#17 - April showers bring May flowers 🪭

Hello my dear,

The warm weather is coming, and since we are part of nature, we need to be a little patient so the seeds we’ve planted have time to bloom. I recently discovered this lovely English expression: “April showers bring May flowers.” Beautiful, right?

We’re in Aries season 🔥 This is the first sign of the zodiac, known for being bold, impulsive, and direct. Aries is a natural leader, it’s the warrior of the zodiac and let’s be honest, it’s an intense sign! This month, that intensity will peak: on April 17th, six major planets will be direct in Aries, meaning we’re being pushed into direct action! Please, move with intention because fire without direction just burns, but fire with direction creates!

How would you describe your journey as a wellness entrepreneur in Berlin?

My journeys have always been driven by joy and enthusiasm. Berlin is a wonderful city to experiment, collaborate and share. At the same time, as non-native speaker and a freelancer, language was the initial challenge when setting up my business, as well as navigating the financial downside of making a living following my passion. To be focused and structured helped a great deal, especially with bureaucracy, financing and dealing with contracts. I’ve learnt to ask for help, do exchanges and outsource what I cannot do myself and concentrate my energy on what feels more organic to me.

After owning a Pilates studio in Friedrichshain, you now focus on Spinal Energetics. Could you explain what this practice is and what drew you to this approach?

I encountered Spinal Energetics at a turning point in my life. After years of integration following a spontaneous Kundalini awakening, it felt the right time to turn this energetic exploration outward. Spinal Energetics works with the physical spine, nervous and energetic system. We facilitate access to deeper layers of the client’s experience, where tension is held. The goal is toward widening the client’s window of tolerance and more ease in the process of integration of life challenges. 

What benefits do clients usually notice?

Clients say they feel  lighter, as if a heavy weight was lifted, deeply connected and also more vulnerable. The usual mind-chatter is much calmer and slower. I see the best results when working together for 3-5 sessions. Physical tensions decrease when the whole system initiates inner movements and starts to integrate it in everyday life. Clients often notice how their relationships and external circumstances seem to shift in subtle ways, as their awareness deepens.  

What’s your long-term vision for your work as an entrepreneur and healer, and how do you hope to impact others through it?

My work is a doorway to approach life-challenges by listening and feeling deeply into our inner landscapes. Since much of our lives happen in our heads, I’d like to guide clients toward more presence and less analysis, more inner connection and less escapism. We lost our capacity to attend to discomfort and, with this, also the ability to learn from what is truly calling for our attention. We have wonderful tools available to us, curiosity and openness are the entrance door.

Imagine lying inside a massive wooden instrument, a Sound Tube tuned to 432 Hz, where sound stops being something you listen to and becomes something you enter. The Sound Tube is a big, handcrafted wooden instrument—one of only ten in the world and the only one in Berlin!

I met Anna for a sound healing session and entered a trance-like state where I could fully relax and explore sound on a whole new level. It was not about listening to music, it was more about becoming the sound and I absolutely loved Anna’s warm, sunny energy!

Rooted in a background of music and craftsmanship, Anna’s work sits somewhere between art, therapy, and ritual. I totally recommend to experiment that <3

Behind the masks we wear is our soul, full of light and energy, just waiting to be expressed. That, I truly believe, is who we really are.
But so many of us have a hard time connecting with that voice because it’s been suppressed for too long.

We’ve been taught to listen to all the negative thoughts in our heads, to hold on to old versions of ourselves, and to judge who we are as good or bad.
Too often, we are judging and sabotaging ourselves.
And when we do that, it’s hard to create the life we want, in this exact present moment.

It’s about being fully present, embracing all the parts of you that exist right now, and remembering that you’re free to create a new reality, a new identity, anytime, anywhere.

When you let go of judgment and old stories, you start to feel what it really means to be alive: authentic, open, and free.

Journaling questions:
- What roles do I play for others that don’t feel like me?
- How would I act if no one was watching or judging me?
- If I could drop one mask today, what would it be?
