Meditation allows you to walk your path more gracefully.
My personal path
Born and raised in a small city in the east of Germany, I decided that it was time to see something of the world and broaden my mind at the age of 19. Before my travels, meditation to me sounded like hippies dancing around the fire, and I had absolutely no idea that one day I would teach this wonderful life tool!
After having seen a bit of the world, I got more and more interested in personal development and with it, meditation. I first graduated from my bachelor’s in economics and then obtained a master’s degree in human resources, both of which in Rotterdam.
Throughout my studies I grew on the path of meditation through daily practice and eventually went to India to experience deeper states of being in a 10-day Vipassana retreat and during a 300h meditation teacher training. Meditation has helped me to breathe, ground myself in challenging situations and connect deeper with myself and others. Now, it is time for me to give back and share the power of mindfulness and meditation with as many people as possible.
The path of Mind Anchor
After 3 years of daily meditation practice and noticing the benefits for myself and the relationships in my life, I felt the calling to share what I had learned and spread the word about and experience of meditation to as many people as I possibly could.
At the time I was dealing with massive imposter syndrome questioning my abilities, but after having gathered the courage to facilitate the first workshop for the student association Extraordinary Life, I was delighted to experience so much positive feedback and kept going from there.
Since then, I have facilitated meditations and workshops for my internship colleagues at Randstad, during self-discovery & connection retreats and for study colleagues at Erasmus University Rotterdam. 2023 was a year full of growth and I had the opportunity to create and facilitate the first ever edition of the Mindful Connection Course - a 6-week exploration of connecting to the self, others and the world around us.
In the process of creating this course for students at Erasmus University Rotterdam, Mind Anchor came into existence. The goal of Mind Anchor is to create spaces that enable individuals to breathe, fully embrace the present moment, and foster connections with themselves, others, and the world through the beautiful tool of meditation.
With this mission, I am now spreading the tools for a more mindful living to different universities and organisations and specifically to students and young professionals.
Let’s meditate together.
