Wow – I’m speechless!
Our video of the Brocken ascent has now reached over 4.5 million people on TikTok. Countless viewers have commented, saying they can’t believe what they’re seeing (is this AI?!), asking why we’re wearing light clothes but gloves and hats, or wondering if we’re freezing or getting sick. Others have passionately debated the emissions from the Brocken Railway. But watching and liking is one thing – joining in is something entirely different. Out of those 4.5 million people, only THREE have actually written to me, saying they’d like to join. Cold scares people, and it’s easier to avoid facing our fears. But when we confront our fears and overcome them with the right support, we gain confidence and strength. We open ourselves up to new perspectives – even in everyday life back home. So why just watch when you could become part of an unforgettable adventure yourself? Be spontaneous & join us from February 15–21! |

Intentional Cold Exposure
What is the best form of cold exposure?
In recent years, cold exposure has become very popular. With this popularity, a multitude of opinions, protocols, and methods have emerged on how to best utilize the cold. Already in Kneipp's bestseller "Meine Wasserkur" (1886) various forms of cold exposure were introduced. Nowadays, countless online influencers spread a variety of self-developed protocols. But what is the best form of cold exposure? My answer is: It depends on YOU! It depends on you, your intention, and your situation! What do I mean by that? We all have different intentions (regeneration, fun, resilience, cold tolerance building, symptom relief), prerequisites (past experiences, mood, health, energy level, body type), and find ourselves in different situations (water temperature, outside temperature, weather, location, and surroundings of the ice bath). Your intention is one of the most important factors determining which form of cold exposure is best for you! Depending on why you want to practice cold exposure, one approach may be more suitable for you than another (see my book "The Healing Power of Cold"). Develop your own personalized practice: (1) Intention: Consider why you want to do it. (2) Prerequisites: Be aware of yourself and how you feel. (3) Situation: Take into account the current weather conditions and local circumstances. The best form of cold exposure = Intentional Cold Exposure! Cold exposure that aligns with YOUR intention, YOUR body, and YOUR situation! If you are interested in teaching Intentional Cold Exposure to others, then let us train you to become an ICE Coach! |

About me and my life
After completing my PhD in molecular biology (June 2012), it was clear to me that neither an academic career nor a career in the pharmaceutical industry would fulfill me. In order to find a new purpose and to recover from Burnout symptoms that arose due to the exhausting pressure during my PhD, I decided to take a break. I traveled South-East Asia for nearly a year. In northern Thailand I came into contact with meditation for the first time - in retrospect, I am sure that this was the first step in the right direction and towards a healthier future ...
After my return I worked for a biotechnology company in business development (February 2014- September 2017). During these years my desire for more freedom, for more space for development and personal growth grew steadily - but also my courage. I reduced my weekly working hours and completed my yoga teacher training. In April 2016 I founded my own company to teach the relaxation techniques that have helped me to deal better with work-related stress. |
It makes me happy to see how yoga, breathing techniques and meditation also helps my students deal better with stress. When I realized how important this work is, I decided to start two further educations despite working part-time in biotech and being self-employed already. I wanted to learn more about stress reduction methods - and understand how they affect the body within. In early 2017 I started my training as a Wim Hof trainer and my education to become a Naturopath. Before passing both exams in winter 2017, I did quit my biotech job completly! I did never regret that step!
