Improved quality of life – more life enjoyment  – more purpose in life

Hello,
my name is Katharina Thuennihsen and for many years now I have had the pleasure of accompanying people on their way to their private and/or professional destination – towards a life full of self-confidence, power and charisma.
My philosophy is to work with clients individually because every human being is unique. Challenges are met by recognizing them and enunciating them clearly.
My yearlong experience influences my work and – according to my clients – often leads to a lasting effect. My approach to challenging issues is effortless, intuitive and deep. I see my clients  as partners who already have the knowledge e/ wisdom how to solve their problems. My task as your coach is to support you accessing your already existing inner wisdom.
„Katharina’s nature is refreshingly unconventional. Her way of communicating is to the point and easy to understand. We`ve achieved substantial changes through long and intensive talks and in a surprisingly short time. I really appreciate that Katharina has a holistic approach.”
Treudis N., Eppstein
Mrs Thünnihsen has helped me in a real emergency. Her empathetic and at the same time direct approach helped me to reflect my situation, to cope with stress and to launch my career.“
Peter B., Essen
Just a few sessions with Katharina helped me to make a big change. After just one session I basically left her practice with so much more energy and courage that I really wanted to come back as soon as possible.”
Rebecca M., Frankfurt
