I’ve walked the wild path of reinvention - and I’m here to help you do it, too.

my approach

Today, I guide visionary humans to transform their lives and businesses in a way that feels grounded, authentic, and elevated - never forced.

With one foot in ancient wisdom and one in modern living, I help you simplify, realign, and rise. Whether through skincare, rituals, business guidance or lifestyle design, my work is about starting strong and living healthy and beautifully - on your terms.

My CORE PHILOSOPHY:

  • Do it once. Do it right.

  • Luxury meets minimalism.

  • Lead with integrity. Live with intention.

I’m not here to preach from a mountaintop.
I’m here because I’ve lived it - the highs, the lows, the cycles of burnout and rebirth, the bold pivots and quiet realignments.

I've rebuilt from scratch, more than once. Each time, I chose clarity over chaos, depth over distraction, and alignment over approval (*damn it’s tough*) And I learned this: you don’t have to sacrifice your peace to live your purpose And a rich life.

If you're standing at the edge of your next chapter - uncertain, excited, or simply ready for more - I see you. I've been there. And I’d be honoured to walk beside you as you begin again, this time with clarity, courage, and ease.

It all began during my residence in South Africa, where I found myself captivated by its magic. My heart became entwined with its natural glory, and leaving became almost impossible.

fun facts

about me

I am

a connector, a bridge-builder.

a story-teller,  investigator and adventurer.

in love with this experience called human life.

an eternal ocean lover.

a goodess with the mind of a conquerer.

I spread my wings at 19 years old and fell in love with the beauty this world has to offer- exotic countries, foreign cultures, and the diverse belief systems and worldviews.

Born and raised in Germany

It was no surprise

that I started my first company abroad and fell head over heels for entrepreneurship.

Since then,

I’ve built several businesses from the ground up. Each time, I started from zero- or sometimes even less- as I first had to learn the native languages.

The Story Behind the Brand

It all started with a simple yet powerful belief: what we put on our skin matters - and so does how we live, work, and show up in the world.

Back in the day, I founded Green Planet Cosmetics as a small, heart-driven skincare brand. I was handcrafting clean, conscious products for people who wanted to live in tune with nature - not just look good, but feel aligned. It was my business baby, born from a deep love of wellness, sustainability, and the idea that we could do better - for our bodies, our homes, and our planet.

But like many journeys worth telling, mine didn’t stop there.

As I grew, so did my mission. Clients who came for healthy skincare started asking about healthy homes. Those who loved their wellness rituals began asking for guidance on launching their own conscious brands. And before I knew it, I wasn’t just sharing formulas - I was helping people transform their lives and businesses from the inside out.

And so, GPC evolved.

What started as Green Planet Cosmetics became something bigger - a space for conscious living and business. A hub for digital wellness tools, lifestyle transformation, soulful entrepreneurship, and aligned consulting. A place where purpose-driven people come to grow - not just their skin glow, but their mindset, their business, and their entire way of being.

Today, GPC stands for more than just a name.
It stands for a movement - toward intentional living, meaningful work, and a future we actually want to be part of.

Whether you’re here to upgrade your lifestyle, launch a soulful brand, or reimagine how you work, you’re in the right place.

Welcome to the evolution.
Welcome to GPC – Conscious Living & Business.
This is only the beginning.
