I'm Julia, and five years ago, I was living the very contradiction you might be experiencing now. As a sustainability consultant working with multinational corporations, I had a well-paid, high-impact career helping organizations create positive environmental change. On paper, my life looked exactly like what I thought I wanted.
But behind the scenes, I was trapped in constant mental noise, emotionally numb, and profoundly uncertain of my next step.
I was navigating a corporate career that felt increasingly misaligned while battling mental and chronic health issues, including persistent bladder infections, digestive problems, and the kind of exhaustion that sleep wouldn’t fix. These often left me bedridden and unable to enjoy my life, ultimately culminating in a one-week hospitalization due to a severe kidney infection. Despite receiving treatment for the infection, medically, no root cause for the persistent exhaustion and recurring symptoms could be found, doctors simply attested that I was under chronic stress. My body and mind were sending clear signals…and finally, I was ready to listen. I tried all the common advice: I went to yoga, practiced mindfulness, and attempted to relax, but none of it went deep enough to touch the root of the chronic exhaustion.
I felt burned out, not simply due to external workload, but because the chronic stress & my subconscious conditioning had left me empty and disconnected from my authentic strengths & purpose. Despite always loving to speak and write, I was paralyzed by imposter syndrome, unable to set healthy boundaries and afraid to show up authentically.
I was helping companies become more sustainable while my own inner world was in complete depletion. And yet, I had this quiet knowing…that there was something else out there for me.
Beyond the Facade: My Journey from Depletion to Authentic Purpose
The transformation that followed wasn't about pushing myself to become perfect; it was about learning to treat myself with compassion, patience, and care.
Through dedicated mind-body healing and nervous system regulation, I began to gently let go of years of stored chronic stress, which finally stabilized my persistent health issues. I leveraged Hypnotherapy and deeper somatic practices to dig into subconscious beliefs and rewire the chronic negative patterns that had been running my life. Slowly, I found the energy to take my first steps toward something new. I initially went to Paris for a few weeks, which quickly turned into a longer professional assignment. I began to feel alive again, met my wonderful partner, and started the professional training that led me to build a new career path focused on Inner Regeneration.
But here's the most important truth I want you to know: I am not "fully healed" or always feeling limitless. I still experience fear, frustration, and anxiety about the state of our world. The difference now is that I no longer shame myself into performance. I treat my body as my partner, not my enemy. I give space for all my emotions, even the painful ones, and I have stopped limiting myself to who I thought I could be.
Today, I split my time between Berlin and Paris, doing work where my values and my personal purpose are in balance. But more than the external changes, I wake up each day feeling genuinely excited about my life. I’ve learned how to maintain my commitment to meaningful work without sacrificing my well-being, relationships, or sense of self, achieving a life and career that nurture me instead of depleting my life energy.
Inner RegenerationMy unique Approach
My unique approach, which I call Inner Regeneration, recognizes that you don't need to be fixed or fundamentally changed. You need the right support to process what's been weighing you down and to reconnect with the resilient, creative, authentic person you naturally are.
Drawing from my Master's degree in Psychology, Diploma in Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy, and my extensive personal journey, my personal impact lies in curating the most effective tools and techniques, then creating the safe and fertile ground for you to heal sustainably, so you develop the inner capacities to change the outside systems for the better.
Just as regenerative agriculture works with natural cycles rather than depleting the soil, Inner Regeneration works with your natural capacity for healing rather than forcing change. We don't just manage your anxiety; we understand and transform what's creating it. We don't just cope with perfectionism; we heal the underlying beliefs and experiences that fuel it.
Beyond Individual Healing
Creating Ripples of Change
When you heal your relationship with stress, perfectionism, and self-doubt, something beautiful happens. You don't just feel better, you become more present in your relationships, more creative in your work, and more effective at whatever positive change you're trying to create in the world.
Many of my clients discover that as they develop emotional resilience, authentic boundaries, and nervous system regulation, they naturally become more innovative, influential, and genuinely impactful. They stop trying to prove their worth through endless striving and start contributing from a place of authentic strength and clarity.
Your well-being isn't separate from your impact, it's the foundation for it.
You have one precious life and unique gifts to offer the world. Learning to thrive sustainably isn't selfish, it's essential. When you model authentic well-being while pursuing meaningful work, you give others permission to do the same.
Ready to discover how sustainable well-being can amplify rather than compete with your meaningful work?
Let's explore what becomes possible when you stop choosing between impact and inner peace.
