About

I spent 16 years working in 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 — events, hospitality, cruise ships, and People & Culture management. Fast environments, high stakes, constantly performing. I got good at pushing through. What I didn't get good at, for a long time, was actually recovering. That gap is what drives my coaching work now.

I'm an 𝗜𝗖𝗙 𝗔𝗖𝗖 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, certified according to Qualitätsring Coaching (QRC) standards, with a 400-hour yoga teacher training and MovNat Level 2 Natural Movement Trainer certification. My sessions combine 𝗜𝗖𝗙 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, because the body holds a lot of what the mind hasn't processed yet. I work with clients in 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, online and in person, based between 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗰𝗼 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆.

My clients are capable and driven, and often depleted. They've tried the usual fixes. What they often haven't tried is slowing down long enough to figure out what they actually need. That's where we start. Sessions are 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝗱, 𝗔𝗗𝗛𝗗-𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆, and always grounded in what's real for that person, not a generic programme.

Clients trust me because I've been in demanding environments myself. I'm not coaching from a theory. I know what it takes to keep performing when everything around you is moving fast, and I know what it costs when you don't build real resilience underneath it. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

Methodology

My Coaching Approach

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿

We start each session by 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗻. From there, you can choose to open with 𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 before we go into the coaching work. It's optional, but clients who take it consistently report being more focused and present for what follows. It's particularly helpful if you're 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗗𝗛𝗗.

Then we move into the 𝗜𝗖𝗙 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, with you setting the direction and pace. Nothing is prescribed. Structured enough to move forward, flexible enough to meet what's actually present for you.

The 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Enough time to move past the surface and into something that sticks.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:

We start with a 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. It captures where you are now, what you're working with, and what you want to change. At the end of the engagement, you fill it in again. That second version shows you, concretely, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱.

Online life coaching sessions available in English and German. 𝗜𝗻-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗰𝗼 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Who I Help

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵

I work with 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. Women and men who are good at what they do, and have been pushing hard for a long time.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵:

• 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 that has become your normal, not the exception

• 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆, or trying to avoid getting there in the first place

• A 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and not knowing what comes next

• Feeling capable on the outside while 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲

• 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 that keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list

• Turning self-care into a performance instead of actual restoration

𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂:

• Are looking for a 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱

• Want more than 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴

• Are ready to slow down long enough to figure out what you actually need

• Work in a 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 and don't want to explain the context from scratch

• Are 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗗𝗛𝗗 and need an approach that works with how your brain operates

• Want a process with structure, but one that follows your pace

What I offer

Services

Starter Kit - One month to reset your system and regain clarity.

We start with one month of coaching. Enough time to step back, see patterns clearly, and begin real change. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀: • 4 × 60-min 1:1 coaching sessions (online) • WhatsApp support between sessions • Individual online toolbox with practices, notes, and resources tailored to you • Space to unpack what’s really going on We start with one month of coaching. Enough time to step back, see patterns clearly, and begin real change. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀: • 4 × 60-min 1:1 coaching sessions (online) • WhatsApp support between sessions • Individual online toolbox with practices, notes, and resources tailored to you • Space to unpack what’s really going on 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁𝘀 → 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 → 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺 → 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 First month €700 (net) By the end of the month, you’ll have more clarity, steadiness, and a clear sense of whether and how you want to continue.

Follow Up - Continue your Coaching Journey

Includes same services as the Starter Kit. The continuation is too dive deeper or for a longterm change process. After the first month, coaching continues on a monthly basis. Monthly continuation: €600 You can also choose a 3- or 6-month rhythm, if continuity and fewer decisions support you. We decide this together, based on what actually helps.

60 min600€ / month

OM My Ass - A 2 hour session for when you're done being calm about it.

You don't need another breathing exercise. You don't need to reframe it yet. You need somewhere to put it down first. This is that place. 𝗢𝗠 𝗠𝘆 𝗔𝘀𝘀 is a single 2-hour 1:1 coaching session designed for one thing: giving you a real container to release what's been building, move it through your body, say the thing you actually want to say, and from there, find out what you actually think. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: We open with 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 to shift your physical state. Not yoga. Not gentle. Honest physical release that gets you out of your head and into your body. Then we 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁. Properly. No sanitizing, no reframing too soon. Swearing is not just allowed, it's part of the process. Affect labeling, putting the real, strong word on what you actually feel, is how your nervous system starts to regulate. Science backs it. Then, when there's space, we 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵. Because once the noise clears, clarity tends to show up on its own. We look at what's underneath and figure out what, if anything, you want to do next. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗳: - Something happened and you haven't been able to say what you actually think about it - You're too angry, overwhelmed, or exhausted for "proper" coaching right now - You've been holding it together for everyone else and you're done - You need to be heard before you can move forward 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁: Not therapy. Not crisis support. Not a space to be talked out of how you feel. Not for people who want gentle and spiritual. This is a boundaried coaching container. If you're in acute crisis, please reach out to a mental health professional. 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁: 2 hours, 1:1, online or in person in Berlin and Mexico City 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Limited. This session takes full presence on both sides.

What clients say

Testimonials

“Coaching with Verena was a perfect… Coaching with Verena was a perfect eye-opener I needed. She nudged me in a right direction, by staying fully present and asking my very good (although oftenties uncomfortable!) questions. Pretty much after every session I had A-HA moment. What's best, I feel positive effect even today, months after we finished coaching”

Magda

Web Developer, Remote Worker

“That was my first time working with a… That was my first time working with a life coach ever and it was an interesting and fruitful experience. I really liked how Verena helped me to find the answers to my questions not by giving them to me or by using some guru mambojambo, but rather by presenting me with the option to search and think in different ways and different "places".”

Kalin

Teacher

“Brilliant sessions that can be life-changing! Sessions with Twist Brain and Body are just brilliant! Verena has an amazing ability to listen attentively and adapt methods to individual needs. She has a lovely manner with clients which makes her an absolute joy to work with. And her suggestions and ideas are truly revelatory and have been invaluable to me. Thank you Verena! I am looking forward to us working together again very soon I hope!”

Damien

Ex BBC Host

“I find this coaching with Verena as a discovery of what I (really!) feel and think I find this coaching with Verena as a fun and easy guided tour into myself. With key questions, good listening and a great capacity of synthesis, Verena helped me to discover that life shouldn't be a mad rollercoaster trip but an enjoyable stroll..you can stop in between, take a breath, say no and start again differently. Love the sessions and the relaxed feeling after them.”

Angelica

“Transformative Sessions! My sessions with Verena are truly transformative! She creates a safe, non-judgmental space that I always feel comfortable opening up. I leave every session with more clarity, practical tools and meaningful next steps. Thank you for everything you are helping me with, and I don’t think I could have made this progress without you!”

Sajini

Health Professional

“100% recommendation! It was great working with Verena. She is very attentive, listens deeply, asks the right questions, and always meets you where you are. Her coaching is motivating, insightful and genuinely transformative — I left each session feeling clearer and more empowered to make real changes. An excellent coaching experience!”

Questions

Frequently Asked

The first session starts with a short intake questionnaire so we're not starting cold. From there, we agree on what you want to work on, and if you'd like, we open with a movement sequence before going into the coaching work. The first session is about understanding where you are, what you're carrying, and what direction makes sense. You don't need to prepare anything specific. Showing up is enough.

We start with a one month minimum, which includes four sessions. That's not arbitrary. One session can create clarity. Four sessions create change. By the end of the first month you'll have more clarity, steadiness, and a clear sense of whether and how you want to continue. After that, we decide together based on what actually helps.

I ask for at least 24 hours notice to reschedule or cancel a session. Life happens, and I'm flexible when something comes up. What doesn't work is last-minute no-shows, because that time was held for you and can't be reallocated. We agree on the specifics at the start of our work together.

No. Most clients come with no prior life coaching or embodied coaching experience. The movement element is optional and needs no fitness background — it's not a workout. It's a practical tool that helps your nervous system settle so the mental work lands better. Especially useful if you're dealing with stress, burnout recovery, or are neurodivergent or have ADHD. We work online, with in-person options in Berlin and Mexico City. We start exactly where you are.

The first month is €700 (net) and includes four 60-minute 1:1 online coaching sessions, WhatsApp support between sessions, and a personal online toolbox with practices and resources tailored to you. After the first month, continuation is €600 per month. You can also choose a 3- or 6-month rhythm if continuity works better for you. If your employer covers professional development, this work may qualify. There's a one-page pitch you can download from my website to make that conversation easier.
