# 001 - Hi, I’m Stefanie
Welcome to my website, my blog. With this first blog entry I’d like to give you the opportunity to get to know me, and to invite you to see the world through my lense.

Hello, Hallo, und Hallöchen!
And welcome to my world! I'm Stefanie, professionally I call myself a Mindset Coach, and Business Trainer, a Space Holder, an Energy Healer, and am dedicated to unlocking human potential and nurturing holistic well-being.
Beyond the professional part of myself, there’s just me. Stefanie. Originally from Germany, love made me move around the globe to Sydney in 2017, and I now call the beautiful Sunshine Coast home. While my website offers a glimpse into the services and programs I provide, I would also like to share a more personal side of my journey, my passions, and the values that drive my work. This blog post is an invitation to get to know me better and understand the heart and soul behind my mission.
My Personal Journey
I have always been a Creative Spirit and Solution Finder, constantly seeking new ways to create a life worth living. My journey has been far from boring—I've faced my own struggles with burnouts, anxiety, and panic attacks. And I’ve combated it all, stubborn as I am, not willing to settle for anything less than a GRANDE LIFE.
Through it all, I've discovered that the golden thread in my personal journey is my innate, sturdy self-alliance. It took me a while to realise how my unshakable commitment to myself has guided me through times of darkness and despair, helping me understand that I am always home as long as I keep coming back to myself.
Life is always a balancing act; balance in itself doesn't exist. We need to stay connected and in tune with where we're headed and whether our actions are conducive to our goals. For me, the idea of the balancing act means ensuring we don't miss the turning point when we need to change direction to stay in alignment. Life should be regarded as a holistic, interconnected web of everything that is—Self, Health, Diet, Family, Relationships, Career, Money—all equally important. To be healthy and in our power, all these pillars need to align with our values and goals; otherwise, we start suffering and may get stuck in fight-or-flight mode. It's okay for parts to momentarily wobble, but we must always come back to our personal optimum and recognize where life is not in flow.
Life is precious and vulnerable, and I've experienced the sad loss of loved ones through disease. These experiences have cemented my belief that our health—both physical and mental—should be our biggest priority and investment. This belief drives my continuous pursuit of education and training in the realms of my passions.
I have worked with a multitude of different coaches and can't imagine where I would be without their guidance and support. Most recently, I invested in Wealth Coaching to master the flow of money. I'm fascinated by money as an energy and its significant influence over humanity. Understanding and mastering this flow has become a key aspect of my journey towards holistic well-being and empowerment.
My Career
I've worked for a number of exciting start-ups in the start-up metropole Berlin. What a time! This is where I set the foundation for all I know about business. Your girl can talk shop!
I didn't have an actual plan when I decided to call it quits in my employment career, but back then I said that 'when I close my eyes for good, at least I want to be able to say that I tried’. Not having let fear dominate my life and choices. And here I am. I can admit that I am very proud of myself for how far I've come and for never having given up despite the tough times and bruised ego along the way. I'm not yet where I want to be, but I believe I can achieve anything I set my heart on and keep showing up for it, regardless.
I'm proud to have delved into several modalities from holistic life coaching to NLP, Time Line Therapy, Hypnosis, Business Training, Reiki Energy Healing, Laughter Yoga, and then some personal interests without official qualifications. And I love combining them all together into great transformational experiences. I'm very excited for myself to see what's to come.
My Mission and Values
My highest values are wholeness and freedom, and I believe that values are guides for life. Being strongly connected with your own values makes it incredibly easy to say yes or no to opportunities that arise. My values have proven to be absolute lighthouses in times when life felt foggy without a clear path.
Beyond that, I love the idea of individual power, which, once embodied, becomes a multiplier for others. The more you move in your own innate power, the more others get to tap into theirs, too. Power is a very underrated self-healing catalyst.
Another very important energy that drives my life is the awareness of choice. The quote 'What you're not changing you're choosing' has become one of my strongest drivers. We are always choosing. Even if we are not making an aligned choice, we're unconsciously choosing not to choose at all. Change is always ever a decision away. Big transformations start with little choices to start doing things differently. Transformation is a chain reaction of new choices we make for ourselves—in self-alliance. This is where our power is rooted, in the acknowledgment that we can always, at any given moment, choose differently. And if you find yourself VERY STUCK, well, a mindset coach will be a good opportunity to un-stuck yourself.
Human Potential, Heart Connections & Energy
I am deeply fascinated by the endless potential within each of us. I believe that on average, people are operating at only about 20% of what they're truly capable of. My goal is to guide my clients to tap into that remaining 80%, connecting with their innate power and becoming their own biggest ally on their unique journey.
I love a good old DNM and believe in the transformative power of genuine heart connection.
My mission is deeply rooted in the belief that everything is energy. To me, spirituality means being connected—to ourselves, to each other, and to the universe. Mind, Body, Soul, Spirit—there is something about the human DNA that is divinely powerful. We have self-healing abilities that are beyond our comprehension. I think the question is not 'if' we have it, but ‘how’ we can access it. AND exploring the depth of the mind is one pathway. I firmly believe that just because science hasn't proven something yet, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This open-minded and curious approach guides my work, allowing me to explore multiple paths and solutions. I value self-responsibility and personal power, which I consider essential ingredients for living a fulfilling life.
The connection between our organs and their energetic capacity in the realms of emotions, and the physical expression of dis-ease is one of the biggest mysteries. Working with the heart, the lungs, the throat, and even with our digestive system—it's so much more than just the physicality of human existence. Whenever I experience pain, I have a conversation with that part and ask it for the message. In my world of knowledge, feelings are lessons and guides, and if we connect with ourselves intentionally, we truly find the answers to our questions within.
My Personal Life
Beyond all of that, I could probably write a book (maybe later). I am a Multifaceted Human with a wide range of interests. I love dancing, pole dancing, pilates, singing (I sing in a choir and I've been taking singing classes on and off for over eight years), and spending time in nature. Nature is my healer, movement is my therapy, and food is my medicine - a bit of everything, every day. I'm a self-proclaimed recreational pastry chef who believes that life is too short to skip dessert! I love being creative in all the ways—and I believe we are all creative, by default, in the most delicious, different ways.
I love the smell of coffee but don't drink it (my nervous system is sadly not a fan) and live a sober life, with the rare glass of red. I favour early nights and early mornings. There's nothing quite like watching the sunrise at the beach with a cup of cacao. Tea is my daily elixir, enjoyed year-round. Music always takes precedence over TV, and as an extroverted introvert, I cherish my alone time, as much as some good, heart-filling time spent with amazing people.
Recently, I've become addicted to Fae fantasy books (IYKYK), diving into magical, luxurious worlds that spark my imagination. Also I’ve realised whilst devouring 5 books in no time how important it is to once in a while get lost in a colourful fantasy world. I highly recommend.
Thanks for being here
There's always more to tell, but I believe you get a good idea, and I'm sure we have at least two and a half things in common to talk about.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better, out of personal interest or because you might be considering working with me professionally. Regardless of your intentions, I hope my story resonates with you and inspires you to explore your own potential and step further into self-alliance.
I’d love to connect! Quick, shoot me an email and say Hi :)
