Courses and lectures

Sometimes all it takes is a moment, an impulse, a change of perspective to get back in touch with the essentials.

In my courses, workshops and talks, I open up spaces in which you can experience yourself anew. Spaces in which we work mindfully, authentically and with an open heart. I support you not only in overcoming challenges such as pressure to perform, stress or inner blockages, but also in using them as a guide.

I have been working as a specialist lecturer, ski instructor, hiking guide and coach for over twenty years and have been accompanying people in one-day courses, business workshops, training courses and presentations for many years. Always individually. Always with depth. Always with you at the center.

FAQs on courses & lectures

  • Who are the courses and lectures suitable for?

    My courses, seminars and talks are aimed at people who want to understand themselves better and shape their lives with more clarity, presence and inner strength. Whether you are an individual struggling with pressure to perform, stress or an inner upheaval, whether you want to develop as a coach, ski instructor, therapist or manager, or whether you are looking for new paths in your company or team: I offer you a space in which you feel seen and understood. I am often booked by people from the education, health and outdoor sports sectors as well as by companies who want to support their employees in areas such as motivation, mindfulness, resilience or mental strength.

  • Where do the courses take place?

    I work wherever the setting is right - in nature, in Emmetten, at your place or in a seminar room of your choice. Outdoor courses are particularly powerful, e.g. in the form of mindfulness in nature, rituals for the winter solstice or hiking coaching sessions. I work outdoors and indoors, online and offline - the main thing is that the energy is right.

    I also travel to companies or educational institutions for business seminars or specialist lectures - throughout Switzerland or internationally.

  • How individual are the contents?

    The content is never prefabricated, but is sensitively tailored to the needs and concerns of the participants. I bring sound theory, many years of experience and clearly structured content - but I don't follow a rigid program. I leave room for what wants to emerge. In coaching, process work and business workshops in particular, it is important to intuitively respond to what wants to be set in motion in the group or in you personally. This is my strength - and this is exactly why I am valued and booked.

  • How long do the courses last?

    I mainly offer one-day courses and impulse formats. A typical course lasts between 5 and 10 hours - depending on the topic, setting and number of participants. Retreats or course series lasting several days are also possible if you want to go deeper. For business seminars or training courses, I often work in coordinated modules. Short talks last between 30 and 90 minutes - and can be booked individually or as part of a training series.

  • How much does a course or lecture cost?

    Prices depend on duration, format, group size and location. An individual course starts at CHF 790, for workshops lasting several hours or one-day formats the price varies. For new offers designed especially for you, I will make an individual proposal after initial contact, taking into account your wishes, goals and general conditions. As soon as we agree on a format, I will issue an invoice for a 50% deposit for new course concepts - after which I will start working out the details. Transparency, trust and clarity are important to me.

  • What qualifications do you have?

    I have been working for over 20 years as a specialist lecturer, coach, speaker, hiking guide and ski instructor - in very different contexts. I am a federally certified snow sports instructor, professional hiking guide with FA, both with international recognition (ISIA and UIMAL). I have taught as a lecturer at universities of applied sciences, coaching schools, in further training courses for therapists and in adult education (SVEB) - up to Master's level. I have also completed in-depth further training in mental training, stress management, mindfulness, shamanic process work, potential development and energetic work. This broad experience flows into every one of my events.

  • Which topics are particularly in demand?

    I am booked particularly frequently for the following topics:

    • Mindfulness in everyday life, during sport or in nature - often as part of business seminars or specialist training courses.
    • Motivation and mental strength - for individuals, teams or institutions.
    • Stress and pressure to perform - including tools for stress management, resilience and self-management.
    • Decision-making and life direction - ideal for people in phases of upheaval.
    • Shadow work, hero's journeys and spiritual nature themes - for retreats, course series or seasonal rituals

    All of this content can be offered as a course, workshop, business lecture or seminar and tailored to the respective target group.

  • Can courses and lectures be booked for companies?

    Yes, with great pleasure. I regularly work with companies, organizations and training institutions, both in an outdoor and business context. Whether you are looking for a business course on stress management, a keynote speech on motivation or a multi-day seminar on mindfulness in everyday working life: I design the content in such a way that it really reaches your employees, customers or teams - clear in terms of content, emotionally touching and practical. I am also often involved in management coaching or team development days.

  • Are there any prerequisites for participation?

    No - no previous knowledge is necessary. I always adapt my content to the respective level, needs and group dynamics. Whether you are completely new to topics such as mindfulness, shadow work or coaching, or whether you are an experienced professional who wants to deepen your knowledge - I will meet you where you are. This applies to individual sessions as well as seminars and lectures in the business or training sector.

  • How does the booking process work?

    You contact me with your request by email or phone. I will listen carefully to what you need and then make you a tailor-made offer. For new formats, a deposit of 50% is required before I work out the individual program for you or your group. I will keep you informed every step of the way and coordinate closely with you, because your needs are the focus. I am also happy to consider requests at short notice, provided the time and energy is right for you.
