Individual support for you

“What lies before us and what lies behind us is nothing compared to what lies within us”
(Henry David Thoreau)

Sometimes, it’s the stories we tell ourselves that keep us stuck. Sometimes, it’s external expectations that cloud our view. And sometimes, all it takes is a new perspective to unlock what’s already inside you.

Coaching with me is not about fixing you—because you are not broken. It’s about discovering your own clarity, stepping into your confidence, and unfolding your life in a way that truly fits you. We create a space where you can explore, reflect, and grow—without pressure, but with real, lasting transformation.

What You Can Expect

  • Deep clarity – Recognize what really matters to you and what holds you back.
  • Inner strength – Build trust in yourself and your decisions.
  • New perspectives – See possibilities where there were once only limitations.
  • Lightness & joy – Because change doesn’t have to feel heavy.
  • Sustainable transformation – Small shifts that create big impact over time.

My approach is intuitive, science-based, deep, and yet lighthearted. You will not get pre-made answers, but you will uncover your own, the ones that truly resonate with you. We work together in a way that honors your individuality and your natural pace of change.

Client | 68 years (2024)

I would love to know everything in the world and have a solution ready for every eventuality. Of course, this state is unattainable, often leaving me staring at vast, looming abysses. Constantly under this self-imposed pressure to optimize and organize my life, I am currently participating in numerous webinars and virtual group coaching sessions on a wide range of topics.

I met Gisela in one of these coaching sessions, and although anyone observing us might not think that this experienced, calm, and thoroughly positive woman and I—a fidgety, constantly driven person—would fit together, I immediately felt a connection. Perhaps it was the spark of creativity from her silver demonstration, or perhaps it was exactly this contrast that I needed at that moment. A one-on-one coaching session was quickly scheduled, and I always felt that Gisela was genuinely looking forward to working with me, unlike other coaches who, unfortunately, often seem more concerned with other things. True to form, everything went wrong for me in the minutes leading up to our appointment, and I started off feeling agitated. I don’t want to spoil anything, but Gisela’s MAGIC made me lose all tension in the blink of an eye. Under her guidance, I discovered the emotional parts of myself and how they can interact with one another rather than block each other out.

After this first appointment, I felt “out of my mind,” yet completely inspired, and the CHANGE became clear the very next day—fittingly, my birthday. I could hardly believe I spent it without a plan, without a well-organized schedule, and with a lot of creativity. Inspired by Gisela, I also began working with silver and created my very own personal talisman that day.

If you, dear seeker, are now wondering whether you have reached the end of your search or have found a good companion for this journey, I have a little test for you: Did you notice the three capitalized words? If not, then a coaching session with Gisela is an excellent way to sharpen both your inner and outer perception and to have the wonderful experience that I had. If you did, then you’re likely already curious and eager to experience the “FUNCTIONAL CHANGE” for yourself.

Imagine there is someone who can get your emotions out of you together with you and then, like beloved but cranky relatives, sits them down at a table so that they can find a solution for you together? Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? But Gisela does just that!!! It was an incredible journey, but in the end that’s exactly what happened: my grief, my anger and my helplessness came together to find a solution with me, because I understood one thing thanks to Gisela: ALL my feelings only want the BEST for ME!

[…]

If I had to describe Gisela, I would say:

Gisela …

  • is loving but firm
  • creates a pleasant and safe atmosphere
  • gets the emotions out of you and lets them talk to each other in order to find the best possible solution for me
  • doesn’t let up because she knows it’s good for me

If I had to describe how I felt during emotion coaching, I would say:

With Gisela…

  • I felt held
  • I felt loved
  • I felt a deep sense of gratitude at the end
  • I felt safe to turn my inner self outwards

I had two fantastic sessions with Gisela and can wholeheartedly recommend her.

During our first conversation, I expressed my concern about often feeling overwhelmed. We had a very intense session that moved me deeply. A few weeks later, we had a second appointment for a follow-up discussion. We explored in-depth once again. It felt almost as if she had lovingly taken me by the hand and said, “Let’s go there now and sort this out.”

The second session had a playful quality to it. Since then, I feel much lighter. I’ve become more relaxed, and instead of overwhelming myself, I simply focus on progress in any form.

In recent years, I have successfully worked with various coaches, but I can honestly say that my sessions with Gisela were something truly special and helped me immensely in a very short time. Dear Gisela, thank you so much for this experience and for the changes you have inspired in me!
