Where it all began
My childhood in rural southern Germany was enriched by experiences in nature. At the same time, I grew up within a maternal lineage deeply rooted in creativity and the craft of tailoring.
From an early age, I felt a personal connection to fabrics, shapes, and working with my hands. At seventeen, I began to carry on this tradition in my own way by attending a three-year fashion design school in Schwerin. That marked the beginning of my own creative journey.
Skin as a Canvas
During my second year there, I began tattooing—initially as a form of creative expression, an act of self-empowerment, and driven by a deep fascination with skin as a canvas.
Germany felt small to me back then, and a strong desire to discover the world was growing within me.
At the age of twenty, I moved to London. Together with a friend, we founded our own fashion label while also working as head designers for a larger brand. After three intense years, our path led us to Berlin, where we also opened a concept store.
From the Outside In
Rapid success, a lack of experience, and the responsibility of running two companies took their toll. I burned out and increasingly lost touch with myself.
My health also suffered, forcing me to pause and re-examine my life.
This difficult period became a turning point. The desire for healing led me down a new path.
A Different Way of Healing
During my training as a naturopath, I met Anyu, who later became my shamanic teacher. Over the years, I had the opportunity to learn—through wilderness camps, vision quests, individual ceremonies, and teaching circles—and to deepen my connection to the spirit world.
I owe a great deal to these experiences. They helped me discover my own cosmology, unfold my gifts, remember my place in the greater whole, and find healing.
In Search of My Roots
I began to travel, exploring my roots in Northern Thailand, and felt an increasingly strong desire for a more meaningful life and to find my way back to myself.
In the process, I recalled a childhood dream of becoming a nurse and midwife. I decided to work in the healthcare sector.
This decision changed my life.
Called into the Wilderness
Mother Earth ceaselessly calls me into her wilderness so that I can learn directly from her and continue to listen.
Gradually, I began to share this experience with others and to bring them into this space during wilderness camps.
Tattooing as Ritual
This path has also changed the way I tattoo.
Today, my work is guided by intention and is more than just body art. It is a rite of passage—a personal, conscious ritual that sparks growth and awakening.
From within you, manifested on your skin.
A path that continues to unfold
Textiles remain deeply intertwined with my life—whether drum bags, ceremonial attire, or custom (outdoor) clothing. Together with my mother, I create these pieces from natural materials; their origins are just as important to me as the authentic, vibrant feel they offer when worn.
I continue to walk the shamanic path with Anyu as my teacher—with devotion, compassion, and a steadfast practice of remembering and deepening.
From the Heart
I thank, from the bottom of my heart, all beings who have supported me on this path and continue to do so.
And I thank all of life.
May all beings be blessed, happy, and free.
