I was born in May 1965 and grew up in a small picturesque town in northern Germany. At the age of sixteen, I first came across astrology, and, viewed retrospectively, I think this was probably the defining moment which initiated all my further pursuits in the field.

Both fascinated and skeptical (at first), I considered the proposition that the birth chart should define the character of a person. In the following years, my curiosity led me to strenuously study astrology parallel to my job as a trainee at a record store, my studies in philosophy and psychology and my occupations as a DJane, club manager, promoter and finally product manager at a record label. Soon I had trained myself in calculating and creating horoscopes, and through an in-depth study of the relevant literary titles, lengthy conversations and personal observations, I eventually learned how to analyze and interpret them.

I have always taken a strong interest in peoples' individual motivations and sensibilities, and astrology constantly turned out a reliable compass to detect the aptitudes and proclivities that characterize a personality. I realized that an astrological world view not only enables us to be more open-minded, tolerant and authentic but also reveals new ways of approaching problems, encouraging potentials, and finding solutions. The fact that a horoscope offers said insights in an individual and unique way only increased my fascination for astrology.

In order to better understand how to evaluate the information provided by the horoscope and to create a comprehensive and sensible interpretation, I completed a course in psychological astrology with Helen Fritsch in Hamburg between 1999 and 2002. Through her excellent pedagogical guidance, I learned how to structure the complexity that horoscope interpretation entails. Today I work also as a teacher for Astrology in her centre "Astropraxis" in Hamburg.

As a member of the German Astrologer Association and participant of various seminars conducted at Liz Greene's "Centre for Psychological Astrology" in London - Liz Greene being one of most respected experts worldwide -, I continually improved my knowledge and abilities in the field. Apart from attending lectures and workshops held by renowned German astrologers, I am also qualified as a coach and for working as a health care practitioner, specialized in the field of psychotherapy.

I'd love to pass on to others what I have learned - to discover the possibility of activating inner resources in order to recover the treasure that is buried deep down at the bottom of our soul, often hidden by automatisms and forms of heteronomy we are not aware of.
