BARBARA IN A NUTSHELL
In a nutshell: My life has never been a straight line. Even as a kid I was the adventurous type and would have my own approach.
I was born in Toronto/Canada, to Swiss parents. At the age of one we moved to Switzerland and I did all my education there.
My base is in the beautiful Swiss Alps, which is my Happy Place. As a world traveler I call many places my spiritual home. Amongst others Argentina, Bali and Mexico. For several years I have lived and worked in Toronto.
For 17 years I owned and ran a boutique marketing communications agency in Bern/Switzerland. In 2017 I decided to follow my heart and make my passions my life. I have since certified as a Yoga teacher (500 hours), Thai Yoga Massage therapist and have studied Slings Myofascial Training® and Body Reading with art of motion (contemporary movement education). Further I have trained in the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Michael A. Singer and Dr. Joe Dispenza. In 2023 I self-published my very first book: EMPOWER YOUR LIVING – Creating a Life of Ease, Abundance and Joy.
My approach to life is that there is a solution to every problem, no matter how big it is or seems to be. I am able to quickly grasp what is at hand and can instantly connect the dots and create a path for the solution to happen. This ability also helps me to unite people and ideas to create a space for inclusivity and growth on a larger scale.
I am very passionate about everything I do and graciously share my story. I don’t see myself as a guru but as a life guide and friend.
During my 3-month-sabbatical in 2021/22 – traveling all over Mexico – I have certified as an Open Water Scuba Diver. A newfound passion that has opened up a whole new universe from which I draw a lot for my daily life and work. During my second long stay in Mexico in 2022/23 I added the Advanced Open Water Diver certification. Besides scuba diving I am a passionate skier since the age of two and love hiking in my beloved Swiss mountains. I am also an avid photographer and a foodie.
Communication is the main key to everything in my life. My mother tongue is Swiss German. I also speak German, English, Spanish and French.
In a nutshell: I truly live life to the fullest.
I AM …
… abundant creativity built from a childlike curiosity and fierce will to create.
… changing the things I can and lovingly surrender to those I can’t.
I AM THE CHANGE I WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
… open, direct and clear in my communication. I AM walking my talk.
I AM unapologetically ME.
… tolerant and respectful towards my fellow human beings.
… loyal, compassionate and empathetic.
… decisive, unwavering and a born leader.
… gentle as a feather, steady as a mountain, strong as a lioness and flowing like the ocean.
… a survivor, a warrior. I AM EMPOWERING MY LIVING.
… lovingly embracing my shortcomings. I AM the creator of my HAPPINESS.
… dancing with every fibre of my BEING. I AM DIVINE HEALING ENERGY.
… living a healthy and economically conscious life.
… ready for co-creation with MY KING, to spiritually grow from a place of LOVE AND RESPECT.
… a traveler, explorer and scuba diver.
… infinite LOVE AND LIGHT
AND I WILL HELP YOU TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE!

THE TURTLE IN A NUTSHELL
The very first time I saw a turtle while diving in Mexico I instantly connected with this amazing animal. It was love at first sight.
The turtle – or tortuga as it’s called in Spanish – is one of the most important animals in the Mayan mythology. It symbolizes the alliance of water and earth. The turtle stands for longevity, perseverance, steadfastness, protection, retreat, healing, tranquility and transformation.
This may sound a bit presumptuous but I feel like the human turtle. So much of its attributes describe my path to freedom and a life in flow and abundance.
