I support people in gaining clarity about what matters and next steps toward experiencing more of what they value in life. I offer coaching, counseling, mediation, empathy, and communication skills development.

I am an ordained interspiritual minister, host Death Cafes, am certified with CNVC, lead Dances of Universal Peace, and have training in movement chaplaincy, restorative justice, and energy healing, plus some additional training in psychosynthesis, trauma and grief.
On the other hand I have a master's degree in English Literature and Counseling, and professional licenses (USA) in clinical social work and professional counseling.

What makes my heart sing: My ragdoll/Persian cat Nuriya running toward me; music (currently especially from Sami Yusuf); people pausing to enjoy my Poetry Stand; Dances of Universal Peace retreats; and the magic that happens when people connect their hearts.

Anja enriches Life around her with knowledge about Nature therapy, NVC, IFS, Needs-based coaching, mindfulness, animism, gardening, food making and self-sufficiency.

Originally from Germany, she has lived in many places and, interestingly, started career and life over several times. The biggest transformations came when life reshaped itself—sweeping away home, relationships, and work all at once. Yet, looking back and into the now, each of those turns ultimately left and leave her more whole and secure on life’s path.

What carries her through the unknowns are the power of community, knowing how to ask the right questions, and connecting with the many shapes and forms of nature, from which there is much to learn.
