It's actually about so much more.
You have come to the right person if you would like to explore and understand your sexuality to be able to accept yourself fully and thus clear up any self-doubt.
Or you are a caregiver supporting your child through this journey, and you wish to navigate it with the proper knowledge and confidence, mastering everyday life with grace and phenomenal coping skills.
Either way, you are very welcome in this safe and non-judgmental space.
Since I was a teenager, I have been fascinated with sex.
Well, that seems to be the case for a lot of us, right?
But it was not so much and only about the activity itself, but about everything related to it.
What and who we like and what and who we don't like ... but above all, why is that?
What does it mean to be a woman or a man?
At one point, that led to this quote from a friend back in my youth.
“Whenever we are together, sex comes up.”
At that time, I would never have dreamed that this passion and curiosity would eventually shape my vocation. Now it is my job to talk, learn and teach about sexuality.
In 2010, I started educating about sexuality out of necessity. I was working at a community center in Guatemala. There was an immense lack of basic education about the body and sexuality. So, I started doing sex education with the children and later on with parents.
It wasn't until 2013 that I decided to get a master's degree in sexology. Since I was doing sex education primarily in Spanish, it made sense to do the masters in Spanish as well. At the University Camilo José Cela in Madrid, Spain, I graduated in 2015 with my Master's thesis on “Educating in and for Diversity – Sexual Identity and Gender”.
I had already worked as a sex educator for over 10 years before I discovered hypnosis.
Whether working with teenagers or adults, teachers or parents, the same underlying question kept coming up:
Is this normal?
And even though with knowledge and education, we experienced countless “aha” moments and were able to bust many myths, there often seemed to remain this hint of self-doubt, insecurity, shame, or guilt.
These are such deep-seated feelings that can't easily be erased with pure knowledge and rational thought.
Hypnosis, however, is an outstanding tool for doing just that.
I've always been interested in personal growth and the human brain in particular. In my spare time, I studied a lot and worked on myself constantly.
Due to the pandemic in 2020, my classes and workshops were canceled. So, I had a lot more time available, which I used to take courses and get more educated. In the process, I came across Marisa Peer and her Rapid Transformational Therapy. RTT combines the most effective components of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and neurolinguistic programming (NLP).
In a moment of spontaneity (for me rather unusual for things like that) I enrolled in her program. First, only online. Later, I completed the in-person training in Miami, Florida, United States.
Diversity is a principle of nature.
You can only change what YOU think and believe about yourself.
When you change, everything around you changes too.

In 2007, after graduating from university, I left Germany. I now live in Antigua, a small town in Guatemala. People assume I am a passionate traveler. But I'm not. I went on one big trip in my life and have stayed there ever since. ;-)
I enjoy being home. Occasionally, I make myself go out into the world (like in the picture above) because it's a great way to reset or connect with people and nature.
For me, movie watching is a very intense and stressful activity, and it has more to do with looking away, sweating, and unpleasant tension.
I can enjoy some movies if I already know them. However, I prefer not to watch movies, or only those that are neither emotionally nor intellectually challenging.
So, movie night is not my idea of a good time.
I wish I could always approach life with the same calm focus I use to solve puzzles.
During puzzles, I'm in the zone, patient, and relaxed. I never give up, and I am never in doubt about completing it.
And when I am done, I immediately disassemble the puzzle and put it away.
It is all about the process, rather than the final result, right?
