About Kirsten

I am a passionate advocate for self-awareness. As a teacher, witness, and guide, I empower others to explore and embrace their authentic nature through Human Design.

My work has grown out of my own personal journey. Shaped by religious conditioning and painful family dynamics, I entered adulthood with very little understanding of who I am and what I need to be healthy and fulfilled. After graduating with a Master of Arts in German Literature and Women’s Studies in 2002, I fully dedicated myself to being a mother. For all my good intentions and hard work, by my late thirties I was plagued by health issues, mysterious physical symptoms, and dwindling vitality. Desperate to understand why I was so unwell, I found myself forced to claim full responsibility for my health — body and spirit.

I began with food, which became my medicine and creative outlet, a beautiful way of connecting with myself and others. Soon I was teaching workshops, and I completed a certification as a Holistic Health Coach at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2014.

These studies confirmed my suspicion that well-being is the result of more than just the “perfect” diet. I began adding vital nutrients like meditation, psychotherapy, and compassion to my daily regimen. Baffling symptoms such as irritable bowel syndrome, hypothyroidism, asthma, allergies, skin rashes, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and unwanted weight began to clear up as I learned to honor my needs. I began to replace my pursuit of perfection with a true and compassionate curiosity about what my body wants, and in the process I discovered what I am uniquely capable of giving.

Human Design has been an essential tool in my self-awareness journey. My needs and the needs of those around me now make sense, with the help of a blueprint that shows me how to authentically navigate my choices and relationships. This powerful system continues to help me understand and accept myself — and to guide others toward the relief, love, and empowerment that self-awareness brings.

I am an LA native and mother to three teenagers, and I live in Vienna, Austria.
