If you are waiting….
If you are waiting here for a dramatic story about my past that changed my life significantly, then I do not have a story. No accident, nor near death experience. I just had a life like most of you… full of small or bigger daily life dramas, disappointments, frustrations, struggles, grief, hope and luck.
As a certified Graphic designer, Artist and Art Therapist my long and winding road of life guided me over several years through different industries, i.e. Fashion Design and Advertising, Multimedia, Computer and Teaching)
In 2002 I did my certificate as a Personality Trainer (Life Coach) and as an Alternative Healer as well. Years before I have started already with Family and Systemic-Constellation-Therapy and certified finally as a Systemic Constellation Facilitator.
I was a searcher my entire life, always made a turn once I reached the point of “I am done doing that any longer.” Thereafter, I completed another course or changed jobs into a completely new field. I was successful and full of energy until I felt there was no more challenge for me and I became bored. I was obsessed and driven by the thought that there must be “the” right assignment for me, whilst simultaneously searching for my ‘calling in life’. I was hoping that whatever I was searching for, I could discover from external sources. But my focus was never on that what was inside of me and where the secret to transformation and living my dream vocation was already lodged.
Years later I opted to relocate to the United Arab Emirates and was again struggling with a new changing process. But this time I suddenly discovered the hidden treasure inside of me and at this time, it was revealed as a surprise, which I engulfed with open arms.
Something inside was guiding and reminding me of my skills and the joy I always found in painting during my art study times. The result was mind blowing! I realized the healing effect of working with paint and colors on my own inner wellbeing. It was very encouraging and it was the first time in my life that I wasn’t painting to perform. I was just painting for myself, for my own healing.
At that moment I realized that I had sabotaged myself throughout those years with not using the skills that I had already created internally. Mistaken beliefs and a lot of resistance lodged in my body-system stopped me to live my true potential.
I am now very conscious that my personal growth as a Human Being is the base of my work as an Artist and as an Art Therapist. That is a never-ending learning process. The combination of my education and experience as a Coach and Artist plus all I have learned, completed and experienced over the years led to the concept of HEARTworks.
My own process of overcoming my blockages have finally enabled me to understand the issues and needs of people on a profound level, who come to me asking for advice.
With a combination of art and coaching I found a fast, easy and playful way to show people their personal way to LET GO resistance, that stopped them to live that successful and happy life they were born to enjoy and what their true inner self is longing for so desperately.
