About me – Vita

I am a passionate entrepreneur — a gallery owner, banker, coach, networker, mentor, and certified systemic constellation practitioner for families and organizations.

Drawing on business acumen, psychological insight, and strategic vision — with a deeply human approach — I guide individuals through personal and professional transformation in leadership, entrepreneurship, and beyond.

Privately, I’m happily in a relationship with my partner, mother of three wonderful grown-up children, and proud grandmother of three grandchildren.

I love psychology and art, enjoy reading, going to the cinema or theatre, walking in nature, dancing – and above all: spending time with my family.

What drives me are connections.
The connection between people.
The connection to art.
And – maybe most importantly – the connection each person builds with themselves.

When connections truly work, something beautiful happens.
That’s what touches me and inspires my work every day.

Beyond my extensive training in Germany and abroad, it’s my openness and warmth that allow people to feel safe and open up.

I have a strong sense for people – and it has become my heart’s mission to help them reconnect with themselves, explore their roots, and recognize the growth opportunities in front of them – and actually take them.

I take the responsibility that comes with this work very seriously.
I sense, respect, and protect the boundaries that create a safe space for transformation.

For over 30 years, I’ve worked as a gallery owner – closely connected to art and its emotional power. Over time, I’ve experienced how art can deeply move and transform us. This insight now shapes the way I work with people.

In group settings, I integrate art therapy methods into my coaching. Through mindful observation of art, we come into deeper contact with ourselves. This process reveals what themes are currently important in your life – and what challenges may be calling for your attention. That’s where we begin.

Using creativity and Action Learning techniques (based on Reg Revans and The Recess College, London), we identify personal blockages and develop individual solutions – all the way to a clear, actionable plan.

Art therapy works with inner images. And just like in systemic constellations, these images often become visible in powerful ways. Suddenly, the system becomes clear. The fog lifts. There’s understanding. We look back with compassion. Blockages begin to dissolve – and new possibilities emerge.

In individual sessions, I support people going through difficult life phases, guide leaders who want to evolve their leadership style, and help clients find clarity at personal or professional crossroads.

Sometimes, we just need someone to hold space. To reflect, realign – and reconnect with our own inner resources.

Does this resonate with you? Are you wondering if we’re the right fit? Let’s find out – in a first free and non-binding conversation. 

All my programs are offered in German and English.
