Born of over 20 years walking alongside leaders and seekers — across continents and thresholds — rooted in personal experience, deep study, and cross-cultural wisdom.
Welcome
to a sanctuary for strategic minds & free spirits who find themselves at life’s inner thresholds — navigating loss, exhaustion, or the aching question, “Who am I now?”
Your Wisdom Is Within
You’re not something to fix.
You don’t have to perform or prove.
You already hold the answers — even if they feel far away.
I walk beside you as you begin to trust that wisdom again, embody it, and live from it — with clarity, compassion & courage.
The Threshold
You’ve achieved, cared, supported, led. You’ve held it all together — often with quiet strength and grace — even as your world grew heavy. Too many “shoulds.” Too many expectations. The pressure to conform, the fear of disappointing, the sense you have to do it all alone.
Thinking harder no longer brings clarity. The mind loops, the body aches, joy feels far away. Outward success looks polished, but inside it feels hollow…
Then it arrives: exhaustion you can no longer override. A loss that cracks you open. Or a restlessness whispering, “This isn’t me.”
This moment isn’t failure. It’s a sacred pause - time to remember, shed what no longer fits, and reconnect with what’s real.
Why This Work Matters
In a world obsessed with performance and quick wins, we’re taught to override our signals — to numb our truth, silence our needs, push our bodies, and hustle for worth.
We learn to survive by staying busy, sharp, and endlessly in motion. It keeps life moving, but at a cost: the slow disconnection from what truly matters.
This work matters because you free yourself from inherited expectations, reclaim your inner compass, and restore connection.
From hustle for worth → to worth from within.
The Invitation
Step into The Altitude Room — SUKAVANA’s signature experience for those navigating deep inner gateways. Here, you rise above the noise, shifting from overwhelm, looping thoughts, doubt, and distress into deep trust and embodied clarity. This changes how you live, lead, and love.
A co-creative 1:1 space to meet your whole self: mind, body, spirit, and cultural landscape.
We work with the body, the moment, the mystery.
We move, we listen, we feel, we reorient — honestly and tenderly — toward what’s next.
Because real change begins in experience.
Rooted in modern science - psychology, neuroscience, behavioural science - and traditional wisdom, this integrative process is about reclaiming what’s truly you, with kindness and courage.
This isn’t about forcing momentum or burning it all down. It’s about re-connection - as truth is remembered.
The Shift
As your awareness expands, the noise softens and you stop outsourcing your self-worth and performing what was never truly yours. You shift from chaos → calm, pressure → alignment, overthinking → trust, concepts → courageous, soul-led action. From that place,
direction returns,
decisions become clear,
relationships feel lighter, more honest,
vitality flows back,
you move with presence, and deep self-confidence,
and create impact without burning out.
What You Can Count On
Expertise & supervision. Only what’s tried and proven to work. No fluff.
Lived experience. I’ve walked through liminal spaces — loss, exhaustion, reinvention, and life across continents What I offer isn’t theory, but embodied practice.
Human and steady. Compassionate, challenging, creative.
Structure & flow. Logic and intuition, discipline and grace — held in balance.
A calm place at your pace. Not much extra time — we integrate into life; learning emerges naturally in day-to-day practice.
Intuition remembered. You already carry what you need; we experiment with dignity toward your next chapter.
Why We Work With Our Body
Because thinking differently
starts with moving differently,
as our body carries the memories
our mind has forgotten.
For the brave hearts & thoughtful souls ready to embrace full colour...
What We Do Together
This work is grounded, experiential, and co-created — without judgment or pressure.
We draw from conversation and stillness, body-based practices, reflection and inquiry, creative and expressive tools.
These practices support you to reconnect with your body, calm the mental noise, access your intuition and make choices that feel aligned — at your pace and in your way.
Is This For You?
This space is for you if you’re longing for honesty, depth, and a more embodied way of living,
& if you’re ready to embrace self-acceptance as the foundation, and learn to hold what is — even when it feels messy or uncertain.
This may not be the right fit if you seek fast answers, overnight results, or external validation. And that’s okay — we all have different seasons.
Imagine this…
A few months — or even years — from now,
if you keep turning away from this threshold,
if you keep overriding your intuition,
life may still look ‘fine’ on the outside.
But inside, the ache may remain.
Your body could feel tighter.
A quiet disconnection may take root.
Your spark may still feel out of reach.
This isn’t about fear.
It’s about honesty — about honouring the part of you that already knows: staying in the familiar has its own cost. One only you can choose to face.
And there’s another way - available when you’re ready.

My Roots
I’ve walked many roads — from corporate boardrooms to inner wilderness. I’ve navigated many deep shifts — and learned to live inside unanswered questions.
Born in Berlin, shaped by life in London, Melbourne, Cape Town, and travels beyond, I’ve spent over 20 years working with leaders and seekers across cultures and industries.
What I’ve learned?
Transformation doesn’t come as a quick download. It begins in the quiet courage to meet ourselves as we are. And there’s no blueprint or a single method for everyone. At the heart of it is re-connection.
As an Executive Coach (ICF/EMCC) with a cross-cultural practice, I blend contemporary research, evidence-based practice with enduring wisdom.
But titles don’t always matter here. What matters is learning to embrace our uniqueness, to honour our own path — free from societal pressure — and to lead with presence and joy, deeply connected to ourselves and each other.
SUKAVANA is where that journey begins.
