® of Integrative Equine Bodywork, deepening my ability to help horses release tension, restore mobility, and regulate their nervous systems through intuitive, hands-on techniques.
Spiritual Studies & Meditation Practice
- For over 25 years, I have immersed myself in Eastern philosophy and Buddhist teachings, with a devoted practice of Vipassana meditation. These spiritual foundations have deeply shaped my presence, awareness, and the way I guide both humans and horses toward greater inner stillness, connection, and truth.
- Courses in Fundamentals of Shamanism and Shamanic Self-Mastery with Shamanic Spirit Medicine & Scott Silverston.
- Certificate in Sound Healing – Lifechanging Energy Institute.
A Life in Devotion
- Each step of my journey—each certification, horse, teacher, and client—has become part of a greater tapestry that honors the wisdom of the body, the intelligence of the heart, and the sacredness of connection.
- Whether I’m supporting a woman in reclaiming her power, helping a horse release old trauma, or guiding a corporate team toward presence and integrity, my work is about returning to what is true, alive, and whole.
