There comes a time in our lives when everything seems to stand still. The old way of life no longer feels right, but the way forward is still unclear. For me, this inner journey began after my divorce — a time full of emotions, questions and deep uncertainty. At the same time, my daughter started to experience panic attacks. We sought help, but nothing really seemed to work.
Until I found my way inside.
In my search for answers I have followed various training courses in spiritual coaching, psychosomatics and spiritual psychologyWhat began as a quest for healing became a profound transformation—not just for me, but for my children as well.
Today I guide others on their path of awakening and healing. Below I share the 7 essential steps that have helped me (and many clients) to get closer to themselves and truly live from connection, freedom and trust.
Spiritual Awakening: 7 Essential Steps for Personal Growth
Recognize the desire for change
Everything starts with a feeling of 'it's not right anymore'. That restlessness is not a weakness, but a cry from your soul. Give yourself permission to search for a new truth.
2. Embrace your pain and old emotions
Pain is not something to push away. It is a gateway to awareness. By dwelling on old wounds, space is created for healing. For me, this process began at the very moment that everything seemed to break.
3. Dive into yourself
Through training in psychosomatics and spiritual psychology, among other things, I learned that body, mind and soul form one whole. Everything you experience has meaning.
4. Connect with your body
The body never lies. Through breathwork, body-oriented therapy and intuitive exercises you will learn to recognize signals — and trust your own inner wisdom.
5. Ask for help
You don’t have to do it alone. I sought help — and found teachers, courses, books, and ultimately my calling. Give yourself a guide on your path, someone who knows the path because she’s walked it herself.
6. Live from your heart
When you learn to listen to your heart, peace arises. The battle between head and feeling disappears and you experience that your truth is not outside, but inside you.
7. Carry your light further
When you wake up, it's not just your life that changes. Your environment changes with you. My children have also grown tremendously in this journey. Spiritual growth works like a wave: it touches everything you love.
Spiritual awakening is not a destination
Spiritual awakening is not a destination, but a special journey to yourself. It takes courage to let go of old patterns, to look honestly at what you feel, and to embrace the unknown. But believe me — it is more than worth it.
This journey has profoundly changed my life. And I know that if I can do it, so can you.
Do you feel it is time for change? Are you stuck in old emotions or are you looking for clarity in your life? Then I would like to guide you - with love, attention and from my own experience. Together we discover the way back to your strength, peace and joy of life.

Thank you for writing this… I thought I was going crazy, now I understand this is a process of awakening!!!
Indeed when you start to awaken, you feel anxious, feel that something is not right…you can also see something and become more sensitive.
In the beginning you want to refuse everything but certain situations, words, people etc. come back to help you accept this.
You are not alone! There are many people who are also looking for answers.
I'd love to hear from anyone else who's gone crazy, haha 🙂
