About me

I’m Claudia

I live in Rosenheim, Germany, with my husband, our three daughters and two cats. I work as a data manager and also run my coaching practice alongside my day job.

Personal development and inner growth have been part of my life for many years. Not simply because I found them interesting, but because I was looking for ways to deal differently with tension, self-doubt and a mind that never seemed to switch off.

Today, I bring these personal experiences together with professional training – and with the reality of everyday life: work, family, appointments and all the changes life brings.

My journey started with myself

For a long time, I often felt tense and constantly on edge.

At the same time, I was frequently tired and exhausted. It felt as though I was carrying a weight on my shoulders.

And I spent a lot of time thinking about what other people might think of me or expect from me.

What actually matters to me?

Sometimes, I lost sight of that question.

I had created little islands in my life where I could switch off. With horses. At the opera. Out in nature.

And yet, I often brought my tension with me.

I would sit tense on my horse while my mind was already back with everything I still had to get done. Or wondering what I should have done differently.

At some point, I realised I didn’t want to rely only on those little islands to feel better.

I wanted to learn how to find more of that calm within myself.

I looked for approaches that felt right for me

Over the years, I explored different approaches to personal development, communication, coaching, body-based practices and energy work.

One thing became clear to me: Understanding why I did something was helpful – but sometimes that understanding alone didn’t change how I felt or how I reacted.

EFT, body awareness, imagery and working with different inner parts have been especially valuable in broadening my perspective.

I began to understand more clearly which reactions happen automatically, how past experiences can still affect us today, and how the way we speak to ourselves matters.

And I discovered ways of working with the emotional weight underneath those reactions, too.

I’m not calm all the time today. I still have doubts. I have bad days and situations that challenge me.

The difference is that I now know much better how to meet those moments.

I trust myself and my abilities more. I find it easier to make decisions, and I’m less likely to lose myself in what other people might expect of me.

Life changes – and so does our balance

I’ve experienced very different seasons in my life.

There were times when my career took up a lot of space. Then came years when my children needed me more and other parts of my life moved into the background.

As they grew older, there was more space again – for my career, my coaching training and eventually my own business.

Along the way, I learned something important:

Balance doesn’t look the same in every season of life.

Our lives change. Personally, professionally and through what happens in the world around us.

So for me, it isn’t about finding the perfect balance once and then keeping it forever.

It’s about checking in with yourself again and again:

What matters right now?

What do I need?

And where am I in my own life?

My professional background and training

My professional career began in banking. After completing my banking qualification and a trainee programme, I first worked in customer advisory services and later as a direct marketing specialist.

After taking several years away from work to focus on my family, I returned to part-time work through adult education, where I worked as a seminar facilitator. Today, I work as a data manager alongside my coaching practice.

So I know both worlds: everyday working life with its responsibilities, deadlines and demands – and the deeper exploration of personal development and inner change.

Training and qualifications:

EFT/Tapping training with EFT Universe
Energy Psychology training with EFT Universe
Holistic Pulsing training
Quantum-Touch® training
Person-Centred Communication training based on the work of Carl Rogers
Coaching training

And when I’m not working …

… you’ll most likely find me with my beloved horses, out in nature or at the opera.

I sing in an opera chorus myself, love reading and have a soft spot for gardens.

Perhaps that’s why the name “Thrive with Claudia” – feels so fitting to me.

A garden doesn’t look the same in every season. Not everything grows at the same time. Some things need attention, some need rest, and some simply need time.

To me, thriving doesn’t mean always being calm, confident and in a good mood.

It means getting to know yourself more deeply, daring to try new things and not losing sight of yourself along the way.

My own life has become richer and more colourful because of this.

And I’m curious to see what else might grow.
