I was born in East Germany in 1970 and became a mother to a son in 2007. My professional path began with training as a seamstress, and later I studied veterinary medicine for a few years. With acupuncture, I combined both – the needles with medicine – and I switched to working with people. Like a tailor, in acupuncture I need the right mindset, empathy, knowledge, and skills to support the beauty and wholeness of the person I am able to perceive in the moment. And that has nothing to do with what I think would be good for them or of recommending that they have to change themselves. To master that, I have to do a lot of inner and outer work and to train my consciousness. To help to survive, to support, and to heal others is as effective as being my own savior, supporter, and healer. When I'm alive, accepting my becoming, can nourish and protect myself and feel secure in myself with the ability to communicate adaequately from within - there is peace. That enables healing power/true love. The more I succeed in treating me well and illuminating, processing and feeling through my wounds and scars, my emotions and experiences, the better I am able to treat others. That's the core of my work. It challenges my entire being and is my endless path of learning, of experiencing and how to act in the world—again and again. And often I fail. That has nothing to do with a goal but with diving into the depths of multidimensionality. This very interesting path isn't always comfortable, but it's the only possible one for me - it's a promise to myself - a promise to try to be truly honest to my heart. And this is my current understanding of the Dao, yin and yang, pre- and postnatal qi.
