Who am I now – and what truly matters in the next chapter of my life.
I’m not only a coach, I’m an artist too.
And I know it from my own experience: My time in the studio is not a break from thinking, but a path to clarity.
When I paint, something inside me falls into place. Not logically, but harmoniously.
Many decisions that I later make consciously have their origins precisely there: in the creative process. Sometimes even subconsciously.
That’s why I know what I’m talking about when I say: art is much more than that.
As an artist and professional coach, I use creative practice myself to reconnect with what is really important to me.
And this program is an invitation to you. To reconnect with yourself.
And don’t worry, you don’t have to be able to “paint”; it’s about letting go—without any demands for perfection or comparisons.
Why Art Coaching works
Many people eventually reach a point where they ask themselves: “The same old routine every day. What is it all for, really?”
On the surface, everything is fine. Professionally, you are established, experienced, and competent. And yet, something is missing: meaning, inner alignment, the feeling of truly being connected to what you do.
This question is not unfamiliar to me either. And it is the starting point for why I found my way into self-employment and today offer Purpose-oriented Art Coaching.
Why Classic Methods are often not enough
When people search for purpose, they often resort to tests, analyses, or goal definitions. This can be helpful, but only up to a certain point.
Meaning can rarely be found purely rationally. It doesn’t only arise from thinking, but from the interaction of thinking, feeling, body awareness, and experience. Simply listening to your gut feeling again. But what if you haven’t perceived your gut feeling for so long and have lost the connection?
Many of my clients know very well what they can do. But they have lost touch with who they are at their core – beyond roles, expectations (private and professional), and the logic of performance.
What Children show us about Truth and Clarity
Have you ever watched a child drawing?
Children are completely absorbed. They don’t think about whether it looks “good.” They don’t compare themselves. They are simply there, present, focused, in the doing.
Psychologically, we call this a Flow State: a calm, concentrated, almost meditative state, complete immersion in the activity, forgetting time, where action and awareness merge.
Ask a child a question in that moment – and you often get a surprisingly honest answer. Not because children are “smarter.” But because their mind is currently open, not controlling.
Precisely this state is the foundation of my work in Art Coaching.
Why Art helps find Purpose
Artistic processes bring us right back there: to a state of presence, openness, and inner contact. When we draw, paint, or work with symbols,
- thinking slows down
- attention turns inward
- images, feelings, and insights emerge before we “make” them
Neuroscientifically speaking, we access figurative knowledge – a form of knowledge that often precedes our conscious thinking.
Purpose shows up in these moments not as a finished answer, but as an inner resonance: This feels right. This is me.
Art-Coaching: Purpose beyond Self-Optimization
In my Art Coaching, I combine:
- Professional coaching expertise
- Art-based methods
- Narrative reflection (the personal life story)
It is not about “being creative.” And certainly not about producing art.
It is about opening an inner space, in which you encounter yourself again – without pressure, without judgment.
Purpose arises where we stop explaining ourselves and start listening to ourselves.

Purpose is not a Goal
Meaning is not something you find once and then check off. It is a relationship with yourself that needs to be nurtured. Art helps us with this because it brings us into contact. Not with the ideal image, but with what is there.
And that is exactly where meaning begins.
If you like, we can clarify in a non-binding conversation whether this path is the right one for you at the moment.
