Guidance·Meditation·Funeral speeches
Some transitions take time.
After a loss, through a separation or when a great deal is changing at once, we look at it together. Online or in person in Velbert and the surrounding area, in English or German. You can also learn an effortless approach to meditation, or receive a personal funeral speech from me for a farewell in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Where you can start
1:1 guidance
Regular conversations about what’s difficult right now. A separation, a decision or a period that feels stuck. Online from anywhere or in person in Velbert and the surrounding area.
Meditation
You learn an effortless approach to meditation that you can continue practising independently afterwards. Individually or in a small group, online or in person in Velbert and the surrounding area.
For farewells
After a death, you’ll find support in your grief here, and I write a personal funeral speech for the person it’s about. There are also farewell speeches and laudations for other significant goodbyes.
What guidance is
Some situations cannot be resolved quickly.
The death of someone close, a separation, exhaustion or a change where it isn’t yet clear what comes next.
Here, someone listens to you closely. And when we’re talking around something, I name it openly.
In guidance, we sort through what’s happening and what could help you in practical terms. We take time for what can otherwise easily get left behind in everyday life. What you share stays between us.
About
Who you will be working with
Here you can find out which experiences and training lie behind this work. Meditation has been part of it for many years, and later came supporting people, working as a speaker and systemic constellation work.

1:1 guidance · exhaustion · grief support
Free initial consultation (30 minutes)
In the initial consultation we get to know each other and talk about what brings you here. You’ll get an honest view of whether this guidance fits your concern. If it feels right for both of us, we discuss what a next step could look like.
Podcasts
Conversations about farewells, life and transitions
In two podcasts you can hear conversations with different people about meditation, change, farewells, loss and spirituality. Roots of Ascension is an English-language podcast created with Shambhu Salminen; Hit by a Butterfly is in German and English.
Testimonials
What others say about working together
“
After my mother died, those conversations were the first place where I no longer felt so alone. There was room for everything, including the things I say to no one else. – Leyla, 37
Grief support
“
The speech showed our father as he really was, dry humour and all. Several guests told us afterwards that they had recognised him in it. – Ricardo, 43
Funeral speech
“
I arrived with a knot of work, children, separation and exhaustion. Not everything is resolved yet, but I now know what comes first, and I sleep through the night again. – Vanessa, 47

Frequently asked questions
What people often want to know beforehand
How do I know which kind of guidance fits my concern?
You don’t need to choose an offer in advance. In the free initial consultation, we talk about what’s happening. You’ll hear openly which form of guidance might fit, and also if someone else would be better suited to your concern.
How does the free initial consultation work?
The conversation lasts 30 minutes and is free. You share what this is about, we clarify first questions and see whether working together feels right for both of us. If it does, we then discuss the next sensible step.
Can I request a funeral speech at short notice?
Yes. If a funeral is approaching, it’s best to get in touch directly. Funerals take priority in the calendar, and a speech can often be prepared within a few days.
If you would like to talk or would rather write first.
For 1:1 guidance, support for exhaustion and grief support, you can arrange a free initial consultation (30 minutes). For meditation, systemic constellation work, funeral speeches or other enquiries, send me a message directly.
