I’m Nathalie, and I believe that every person has the ability to learn, grow and continue developing throughout their life. While we are often influenced by our habits, beliefs and patterns, we still have the freedom to choose how we think, act and live.

To me, a fulfilling life is not defined by power, status or wealth, but by meaningful relationships and spending time on the things that genuinely bring us joy. I believe in connection, compassion and supporting one another rather than competing against each other.

By consciously focusing on the present moment, we can experience life more fully and appreciate it more deeply. We can spend a lot of time reflecting on the past or planning for the future, but the only moment that is truly available to us is the one we are living right now.

This perspective helps me move through life with more presence, lightness and a positive outlook – and it continues to inspire both my personal life and my work as a coach.

The following values are particularly important to me at this stage of my life and serve as guiding principles: freedom, love, learning, purpose, family, justice, connection, openness, curiosity, aliveness and joy.

Exploring your own values can also be part of the coaching process – if it feels helpful and relevant to your individual situation and goals.

A few years ago, I started feeling that something wasn’t quite right. There was a growing sense of dissatisfaction, and I began searching for what was missing.

My professional background is in marketing, with a degree in Business Administration. Two things in particular encouraged me to reflect more deeply on my own path:

1. The focus on communication and psychology during my Master's studies

2. Watching my partner struggle with career dissatisfaction and eventually discover his passion for music

The second point even triggered feelings of envy at times – which, looking back, was really an expression of an unmet longing. I simply hadn't found my own passion yet.

Inspired by a book and by consciously reflecting on my values, needs, wishes and vision for the future, I realised that I wanted to completely change my professional direction.

Through countless conversations, a great deal of self-reflection (“What do I actually want?”), writing, researching, attending career fairs, trying new things – and, honestly, experiencing quite a bit of frustration along the way – I eventually decided to begin two new training programmes: one as a Pilates instructor and one as a systemic coach.

During my year-long coaching training, I realised: this is exactly where I belong. It allows me to use my strengths, experiences and curiosity in a meaningful way to support other people.

Today, I work as a Pilates instructor, continue to work part-time in my original profession and support people through coaching as they navigate their own paths. And along the way, I continue to discover my own Sparkle again and again.

Personal Qualities

“What do you appreciate about me?” – this is a question I asked the people closest to me: my family, partner and friends.

Their answers were surprisingly consistent. They describe me as empathetic, attentive and open-minded – someone who makes others feel comfortable quickly. They appreciate my positive energy, genuine interest in people and my encouraging, proactive nature. They also see me as authentic, confident and inspiring – someone who not only listens, but actively supports others.

I grew up in both Hamburg and Berlin and am the oldest of five siblings, two of whom are still teenagers. This has given me valuable insights into different stages of life and personal development.
