Your questions

Sometimes change
begins with a question.

You do not need to know where you are heading yet. A conversation can give you space to sort your thoughts and consider your next step.

01

When something changes.

A career change, a farewell or a new phase of life: what used to feel familiar no longer fits. You want to find your bearings again.

02

When direction is missing.

Everyday life works in many ways. Yet you wonder what really matters to you and how you want to shape your path ahead.

03

When you want to reconnect with yourself.

You want time to pause, recognise your needs and make decisions with greater awareness.

My approach

Listen.
Pause.
Move forward.

You bring your questions. We look at them together.

Our conversation centres on what matters to you right now. I listen, ask questions and share perspectives from my life and training. You decide what feels right for you.

Meditation and conscious self-awareness shape my approach. The connection between spiritual practice and business responsibility is part of my own journey.

My counselling is not a substitute for medical, psychiatric or psychotherapeutic treatment. For mental health conditions, I expressly recommend seeking professional help.

My journey

A life of extremes
and connections.

From music to meditation to business, my path has rarely been a straight line. These different experiences shape how I meet people today.

1977

Music. Expression. Curiosity.

Music studies at the University of Graz, followed by freelance music in Berlin. It began with a search for expression and a curiosity about life in all its facets.

1980

A journey inwards.

At 23 I travelled to India and became a student of Osho (Bhagwan). Meditation and stillness fundamentally shaped my understanding of awareness, and remain part of my life today.

2010

Responsibility in the world.

Following music distribution and IT work at Siemens, I founded a group of companies in photovoltaics and real estate. I experienced what it means to make decisions and take responsibility.

Today

Bringing experience together.

In 2025 I ended my business involvement. Today I dedicate myself to spiritual life counselling, accompanying people as they explore their own questions.

My background

Different paths.
A personal approach.

These trainings and experiences form my background. My life counselling today is not medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.
