​I was born on January 10, 1965, in Franconia. My father was Franconian, and my mother was from Berlin. I spent the first 18 years of my life in a village in Franconia. Because of my career, I moved frequently over the following years, before finally settling in Berlin in 2009. In a way, life has come full circle. 
For many years, my professional work focused intensely on outward appearances — on surfaces, aesthetics, and the way people and places present themselves. This shaped me and gradually changed the way I see things. 
Over time, I became increasingly interested in people’s inner lives — their personal motivations and their unique perspectives on life. The questions that drive me are: What defines a person? What are their roots, and what has grown over the course of their life? 
I look closely, listen carefully, and often sense what is left unsaid. My fundamentally compassionate and reconciling attitude toward people — both the living and the deceased — forms the foundation of my funeral speeches.
The funaral speech can also be delivered in english. 
In this work, I benefit from my many years of experience as a coach and trainer, including in international settings. It is deeply important to me to truly understand the personality of the deceased and to express it in words that resonate. In this way, I create final, heartfelt portraits shaped by understanding and affection — portraits that help those left behind build a bridge into the time of farewell and what lies beyond.
