about me
Welcome
If you are interested in a hypnosis session, you naturally want to know who you will be working with on your issues. Trust determines success not only, but especially in hypnosis. Because there are so many stories out there about hypnosis that it hardly matters what you already know rationally.
And so your subconscious mind is already checking whether you should contact me.
As subconscious mind, subconscious or unconscious we call the processes in the brain, which we do not perceive consciously. They significantly influence our decisions.
In a nutshell
Since 2012 I have been working full-time in my practice as a hypno-coach. This means that I work outside of the medical profession, and thus neither diagnose conditions nor treat illnesses. I help people who come to me to design their “new me” and become the person they want to be.
I refer to the “new me” as the version of ourselves that we want to be. Time and time again, it turns out that this “new me” is actually our real self that was buried at some point, so to speak.
And so I help my clients to find their way back to themselves and then to continue on their own path.

From scientist to hypnotist
I started as a geoscientist after my alternative civilian service. I have a university degree in mineralogy. After that, I worked for a long time as a management consultant for an international company before I finally started my own business.
What mineralogy, consulting, hypnosis and coaching have in common are processes. In geosciences, it’s the processes, the chemical-physical processes that have to do with the earth. In consulting, it is business processes and the dynamics between the clients’ employees. In hypnosis and coaching, it is the psychological processes that take place in our brains.
All these processes have common elements. And so I benefit quite naturally from all the knowledge and experience I have gained in now over 30 years. I bring this knowledge and experience into the work with my clients to help them in their process and to go their way.
My practice is very centrally located in the center of the metropolitan region of Cologne Bonn and Düsseldorf, easily accessible by public transport and long-distance traffic. I specialize in helping my clients achieve their goals, desires and dreams. For this purpose, I use hypnosis so that they can finally lift their hidden treasures and fully develop their potential.
My hypno-coaching practice is perhaps the only place in the universe where you will not be judged for what you think, feel and want. Because for me, it doesn’t matter what you want to achieve. My goal is to help you independently achieve your goal. To enable you to make the best possible decisions. It is important to me that you get what you need so that you can move forward, privately and professionally.

Self-experience
First contact with hypnosis
When I was about 9 years old, I discovered a small book on hypnosis among the books my great-uncle had left me. My sister and I enthusiastically tried out the instructions. Unfortunately, not with much success.
Conversational Hypnosis
Looking back, I had my first hypnosis experience toward the end of high school, when I became interested in metaphors and storytelling and observed my listeners enter a kind of absent state and apparently their head cinema became very active. At that time, however, I did not know that this was a trance. I just noticed that my listeners were somehow in a different state. It wasn’t until years later that I realized that I was effectively using hypnosis even then.
Stop smoking
At the end of 2007, I decided to quit smoking for good – with self-hypnosis. Until then, I rolled over 30 cigarettes a day with black tobacco. On the 1st Sunday of 2008 I smoked my last cigarette. Since then I am smoke-free. With self-hypnosis.
Lose weight with hypnosis
Over the years as a management consultant I had reached a stately weight of almost 100kg. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to lose weight, I decided to lose weight with self-hypnosis in July 2010. I used the self-hypnosis to specifically change my diet. After seven months I had lost over 30kg.
Self-confidence
In 2011, I used the help of a hypnotist and self-hypnosis to work on myself in such a way that I could build enough self-confidence to start my own business as a hypnosis coach.
Health
Since 2011, I specifically use self-hypnosis and nutrition to strengthen his immune system. Since then, I am much less likely to get sick or catch a cold. When I do get sick, I recover much faster.
Lost recovery
Self-hypnosis is great for finding what has been lost. One event in particular has stuck in my memory. In 2010, I was able to use self-hypnosis to retrieve my passport 6 hours before I was supposed to be at the airport check-in.
