Breath, COLD & Focus
When I was a kid, I didn't want to keep my head under water: Not being able to breathe panicked me. Even as an adult, after hundreds of tank dives and being a certified scuba rescue diver, without air, I could stand it under water for a few moments only. Then I read about an apnea diving course with money-back guarantee if you can't hold your breath for three minutes after one week. Full of scepticism, I travelled to a course at the sea in 2015. A few days later I had held my breath for over four minutes and had dived twenty meters without air. The water taught me that not primarily effort leads to success and better performance, but strong clear thoughts supported by healthy breathing.
In my seminars I therefore prefer to combine learning content with activities, that involve our body. As most powerful tools for joyful best performances in sports, business and private life, I have found trainings with a combination of breathing and focus exercises. I love to provide and support a cold experience, whenever the setting and the clients preferences allow for it. Cold water offers a unique opportunity to train our breathing and focus in a stressful situation, while benefitting from a number of healthy side effects.

Dare to Dare
As Seneca said so well, "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult." Most people at the end of life regret not what they did, but what they did not dare to do. I am fortunate in that my longing is always just a little bit bigger than my fear and provides me the courage I need to keep jumping into the unknown: As a teenager I attended high school in the USA, in my mid-twenties I studied in Colombia, in my mid-thirties I built up a diving resort in the Philippines, together with my husband and kids. And I was always rewarded with enriching experiences and relationships. With this confidence, that everything is always working out for us, I enthusiastically accompany people in using their own resources to follow their longing.
