Here I am. I believe that life is too short to follow other people’s rules. Creativity is my mana, my life force. I get the best ideas when I allow myself to sit in an empty space of complete stillness. Every day I turn to my center. Then I switch to manifestation mode and get it done. Fast.

My body is my temple. Cooking fuels all my senses and I’m inspired by delicious, vibrant food that nourishes me on all levels. I am most radiant when my body moves in harmony with nature’s heartbeat.

From a young age I was a rebel, always thinking outside the box. I was born of equal parts of aspiration and inspiration. I became a singer, dancer, actress, model and moderator. I once ran an event company in Germany, started my own coaching business and lived in a castle. Actually in two.
