Hi, I’m Gita, happy to meet you here.

Born in Germany in the sixties, I grew up in a middle class family grappling with the fallout of the holocaust and WW2 which made me question early what being human really meant. A life changing event in my early twenties led me to studying Zen meditation, Sufism, body-, breath-, and energy work, Bioenergetics and Gestalt therapy and to devoting my life to healing, embodied spirituality and presence.

I am grateful for the roughly eight years when extensive studies led me to England, North Africa, the US and India. In the late 1980s I began training in Counseling, Somatic Therapy, Family Dynamics and Developmental Psychology. I have worked as as a Coach and Counselor since 1991.

I have been teaching Somatic Therapy, Developmental Trauma Healing, corporate Emotional Intelligence seminars, weeklong residential Women’s, Attachment and Resilience Retreats for over 30 years. My approach is customized, existential and informed by these modalities: Somatic Experiencing, developmental trauma healing, Gestalt, Jungian archetypes, shadow and parts work, systemic family constellations, metaphysics, essence work and meditation. I am a Senior Leader for PathRetreats USA.

My home base is Sedona AZ where I love to hike and be in nature. I offer wholistic coaching, trainings and retreats in the US and in Europe.
