My work integrates:

• Somatic practice (Master Somatic Coach™)
• Systemic team coaching approaches
• Conversational intelligence & communication depth
• Conflict fluency (mediator since 1995)
• Collaborative process design
• Cross-cultural communication and negotiation (licensed attorney since 1991)

This multidisciplinary approach helps leaders and teams transform how they think, relate, and create results — not just what they do. It cultivates clarity, coherence, resilience, and regenerative ways of working.

Leaders describe me as a grounding, incisive ally who brings clarity and depth where it is most needed — in moments of turbulence, transition, opportunity, or possibility.

Together, we co-create conditions for:

• wiser decision-making
• healthier communication and trust
• aligned, collaborative action
• creative resilience under pressure
• meaningful and sustainable results
• cultures capable of regenerative growth

Whether working 1:1 or with a leadership team, the focus is on conscious evolution — empowering leaders to lead from presence, purpose, and a new way of being.

My path integrates legal training, international experience, conflict resolution, somatic depth, and systemic thinking.
