Hallo, ich bin Daniela!
Nurturing Relationships: My Experience as a Mother and Daughter
When I gave birth to my daughter, it was important to me from the beginning to give her everything I had missed in my childhood. It was essential for me to have an appreciative relationship with her and to continually nurture our bond as equals. I had also wanted to change my relationship with my parents for a long time. It took time - about 20 years with my father and 30 years with my mother - to be able to connect on an equal footing, to open up to each other and to feel comfortable with each other. These qualities helped me accompany my mother in the best possible way in the last phase of her life.
Deepening My Expertise: Training as a Life and Social Counsellor
In order to deepen my understanding of conscious relationships, I completed a certified training with a diploma as a life and social counsellor through the institution Familylab, founded by Jesper Juul. A renowned Danish family therapist, Jesper Juul is an international speaker and bestselling author of numerous parenting books that have been translated into several languages. His approach has answered many questions about parenting and provided me with innovative tools to promote healthy relationships in families as a family counsellor, mother and also as a daughter.
My Journey as a Guide for Mothers and Daughters
I'm passionate about walking alongside mothers of daughters, and adult daughters of aging parents as they navigate their unique journeys. My guiding principles - Understand, Trust, Connect - have been a game-changer in my own life and in the lives of the women I coach. These values help us build a foundation of empathy, faith, and meaningful relationships, even in the toughest moments. Let's explore how these principles can support you in your own journey.
From Insecurity to Empowerment: My Personal Story
I was not born with the qualities and skills to be a family counsellor as I was raised in a strict and silent home. In my childhood, I was a quiet girl who felt insecure and didn't know how to express herself. Like my parents, I was brought up on meritocratic values and tried to fit in everywhere.
When I had my first au pair experience in North America after graduating from high school, I was looking for someone to rescue me and give me my place in life. It took me a while to realize that this person could only be me. I have learnt that I know myself best and that I have to take responsibility for my life. This includes standing up for myself and respecting my boundaries.
My many experiences abroad and at work, new perspectives on other cultures, and the decision to move 32 times have given me significant insights into the possibilities in my life. During this adventurous time, I got in touch with my feelings and intuition to break old patterns, find my voice, and follow my life's path.
