A Life Led by Knowing
In my mid-thirties,
I packed up my Berlin apartment,
sold my furniture, and bought three one-way tickets.
On New Year’s Eve, I boarded a plane to Hawaii with my two young children.
There was no master plan.
Only an inner certainty.
Life unfolded from there in ways I could never have predicted —
an international coaching practice,
remarkable clients, a book,
and eventually California,
the place I now call home.
What I learned is this:
When we follow our aliveness, we meet our destiny.
The moments that truly change us
are rarely strategic.
They begin with restlessness.
With curiosity.
With a sense that something no longer fits.
That’s where my work begins.
Not in fixing people, but in helping them recognize what’s true.
How I Work
My work lives in the space between words —
in the pauses, the hesitations,
the things you almost say.
When we slow down enough to listen deeply, something shifts.
You come alive.
You feel seen.
Your aliveness leads us to the truth you sense,
but haven’t yet been able to name.
Sometimes this happens in a single, focused conversation.
Sometimes it unfolds over time.
I don’t prescribe.
I don’t push.
I offer undivided attention —
the kind that allows what’s true to emerge.
The decisions you make from that place
can change your life.

If something here resonates,
there are different ways to begin.

Clarity first. Direction follows.

My Experience
As a German life coach based in Los Angeles, I draw on international experience, extensive coaching training, and a deep commitment to aliveness over performance.
To feel like yourself again,
do more of what you love.

In Their Words
Karin really gets you. She has a rare ability to recognize your gifts and help bring them forward. Our work together allowed me to step into my talents with greater confidence and clarity.
Karin helped me reconnect with my own voice and trust it again. After our work — and reading ALIVE — I felt aligned with my path in a way I hadn’t before.
