I am anthropologist, communication, language and mental trainer and live in Freiburg. I'm interested in what shapes us as human beings, how we arrange our social relations and how we can better understand ourselves and others. I pass on my interdisciplinary theoretical and practical knowledge in my courses and coaching sessions. These are available in person in the Freiburg area (other locations on request) or regardless of location in online format, in English or German.

When differing perspectives lead to conflict, inefficiency, and frustration, intercultural training is essential. It fosters mutual understanding, improves communication, and prevents misunderstandings – thus bringing shared goals back into focus. My intercultural training programs are individually tailored to your situation, whether for intercultural teams, managers, or specific professional groups facing intercultural challenges.
- Understanding how cultural influences shape our thinking, feeling, actions, and communication styles.
- Systematic knowledge input on cultural differences
- Developing strategies for dealing with intercultural everyday life – on a communicative and emotional level

Special area: clinics and care facilities
In hospitals and care facilities, both staff and patients increasingly come from diverse cultural backgrounds. Language barriers and differing ways of thinking often lead to tensions and disruptions in workflow. I help you resolve or prevent these issues using simple and practical methods. For a more relaxed atmosphere within your teams!

- Coaching of teams and individuals in conflict situations
- Needs analyses & consultations
Special area: Universities
Universities are places of encounter and the exchange of knowledge – across national borders. Excellent intercultural support programs are essential for the successful internationalization of universities. I can help you develop such programs or actively support you with suitable courses.
- Workshops for students
- Support for international students (incoming and outgoing students)
- Development of customized learning materials for your internationalization programs
Stay abroad coachings
Whether it's for work migration, a work placement, a semester abroad, or a long journey – stays abroad are particularly valuable phases of life. New places, people, behaviors, and ways of thinking enrich and inspire us – and sometimes present us with significant challenges. Systematic knowledge of intercultural, social, and psychological aspects helps us cope with these internal and external changes.
- Preparation for stays abroad, support during the stay and return phase
- Mastering challenges and activating inner growth potential
- Support with onboarding processes
