About me

Getting to know me

I live with my husband, our three teenage boys, and  Einstein, our family dog, in White Rock, BC.  

Already as a child, it was important for me to explore the world of fairy tales and fantasies.  It was there that I was able to find places within me that were colorful, happy and uplifting.  That is probably why I decided to become a flight attendant with Lufthansa because I wanted to search for these places in the “real world”.  Today, I draw my strength from these colorful inner spaces and I am always looking for new ways to access and express them through writing and painting. I am also a professional artist and published author.

At the same time I worked towards my Bachelor and Master degrees in Education with a minor in Psychology at the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany.  That is where I discovered my love for teaching where following my graduation, I worked as a primary school teacher.  It was also at that time, that I was asked to incorporate my newly developed expressive learning concept which allowed students to learn creatively and independently so that they could connect with their authenticity.

​

In 2009, our family moved to Canada where I began working with essential oils.  I had personally used them for many years and the more I learned, the more I became fascinated by their mental/emotional power.  Following the completion of a German certified program, I graduated with a certificate in “Psychotherapeutischer Aromapraxis”.  Here I learned how essential oils can work as neurotransmitters and thereby influence our behavior through the creation of pathways in the brain.  They are a powerful tool that promotes optimal mental health. 

​

Over time, it became increasingly clear to me how many people suffer from stress and anxiety – and how few simple, self-directed tools are available that they can use consistently in their everyday lives.

Because scents are directly linked to memory and emotion, they offer a powerful way to create supportive rituals that promote calm and focus.

​

From this experience, I founded Neuroaromatics™ – a trademark-protected concept that combines the latest findings in fragrance research with emotional well-being.

My compositions are developed on a scientific foundation and comply with the regulatory requirements of Health Canada. At the same time, they are guided by a deep sensitivity to the specific needs and lived experiences of the people I work with.
