As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before your think.

My Story
Born in Germany to a German mother and an Indian father, my parents’ marriage did not last long. At the age of two, my father took his children to India without my mother’s knowledge or consent. After a long legal battle in India, my brother and I returned to Germany with our mother more than two years later. Seven years passed until I saw my father again, and it took two decades to reconnect with my Indian family. I didn’t reflect on these early childhood experiences until 40 years later, when a severe autoimmune disease and a long journey to recovery became a pivotal moment in my life.
An interculturalist by birth, building bridges between cultures has always been at the heart of my work. For almost 20 years I have done so in the service of the German film industry. After recovering from my disease, I felt that my work should be more personal. It was bridges between families in conflict across cultures and borders that I wanted to build. Engaging with families allowed me to blend my professional expertise with the personal insights gained from my own family’s complex journey across three continents.
Mediating between two parents all my life, I have now elevated my skills and trained to become a transformative mediator and cross-border family mediator. My professional training in trauma recovery coaching and traumatic stress studies has given me powerful insights into childhood trauma and how it shapes a person’s behavior later in life.
I split my time between my three countries—Germany, India and the US—dedicated to helping families like mine make the best possible choices for their children so that they can maintain an active relationship with both parents and stay connected beyond borders.
