Hi, I'm Clara!
I support people of every age in finding their strength, their self-love and their trust, so they can move through life with joy and lightness.
On my own path I learned to accept myself kindly, to turn obstacles into openings and to face the things that hurt and frightened me. That experience is what allows me to help others change their lives today. With my The 5 for Life method I have developed a 360° approach that creates deep wellbeing through self-care on every level, and a healthy connection between body, mind and emotions. I would love to support you on your own very personal journey.
My story.
I grew up in an environment shaped by depression and existential fear. I often felt alone, and I developed a performance-driven personality early on. "Higher, further, faster, more" ran my days from then on, even though what I really longed for, deep down, was to feel safe.
After several years living abroad I started a career at a large media company, but the emptiness stayed. For a long time my job was everything to me. I thought that if I just did everything perfectly, happiness would arrive eventually. So I distracted myself: overworking, sport, parties – anything but a pause. That worked for years, until I became a mother. I was happy in my new role, but the responsibility and the intensity of my feelings overwhelmed me. I was exhausted, and I was not listening to what I needed.
Then came the full crisis. I was filled with fear, I had lost my aliveness and my belief in myself and my abilities. Today I know what had been missing: meaning, passion, and a connection to myself. For years I had told myself I was not good enough, not beautiful enough, not successful enough.
I asked for help, and I began to understand myself through hypnotherapy, energy work and coaching. During my training as a Spiritual Life Coach with Laura Malina Seiler I realised there was far more in me than I had ever allowed myself to live. Step by step, I found my strength and my joy again.
And here I am now: life coach, meditation and yoga teacher, with a passion for good food, a lot of life experience and a journey through my own pain behind me. That is what makes me the coach I am today.
Healing happens when you are willing to look – including into the dark corners.
Fulfilment does not come from the outside – a healthy inner world is the key to happiness!
This is what I learned...
I welcome all of my feelings, I feel into them and I look at what they are trying to show me. I live in a way that fits me, independent of what others expect. I pay attention to my needs and my boundaries. I take time out to reconnect with my intuition and then live by it. I know what I want, who I am and what I want to bring into the world. And still, new challenges keep arriving for me too. But today I know how to help myself, and every time I choose trust and love again instead of fear.
I know what it feels like on "the other side", and I know that fear shows up whenever we want to change. But only by leaving the comfort zone can we grow and build a life that is genuinely our own.
The wonderful feedback from my coachees encourages me every day to help people let go of what they no longer need and to heal what hurts. And I know you can do this too!
10 things I believe in
Again and again I come across pieces of wisdom that spark something in me, shift my perspective and lead me back into the light in dark moments. These 10 insights are ones I would not want to be without ...
No light without shadow. Everything in life is polarity. We need the one to recognise the other.
The only moment we have is NOW. Don't live towards your goals – make the way there the goal.
You can be the sweetest, most beautiful peach in the world, and there will still be someone who doesn't like peaches.
Life is movement. Challenges will keep coming. You were born to grow through them.
Understand that you cannot change the past, but you can change the way you look at it.
To be a creator means: I notice and direct my thoughts, and with them I create my life.
In any moment I can decide anew and take a different direction.
Life is ALWAYS for me. Everything is exactly right as it is. Not: everything will be fine – everything already is fine.
Comparison is your greatest enemy. Being human means imperfection by definition. If we were all perfect, we would all be the same.
All fear lives in the future. Most of it is purely hypothetical and will never come true.
