Welcome to SUKAVANA
A sanctuary for strategic minds & free spirits standing at life’s inner thresholds — whether emerging through loss, exhaustion, or the aching question, “Who am I now?”
Your Wisdom Is Within You ~
You’re not something to fix.
You don’t have to perform or prove.
You already hold the answers — even if they feel far away.
I’m here to walk beside you as you begin to trust that wisdom again, embody it, and live from it — with clarity, compassion & courage.
Inner Thresholds
You’ve lived deeply.
You’ve achieved, cared, supported, led.
You’ve held it all together — often with quiet strength and grace — even as your inner world began to grow heavy.
There are too many “shoulds.”
Too many voices.
Too many expectations.
The pressure to conform… the fear of disappointing others… the sense that you have to do it all alone.
And then it arrives —
maybe as exhaustion you can no longer override.
A loss that cracks your world open.
Or a restlessness whispering, “This isn’t me.”
Then Comes A Moment
When thinking harder no longer brings clarity.
When pushing harder no longer brings results.
When the mind loops, your body aches and joy feels far away.
When success looks full on the outside but feels strangely hollow within.
When the path that once felt right begins to blur.
When life asks you - quietly or cataclysmically - to pause.
This moment isn’t failure.
It’s the beginning of a new chapter.
The Challenge
In a world obsessed with performance and quick fixes, we’re taught to override our inner signals - numb our truth, silence our needs, push our bodies, hustle for worth.
We learn to survive by staying busy, sharp, and endlessly in motion.
From the outside, life may look polished - even successful. But inside, something feels fragmented. Disconnected. Incomplete.
And yet, you sense there’s more.
More coherence. More meaning. More you.
You already hold the wisdom for a bold, fulfilling life.
Something Is Shifting
This is a sacred pause.
To remember.
To shed what no longer fits.
To make space for what’s more real now.
To reconnect with what matters most.
More Truth. More Trust. More Aliveness.
A Space To Release
And when you're standing at an inner threshold, you don’t need more pressure or strategies.
You need a space to lay it all down - the overthinking, the uncertainty, the weight of needing to “get it right” or earn approval.
SUKAVANA offers that space.
A steady presence that holds you - fully - when the old ways no longer serve and the new ones have yet to take shape.
The Invitation
Step into
The Altitude Room
Your inner compass.
Your next chapter.
If you’re navigating deep inner shifts and ready to move toward more aliveness, this is where we begin.
The Altitude Room - SUKAVANA’s signature 1:1 experience.
This is a grounded and responsive process where deep companionship unfolds - meeting the whole person: mind, body, spirit, and the cultural landscape you move through.
It’s rooted in ancient wisdom, informed by modern science, and designed to honour and nourish every part of you.
This is a sacred space to honour your pain, your questions, your doubts, your dreams, and joy. Here it’s not about self-optimisation — it’s about self-reclamation.
Here, we slow down - to shift from mental chaos - overthinking, self-doubt, quiet distress - into clarity and steady, embodied trust. Here you experience the shift not just in thought, but in how you live, lead, and love.
You bring your tangled questions, meet yourself with fresh eyes, and begin again - not from striving but from inner knowing - through deep curiosity, compassion and brave experimentation.
We meet the body, the moment, the mystery.
We listen deeply. We remember. We reorient.
We move with integrity toward what’s next.
There’s no dogma or need to hold it all together. This isn’t about fixing or forcing forward momentum. You don’t have to burn it all down.
It’s about remembering and reconnecting - with your body, your intuition, and the moment right in front of you.
Because clarity isn’t something you chase - it’s something you return to. Because the answers you seek aren’t in the noise - and your next chapter is asking for a deeper kind of alignment.
What We Do Together
For the brave hearts and thoughtful souls ready to live in full colour
The work is grounded, experiential, and co-created.
Together, we create a steady, attuned space where you can bring your full self — without judgment or pressure.
We draw from
conversation and stillness,
somatic awareness and nervous system insights and practices,
embodiment and grounded experimentation,
mindful self-observation and reflective inquiry,
creative and expressive tools.
These practices meet you where you are - support you to listen to your body, calm the mental noise, access your own wisdom, and make aligned choices — at your pace and in your way.
This is a living, adaptive process — shaped by what’s alive for you in each moment — in service of clarity, inner trust, and meaningful forward movement - with integrity and grace.
The Shift
You shift from:
Chaos → to calm
Outer pressure → to inner alignment
Overthinking → to trust
Reactivity → to mindful response
Concepts → to courageous, soul-led action
Disconnection → to wholeness—mind, body, heart, and spirit
Decisions become clear.
Direction returns.
You begin to live, lead, and love from the inside out, returning to what’s already here.
As your awareness expands, the inner noise softens.
Your nervous system steadies.
You begin to feel safe enough to transform.
Old patterns surface, without judgement, simply with compassion.
You stop performing what was never truly yours.
You stop outsourcing your self-worth.
You come home to yourself.
From that place, you move with presence, clarity, and deep self-trust - beyond fear and habit.
You reclaim your vitality.
Life deepens - regaining meaning and richness.
Your relationships feel lighter, more real.
You create impact without burning out.
You reconnect with your embodied truth.
Why Work With Me?
I’ve crossed many thresholds - through severe loss, deep exhaustion, moving countries, and learning to live inside unanswered questions. What I offer isn’t theory - it’s lived experience.
In those early years, I often walked alone. Coaching and mentoring weren’t available to me. Now, I hold the steady, clear, and quietly transformative space I once needed.
No formulas. No fixing. No fluff. Just honest presence, compassionate challenge, and deep remembering.
This is where your clarity returns — where you begin to hear and feel yourself again, reconnecting with your inner compass.
I walk beside you until you remember: you’ve been whole all along.
Instead of pushing, performing, or overthinking, we meet differently — in a space where you can lay down old strategies and move forward in a way that feels honest, spacious, and uniquely yours.
Structure and flow. Logic and intuition. Discipline and grace. We meet you where you are.
Why We Work With Our Body & Intuition
Because thinking differently starts with moving differently, as our body carries the memories our mind has forgotten.
Is This For You?
The Altitude Room is for Recovering Overthinkers, Quiet Visionaries, Brave Feelers, & Wise Rebels - those standing at a quiet but powerful inner threshold.
When you’re ready to begin shifting from self-doubt and self-sabotage toward embodied clarity, deep trust & unapologetic aliveness.
This space welcomes you if you’re committed to meeting yourself with honesty, embracing self-acceptance as the foundation, and learning to hold what is — even when it feels messy or uncertain.
This may not be the right fit if you're seeking quick fixes, external validation, or fast results without depth. And that’s okay — we all have different seasons.
Ready For Your Next Chapter?
If you’ve outgrown the race for external validation - and feel the quiet ache for something truer, clearer, more alive - know that you’re not alone.
Sometimes, the next step isn’t out there.
It’s time to remember.
This is where your next chapter can begin — more embodied, more real.
This is where The Altitude Room was made for you.
Imagine this:
A few months—or years—from now...
If you keep turning away from this threshold,
If you continue overriding what your inner knowing is trying to tell you,
life may still look “fine” on the outside.
But inside, the quiet ache may linger.
A sense of disconnection might remain.
Your clarity, vitality, and deeper self could still feel just out of reach.
This isn’t about fear. It’s about honesty.
About honouring the part of you that already knows:
Staying in what’s familiar has its own cost.
And there’s another way — available when you’re ready.
The true gifts of coaching go beyond logic. They're felt — in the heart, in the body, in the whole of who you are.
Step into the experience.

My Roots
I’ve walked many roads — from corporate boardrooms to inner wilderness.
Born in Berlin, shaped by life in London, Melbourne, Cape Town, and travels beyond, I’ve spent over 20 years working with leaders and seekers across cultures and industries.
What I’ve learned? Transformation doesn’t come as a quick download from a workshop. It lives in the quiet courage to meet ourselves as we are.
As an executive coach with training in embodiment, positive psychology, mental fitness, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches, I integrate modern science with ancient wisdom.
But titles don’t always matter here. What matters is learning to embrace our uniqueness, to walk our own path — free from societal pressure — and to lead with presence and joy, deeply connected to ourselves and each other.
SUKAVANA is where that journey begins.
