About
I spent 16 years working in ๐ต๐ถ๐ด๐ต-๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ โ 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 ๐๐๐ P๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต, certified according to Qualitรคtsring Coaching (QRC) standards, with a 400-hour yoga teacher training and MovNat Level 2 Natural Movement Trainer certification. My sessions combine ๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ, because the body holds a lot of what the mind hasn't processed yet. I work with clients in ๐๐ป๐ด๐น๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป, online and in person, based between ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐น๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐๐.
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 ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐-๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ, ๐๐๐๐-๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐, 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. ๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐'๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ.

Methodology
My Coaching Approach
๐๐ผ๐ ๐ช๐ฒ ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ง๐ผ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ
We start each session by ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ผ๐ป. From there, you can choose to open with ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ 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 ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐.
Then we move into the ๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐, 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 ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐บ๐๐บ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐. Enough time to move past the surface and into something that sticks.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐:
We start with a ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป. 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, ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ.

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. ๐ข๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ 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. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: We open with ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ 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 ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐. 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 ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต. 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. ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ณ: - 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 ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐'๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐: 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. ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐: 2 hours, 1:1, online or in person in Berlin and Mexico City ๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐: Limited.

Testimonials
โI have had numerous therapists, coaches, etc. over the years but none where I was made to feel so comfortable and understood. In turn there have been some very real self discoveries made, because she asks the right questions to lead me down the relevant metaphorical paths. Itโs usually when Iโm sat on my own after the session where everything comes together and the discoveries have been made. Thank you, Frau Hoffman.โ
Rik
Head of Sales
โAnyone who wants to experience the feeling of letting go of blockages they didn't even know they had is in the best hands with Verena. Rock 'n' roll!โ

โCoaching with Verena was a perfectโฆ 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 coachingโ

โThat was my first time working with aโฆ 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".โ
Kalin

โBrilliant 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!โ
Damien
Ex BBC Host
โI 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.โ

โTransformative Sessions! My sessions with Verena are truly transformative! She creates a safe, non-judgmental space that I always feel comfortable opening up.

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 โ 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 โฌ700 (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 โฌ600 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.
