Hi, I’m Bettina, My mission is to bring self-healing, confidence, and self-empowerment through the modalities of yoga, meditation, holistic mind-body work and coaching to you.
I grew up in Germany, learning about all the Great Masters and Geniuses of the current and past times. Feeling slightly insignificant amongst all that awesomeness, the questions of “… and what have I got to offer the world?” and “why am I here?” have haunted me and driven most of my life’s decisions from a young age.
Determined to find my purpose and with a passion for any type of sport, optimal health, and the human body, I studied nursing.
This, and working in the corporate world as an internal sales assistant for a well-known German medical company, further sparked my fascination with mind-body-energy medicine as well as the desire to approach health and healing from a different angle.
Formal studies in health science, energy medicine and emotional healing gave me a vast understanding of the mind-body connection. This led me to run my own business in Remedial Massage Therapy, Reflexology, and various energy healing modalities since 1996. I have impacted the health and wellbeing of hundreds of clients with this work.
After both of my children started school, I fulfilled my desire to become a yoga and meditation teacher, so as to pass on the vast benefits I received from my own practice to a larger community. Since opening the doors to our boutique studio in Frankston South in 2011, I have shared yoga & meditation as a tool for a healthy lifestyle, to find inner peace and to gain physical and mental strength, clarity and calm with thousands of people. My aim is for people to feel again, feel their physical bodies, and feel their emotions. To guide them to be peacefully with what is. To reconnect with their infinite innate potential; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. And to heal on those levels. To feel connected, confident and comfortable in one’s body fosters an immense mental and emotional strength alongside peace. It also allows us to connect to others and to life more deeply.
My intrinsic gift is to make people feel at ease, inspire them to be their best self and to connect them to their heart’s desire.
My vision is to heal the world and bring joy to all I meet.
