BOOKS THAT INSPIRE. MUSIC THAT MOVES. COACHING THAT EMPOWERS.

I self-publish my books, bringing the topics I want to write about to the world. My main focus is SCHOOL'S OUT FOREVER – my book about leaving the teaching profession (which is not yet available in English). I'm also publishing the A LITTLE HANDBOOK series on various life topics. Here you'll find my books and more about my work as an author.

Music is a unique way for me to express and process my experiences. As LA ANNI , I write and sing about life in all its facets – personal, direct, and heartfelt. Here you'll find my songs, my musical projects and my story as a singer.

COACH

With my SOULCOACHING, I support you in finding your own answers, recognizing connections, and regaining your ability to act. And if you'd like to browse, read, and gather new ideas first, you'll find inspiration and content at SOULKANGAROO to help you take your next steps forward.

built

three new careers.

Leaving school was the major turning point in my life. This step became the starting point for everything that followed. So leaving teaching gets its own section here.

Books

I'm not going to help you quit your job.
I will help you regain your ability to act.

My books for teachers are not yet available in English. My coaching, however, can help you break free from the feeling of being at the mercy of outside forces and structures. I can help you rediscover your ability to act on your own behalf and make healthy decisions.

I am many things. And at some point, I stopped trying to make myself fit.

I was a high school teacher of English and French in North Rhine-Westphalia for 14 years and left my tenured position in 2020. I am an author, singer, songwriter, coach, traveler, and free spirit. Highly empathetic and neurodivergent. And in everything I do, I am also a person figuring out how to truly live this life—with detours and new beginnings, depth and absurdity, lightness and difficult moments.

Along this path, I've tried, learned, questioned, and experienced so much. My books, my music, and my coaching are different outlets for precisely these experiences. I write about them. I sing about them. And I guide people in finding their own path. Not so that you follow my path. But so that you can take from my experiences what will help you find your own.
