About me
Born into a German-Indian family and raised in Germany, India and the US, I learned to navigate different cultures at an early age.
As a cross-cultural and cross-border family mediator, I specialize in helping parents navigate the complexities of co-parenting across borders. My goal is to support parents in finding sustainable agreements that prioritize the child’s need for connection to both parents.
As a family mentor with personal experience of parental child abduction, I am dedicated to helping parents with the emotional and practical aspects of abduction and reunion.
Inspired by my personal experiences and grounded in extensive professional training in mediation and trauma recovery, I bring expertise, empathy, and compassion to my work.
Before turning my focus to families, I worked for nearly two decades as a project manager for German Films, building bridges between the German film industry and film professionals around the world.
