Hi, as a certified Sound Practitioner and Life Coach, I work on two levels: MIND (with the INNER Shifting method) and BODY (through Minimalistic Sound).
I care deeply about mental health — not just because it’s part of my own journey, but because so many of us struggle with it.
I just wish we could treat ourselves with more kindness and love, and be more open about how we’re really feeling.
That’s why I share the tools that have helped me the most — in the hope that they might support others too. <3

For nearly 10 years, I have worked in the agency industry as a spatial designer and creative consultant, and I have sadly witnessed many people around me suffer from burnout. As a protective measure, I began to immerse myself in mindfulness and meditation, pursuing further training. As a systemic coach (certified by DCV) with a focus on mindfulness, my goal is to provide as many people as possible with the tools to enhance their stress resilience and effectively face daily challenges.

Today's world is fast-paced and complex. Constant changes challenge our mental health. To cope with this, it's important to realign our inner compass and mindset. Mindfulness, self-reflection, and body awareness help build inner strength and manage stress more effectively. I support people in finding their own path and share my experiences from my ongoing journey of learning.

For women and people who menstruate, mental health is closely linked to the menstrual cycle.
As a business psychologist and yoga instructor specializing in women's health,
I connect the physical aspects of the cycle with its mental and emotional dimensions.
In my class, we tune into the individual phases and qualities of the cycle and the experience of being a woman.

Hi, I’m Nicole Schneider.
I support creative leaders and visionaries in finding clarity, balance, and presence. My approach combines coaching with body-based methods like somatic work, sound baths, and breathwork to release tension and activate inner strength.
My goal: To help you shift from overthinking to embodied presence – for more energy, focus, and creative flow.

As a certified gut and detox consultant, fasting guide, and holistic health & life coach, I support people in restoring their physical and mental balance. Based on my own experience with stress-related symptoms, I know how powerful a holistic approach can be. In my detox workshops and fasting retreats, I combine practical self-care with evidence-based knowledge – supported by my current master’s studies in nutritional therapy.

As a holistic nutrition consultant, I believe that food has healing powers! The foundation for a healthy mindset is a healthy body—it is our temple and our most valuable asset. Because we sometimes forget this in today's loud and fast-paced world, I aim to inspire others to eat more consciously and mindfully and to understand which foods and eating habits nourish the body.

Mental health is vital because it shapes how we experience and respond to life’s challenges, influencing our capacity for balance, resilience, and growth. You can train your mind to navigate adversity with equanimity, kindness, and break free from ingrained patterns that hold you back.
Find authentic presence and sustainable inner-peace.

Hi, I'm Patricia – founder of Slows!
I am actually an industrial engineer and former social media consultant who took my work a bit too seriously and neglected other areas of my life. Mental health is important to me because people are important to me! We only have this one health, and we can proactively do something about it.
