Astrological &
therapeutic education.
First and foremost, I’d like to say that life itself had been the most profound school. It were my personal experiences and transformation of those that have taught me how to see myself with eyes of compassion and create a similar space for others where alchemy can happen. Nevertheless – especially when it comes to holistic sciences – I feel it’s important to validate my work through education and honor my teachers that have brought me onto this path by sharing their knowledge and wisdom with me. A special “Thank you” goes therefor to Giorgia Pecora who ignited the spark of Astrology within me, Elke Buck who has guided me through the guidelines of working as an astrologer and Michael De Baker who passionately taught me about the world of Evolutionary Astrology and the evolution of human consciousness. All of them and many more have supported me on this path tirelessly and with all their hearts which I’ll be always grateful for.
