my story

I grew up on a small farm in a little german village. Feeling blessed to be born in the early 90s - part of the last generation to experience childhood without the insanity of the World Wide Web. I was an active child with a vivid and creative mind. Almost all my friends were boys, we mostly played out in nature, away from screens, in the here & now. I developed a deep connection and love for animals, especially cats - my soulmates. Our parents raised me and my brother comparatively free, far from perfect but with the best of their capacity and level of awareness. My family planted over 40,000 trees over the past century, transforming farmland into three flourishing forests. I’m grateful to have grown up with that legacy, and it inspires me to leave the world greener than I found it. 13 years of regular school was one huge struggle and impacted my health and development a lot negatively. Although I was always cool with most kids and teachers, I never felt as though I truly belong. In my teens I started spreading my wings. My self determined, adventurous and free spirit made me explore cities and other countries, often on my own. My heart told me there was more to life, I longed for change, growth and more meaningful connections to people with broader horizons than conservative villagers. My kindness and respect to humans, animals and nature always gave me a sense of safety and protection from a higher, guiding power. With appreciation of my german passport, the golden ticket to the world, I spent most of my 20s in foreign countries, working, traveling, studying and soul searching. At age 21 I fell in love with Bali and Lombok, two neighbouring tropical volcano islands with the sweetest humans, dreamy landscapes and fertile soil. I returned about once every year since. At age 22 I met my soulmate "Cat"(can't be a coincidence haha). Our love is connected through an intuitive knowing of a shared purpose, a clear vision for a better world, an urge to seek freedom, a sense of scepticism about what’s "normal" and enthusiasm to learn, explore, create, serve and evolve alongside one another.

my mission

During the past 9 months of pregnancy I've put together this website and my first cookbook - to inspire others to nourish, ground and connect through real food. Right now, I’m embracing the transition from maiden to mother, and I feel grateful and excited to walk this new chapter with intention, presence, and an open heart. My journey to heal and transform into the highest expression of myself continues. Finding balance between my active masculine and my nurturing feminine energies: Stepping out of my comfort zone, doing the things that scare me while also offering myself more and more soothing actions of self care - both to expand physically, mentally and spiritually.

my vision

My vision is to create spaces which allow experiencing life in the power of UNITY with nature, ourselves and others. Spaces to heal and to maintain health. With ideal conditions for peaceful warriors of all ages on a wholesome journey through life. Spaces to expand physically, mentally and spiritually. Spaces to have fun. Right now it seems as though we are going to start in Indonesia and we are also talking about the Mediterranean region, possibly Italy.
