From an early age, I carried a deep longing for connection—a yearning for the nourishment and soul-deep bond that only sisterhood could provide. Yet, my experiences as a girl were marked by exclusion and heartbreak at the hands of other girls. Their judgments and rejections left wounds that ran deep, making me feel unsafe and isolated. Seeking refuge, I turned to friendships with boys, where I found a semblance of safety. But over time, I realized that these connections, too, were limited. My desire for closeness was often misunderstood, mistaken for romantic interest, and left me longing for something more profound.
This longing became a quiet fire within me—a knowing that true connection, free from judgment and competition, was possible. It set me on a path to explore the depths of sisterhood, to understand the wounds we carry as women, and to find the tools to heal them.
My journey took me to India in 2011, where I volunteered with an NGO creating safe spaces for girls in rural communities—an experience that opened my eyes to the transformative power of women supporting women in patriarchal societies. I witnessed how these girls' clubs became sanctuaries, fostering strength and resilience in a world that often sought to diminish them.
I learned the most profound:
When we, as women, heal and uplift each other, we create ripples that extend into our families, communities, and the world.
This understanding deepened during my time living in the Himalayas between 2013 and 2015, where I immersed myself in meditation, Buddhist teachings, and indigenous healing practices. I learned to weave ancient wisdom with modern insights, discovering the profound interconnectedness of all things.
In 2014, while navigating life between India and Berlin, I brought the sacred practice of sister circles to Berlin, establishing some of the first moon circles in the city. These gatherings became a space for women to reconnect—with themselves and with one another. Here, we could unlearn judgment, release old patterns of competition, and rebuild trust.
The power of sisterhood became even clearer when I became a mother in 2016. Motherhood revealed the deep need for a village—a circle of women who uplift, replenish, and support one another. Yet, I saw the shadows of the Sister Wound all around me: women navigating solo parenting, denying themselves or others support, and struggling to thrive in isolation. These experiences reignited my commitment to creating spaces where women could heal these wounds, rediscover their inherent power, and nourish one another.
Today, my work is rooted in all these threads of my journey. Through one-on-one coaching, sister circles, and retreats, I guide women to heal the Sister Wound and reclaim their connection to themselves and each other. My approach blends the wisdom of ancient practices with modern psychology, creating a safe, transformative space for growth and connection.
I believe that healing the Sister Wound is not just about personal transformation—it’s about collective liberation.
I invite you to step into this sacred journey of healing, connection, and empowerment. Together, we can rewrite the story of what it means to be a woman in this world—one rooted in trust, compassion, and the limitless power of sisterhood.
SISTERHOOD IS NO LONGER A WOUND, BUT A REVOLUTION.
