WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
How would you like to work with me?
You don't have to turn your whole life upside down. Maybe you want to tackle a specific issue, maybe you first want to figure out where you stand – or maybe you already know: I want to really get to work on this now.
And not every issue requires the same approach. Sometimes it's about recognizing something or overcoming a blockage. Sometimes it requires new experiences, different perspectives, or very concrete next steps. And sometimes you already know what no longer works. Then it's about creating the conditions so that your inner transformation can also manifest itself externally.
What you make of it in your life is always up to you. I can look at it with you, sort things out, resolve them, make possibilities visible, and accompany you on your path. But you alone can walk it.
Therefore, you can join my sessions in very different ways. From a single focused session to an intensive process over several months. You decide how much space you want to give your topic at any given time.
Before your coaching
No preparation necessary. You already bring everything we need for our work together. And don't worry: We'll always find something we can work with effectively! If we're working online, please ensure a quiet, undisturbed environment and a stable internet connection. Ideally, you'll use headphones and a laptop or computer – however, our coaching also works on a mobile phone. Before our session, I'll send you the link to our online coaching session as well as a short video demonstrating the eye movement technique we'll be using. Please also provide contact information, ideally with someone who is geographically reachable, in case you experience a strong reaction during our session.
After a session, try to schedule some downtime. Your system needs time to process and integrate the changes.

I can definitely recommend the coaching. Personally, it helped me a lot in finding better access to myself , being more mindful of my own needs, and recognizing and setting my boundaries more clearly . In everyday life, I notice this especially in my ability to better interpret my body's signals and give it what it needs. For example, I used to often ignore it when my body was screaming for a break; now I give it that break, and even with a clear conscience . Similarly, I used to often agree to things so as not to cause any trouble or to be a relief to others; now, in such situations, I no longer simply say yes, but rather state the conditions under which it works for me. Furthermore, I can look at the past in a completely different way ; I understand why certain things happened and why certain people acted the way they did. This has allowed me to come to terms with many things, and it's much easier for me to encounter people from my past because they no longer trigger any insecurity . And I have much more respect and compassion for my past self; I no longer condemn myself for the past, but understand why I was the way I was.
Having a long history of various eating disorders , coaching was incredibly helpful in helping me recognize certain patterns and connections and finally let go of the last vestiges of the disorder after more than 10 years. (At the time of the coaching, I was already in a stable physical condition and had long recognized that my behavior wasn't healthy; for me, it was about resolving the triggers and their origins, not about acute physical treatment.) I now see my body as a partner , not an enemy, and I've come to understand that I was never the problem, but rather the people around me. As a result, I now only allow people into my life who are truly good for me and strengthen me, and I no longer work against my body, but with it . It's also much easier for me to do things for myself that aren't productive, but simply for relaxation and enjoyment , because I've let go of the pressure to constantly "deliver."
Annika's approach, while also being both personable and structured and professional, made me feel very comfortable during the sessions. She created a trusting atmosphere in which I could quickly open up and even discuss uncomfortable topics. Even when I initially felt resistance, she guided and supported me until I felt comfortable engaging with them.

COACHING OPTIONS
in detail
Important NOTE:
This is NOT a medical therapy offer. It is a self-healing-oriented offer, and each person who participates is responsible for their own experiences.
BASIC CLEAN-UP
Just give it a good tidy-up.

In basic coaching, we specifically address the blockages your body is showing us. Of course, you'll tell me what's on your mind. But if you start explaining everything in detail, I'll quickly stop your flow of words. Because your mind is often talking far too loudly – and that's exactly what we want to bypass.
Instead, we ask your body: Where's the hold-up? Where is there still emotional tension? What finally needs to be released?We might end up with your parents, your birth, your childhood, an accident, an old fear, or a single awful experience. And sometimes, what we find isn't even originally yours. Often, we also take on emotions and burdens that other people around us have carried or simply left behind.
We process what emerges directly, simply following the trail. Using targeted eye movements from the REM phase, we release emotional tension until your body says: STOP, that's enough for today!
And the amazing thing is: we can work both online and on a proxy basis. This is especially useful for addressing issues within family dynamics . For example, do you have a problem with your child? Then you don't have to send your child to coaching. You come. We find the connection and work with what emerges in you. It's all connected anyway.
And then? Then many things can suddenly become easier. You might need less energy to regulate yourself, pull yourself together, protect yourself, or fight against yourself. Things that previously constantly triggered something within you can lose their significance. Setting boundaries, making decisions, maintaining relationships, or simply staying present can suddenly become natural, instead of requiring effort every time. You can once again have more energy available for your life today – instead of wasting it on long-past experiences.
SOULCOACHING
Spiritual deep dive

In Soul Coaching, we essentially do exactly what we do in Basic Coaching: We follow your system and look for where it's stuck. The difference is that here we open up a wide space. EVERYTHING that arises is welcome – and I bring my entire toolbox of methods to bear. Things can and should get quite unconventional: We can work with your body and nervous system , with inner children and lost parts , with your family system and ancestors , with energetic or karmic connections, your soul , past or parallel lives , dream symbols , or your witch wound . We tap, shake, shout, or paint colorful inner images. We don't know beforehand where we'll end up. And that's exactly how it should be.
Perhaps we'll release an old fear and suddenly discover that there's a completely different story beneath it. Perhaps we'll reclaim a part of ourselves that was lost at some point. Perhaps we'll stumble upon an execution. Perhaps your body needs something. Perhaps we'll land in a place for which your mind has no explanation whatsoever. We don't judge what arises . We work with it. What helps is right. That's precisely why I bring into this space everything I've learned, experienced, and, above all, opened up within myself over many years. This allows us to access and follow very different levels as your system opens them up.
Soul coaching therefore doesn't mean we necessarily work in a "spiritual" way. It means: You give the go-ahead for us to look everywhere. Your inner self decides which door actually opens and what is ready to be seen, resolved, integrated, or reclaimed.
And that's why this isn't just about getting rid of baggage. We can also reclaim, connect with, and replenish what you've been missing. Because sometimes your system doesn't need less of something old, but finally more of what sustains you today. Basic Clean-Up coachings clear things out, Soul Coachings fill the voids with your missing pieces.
For this intensive work, you should first complete at least a basic coaching session so we can see how we work together. There, we can resolve fundamental "earthly" blocks and create a stable foundation for everything that follows.
Daniela, ehemalige Lehrerin, 44
For me, it felt like I'd been going through life with pain my whole life . But since I don't know a life without this pain, it's become normal for me. I've learned to live with it, and like with chronic pain in the body, you automatically adopt a kind of protective posture. This puts more strain on other areas, and then they start to hurt too. But you don't recognize this pain, and that's why you notice it. Then you start treating these symptoms without addressing the actual cause. It's like trying to treat a sore back with massages but ignoring the fact that a leg length discrepancy causes a complete misalignment of the body, and that's where the pain actually stems from.
After the session with Annika, I felt something dissolve . As if a knot had been loosened/untied . As if we had found the leg that was too short, the one that had been causing my years of back pain. With the knot untied, it now feels as if my energy can flow much better , as if I am much more in harmony with myself . Similar to EMDR, the process is initially painful (tears). Like a wound that has already scabbed over, but is still festering underneath because so many dirt particles have gotten in. Cleaning the wound hurts, and you feel sore immediately afterward. But the cleaned wound can then finally scab over again and heal completely.
A scar will likely always remain as a reminder, but the intense pain is gone . The advantage over EMDR is that you don't need to know your "trauma" beforehand. Annika senses the root causes, even if you would never have recognized or named them yourself. A therapist can certainly do this too, but it would definitely require many more conversations and sessions . Furthermore, therapy slots are very scarce.

It was a very exciting experience with Annika. I hadn't prepared any specific topics and went into the session completely open . We uncovered and resolved a 12-year-old trauma. It concerned the birth of my child. Things didn't go as planned. I guess I simply "pushed the issue aside." I noticed changes the very next night. My lower abdomen must have been processing something. I was also able to address and resolve issues with my ancestors (parents and those before them). It's incredible what you carry around with you , so many things you don't even know about (and can't possibly know). We worked intensely and in a very moving way. My inner self was very much involved; it cried, vomited, and released. It was exhausting, but in the "safe space" and with her guidance, it wasn't a problem .
Several things have become clearer in my interactions with my child . This realization helps me to put them into practice. The most striking thing, however, was the issue with my leg. I have great difficulty falling asleep; I'm restless, and my legs (especially my right one) are driving me almost crazy. They're restless and fidgety. I had previously suspected restless legs syndrome or an iron deficiency. But no, with Annika's help, I discovered that my leg had been traumatized since I was knocked off my bike when I was 18. My right leg was severely affected. And I had apparently simply pushed this issue aside. My leg hadn't forgotten. Now, it's no longer the main problem when I try to fall asleep in the evenings. It's incredible how far we've come. I'm curious to see what else might happen (in the aftermath).
These were all insightful and sometimes harsh realizations that will hopefully help me avoid making the mistake of pushing away my feelings in the future.

YOUR BREAKTHROUGH
Push your boundaries. Take the next step.
YOUR BREAKTHROUGH is right for you if you realize: This is about more than just one issue. Something is happening. A breakup. A new relationship. A fresh start, either professionally or personally. A change of location. A decision you've been mulling over for a while. Or an inner issue where you sense: If something truly shifts here, it will change more than just this one area.
I will guide you through your personal breakthrough over approximately three months – with a workbook , pre- and post-session discussions , and three intensive coaching sessions . We will work intensively, allow the changes to take effect, and observe how they impact your daily life.
At YOUR BREAKTHROUGH, we examine your issue within a broader context . What is connected to what? Where do patterns repeat themselves? What is actually a blockage – and what might not be at all? What have you already understood but haven't yet implemented? Where is it not more insight that's lacking, but rather experience, confidence, practice, or a concrete next step?
Not everything necessarily stems from another blockage. Perhaps you're lacking an experience, a skill, or a crucial connection. Perhaps something has already shifted internally, and now the conditions need to be created so that you can take the next step externally.
The three-month period also allows me to delve much deeper into your structures than in a single session. This is where my analytical skills come into play: I connect information from your workbook, our conversations, and the individual sessions, recognize patterns over a longer period, and can reveal connections that only become apparent in the overall picture.
The workbook gives us the direction.
Your process shows us where we need to look.
And you decide what you make of it in your life.
FIND YOUR BEARINGS
Know where you stand. Find your direction.

When we're exhausted, stuck, or have been struggling with a situation for a long time, we quickly look for the cause externally: in our job, our relationship, our family, the system, or our life circumstances. Perhaps that's where it lies. Perhaps not. And that's exactly what we should find out before making far-reaching decisions.
The initial assessment is therefore exactly that: a comprehensive inventory. The starting point is your workbook, which you will complete thoroughly beforehand. During our appointment, we will dedicate 60 minutes to an in-depth discussion. You will bring your insights from the workbook, and together we will sort through them: Which skills and resources are already in place? What might still need to be developed or experienced? Where is there a genuine deficiency – and where does it only feel that way? And above all, we will address the question: Is the area you want to change truly the area that needs change?
Building on this, we move into the actual coaching session and work specifically on what has emerged as a relevant starting point. Finally, we summarize the results and examine what you can take away from the entire process for your next steps. You won't leave with a final decision, but rather with a clear understanding of your actual starting point.
Ultimately, you should be able to answer the following questions more clearly: Where am I now? What do I need? What do I want to change? What can I currently change? Why do I want to change it? And what do I need to make change actually possible?
Because that's exactly what the FIND YOUR BEARINGS coaching is about: not deciding from a vague feeling of lack, but first knowing what you are actually working with.

My main problem was, and still is , my anger and impatience . Therefore, we addressed this issue in our first session, which took place about a year ago. During the session, I felt safe and supported by Annika's expert guidance , as she explained each step. Afterwards, I experienced a new sense of calm and understanding .
At the time of the second session, I was feeling extremely exhausted , in a desolate state, and, among other things, on sick leave. Annika let me talk in peace and used kinesiology while I listened. We ended up discussing events in the past: my mother when I was 7, myself when I was 17, and finally my father. The emotions surfacing made me cry a lot. Annika guided me through these emotions skillfully and with care . In the end, negative experiences and feelings were acknowledged, felt, and released, and positive feelings such as belonging, being loved, security, freedom, serenity, and hope were integrated.
For days after the coaching, I felt so much hope and confidence . Thanks to Annika's guidance, I was able to develop a completely new understanding of my parents and also of myself, and the deep doubts I had before the coaching were significantly diminished.
During the four sessions I've had so far, I've felt well cared for and safe with Annika . Each session has brought many new insights; it often feels as if a knot inside me has been untied , and my neck and shoulder tension has improved considerably since then . What I particularly appreciate about her is her honest and interested approach, which is both eye-opening and understanding . You feel supported by her during the sessions , even when you're going through difficult processes.
Whenever an issue arises that's causing me concern, I don't hesitate to book an appointment with Annika. Often, other issues that I wasn't aware of before are then addressed and resolved. Dear Annika, thank you for learning this wonderful method and for bringing so much healing into the world through your work!
