From the moment I first held a pen in my hand, my love for writing ignited within me. My journey began with working for a Swiss newspaper in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and later pursuing a Master's Degree at the esteemed Bauhaus University. However, it was the world of self-publishing that truly opened doors beyond my wildest imagination.
In 2018, I accomplished a significant milestone by self-publishing my first book. Shortly after its release (18 months), it quickly soared to the remarkable position of #51 on the German best-seller list. This achievement was a turning point that led me to make a bold decision - I quit my day job in a PR Agency in Berlin/Germany. It was during this transformative period that I wholeheartedly embraced writing as my true calling and transitioned into a full-time writer.
During the pandemic, I received numerous inquiries from aspiring authors seeking guidance on their own publishing journey. Inspired by their determination, I founded Digital Authors, a self-publishing company specializing in supporting non-fiction writers. Through Digital Authors, I've had the privilege of helping countless authors successfully publish their books, forever changing their lives.
I am very excited as we embark on this extraordinary writer's retreat, I am thrilled to share my expertise and passion with you on the Hero’s Journey. Please check my latest publication here. Together, we will delve into the depths of your creativity, unlock your writing potential, and discover the boundless opportunities that lie ahead.

Ever since I came in contact with Ayurveda over a decade ago, I have been on a deep dive into a yogic life, the search for truth and the path of constant growth.
After completing a Hatha Yoga Training in India, I founded Sapana Yoga in 2015. My search led me to take many different trainings like Ayurveda, Yin Yoga, Qi Gong, Akashic Records, Bhakti Yoga, Transformational Facilitation, Vegan Nutrition, Coaching & more.
I have always been called to keep on transforming. To find my inner truth, to find clarity on where I want to be in life & to follow my heart and intuition. This has led me to study with many spiritual teachers around the world.
I love to share all my knowledge & wisdom in my Yoga classes, workshops, ceremonies & more.
