Something about me

I have more than 30 years of experience in successfully running my own businesses both locally and internationally in various industries and have helped my clients do the same.

I live my life in two equally beautiful and yet very different places at opposite ends of the world – Cape Town in South Africa and the island of Reichenau in Germany where I was born, went to school and studied.

Both are home to me and being part of these two communities and doing my work both face to face and online with my German and English-speaking clients makes my heart sing!

Sharing my training and practical experience in business with my clients and creating an environment in which we let our best thinking evolve together is a source of great satisfaction and joy to me.
It gives my life meaning to be of value to others in this way.

The most important factor in finding my way to a life and a business that were right for me was regular coaching sessions in which I reflected with vigor and focus.

What my clients say

“When I wanted to start my coaching business during the course of the infamous year of 2020, I had no idea how or where to start.

Vera proverbially took my hand and walked me through the first couple of months step-by-step. It was incredibly valuable to be able to have her support and have a space to brainstorm my ideas out loud.

Vera is consistent, reliable, supportive and grounded as a business coach, and I would recommend her services to anyone who is starting or running their own business. “

” A thank you will never suffice for how I feel about being in sessions with Vera last year!
I started working with Vera weekly for weight loss. I wanted to look and feel fabulous. This was my time to blossom. This was by no means a quick way to lose weight. Instead I found a way to lose 18 kg slowly and consistently.

In my sessions with Vera, I had the rare opportunity to face my inner demons in a safe space and discover what was stopping me from losing weight. Vera has great aptitude to listen. I felt free and open to explore my thoughts and emotions and to come up with my own ideas.

I have now reached my goal weight and I feel fabulous!
I learnt so much about myself and my thinking patterns. I found that I could change habits and create a new version of myself. I was not trapped anymore. I had the power to change!

Since working with Vera I have also started selling the jewelry that I manufacture, instead of just making it and getting stuck there. I will keep in contact with Vera and go back to her when I need to tackle a new life challenge. “

” I have been having coaching sessions with Vera for a few years now.

Vera brings ease to capability development, through her dedication to what will serve her client’s unique needs.
Her attentive witnessing, strategic enquiry and disciplined way of returning to her client’s goals – all these things guarantee progress.

This, combined with the way she allows freedom of thought and problem solving to flourish, allows for a transformative connection that opens possibilities and works with the client’s energy for sustainable personal growth. “

” After my first session I couldn’t wait for our next meeting.

We’ve dealt with my fashion styling business, as well as my personal life, and every time I’ve walked away with helpful tools how to move forward.

Vera encouraged me to think and gave me the space to do it. We took turns in asking questions & responding.

I would highly recommend everyone to book a session.
Thank you, Vera, for a wonderful experience, for your calm and gentle encouragements. I’ll be back! “

” If you are self-employed or a business owner looking for some support and inspiration, a calm voice of reason, a neutral sounding board and a mathematical genius, do not hesitate to get in touch with Vera.

She is a dynamo business coach and her guidance and insight into my business problems was phenomenal. “

” I have worked with Vera on several occasions.

This year Vera has provided me with support on starting my own consultancy – this has taken the form of thinking sessions (providing me the space to clarify my own thinking and make better decisions for myself) and entrepreneurship mentoring (providing me with specific guidance on various aspects related to starting and running a successful consulting business).

I am a competent researcher. However, I felt quite lost as to how to start and run my business. During sessions with Vera, I have worked on topics such as how to manage clients, invoicing and how to sell my research skills as a product.

Vera’s guidance and insights have made a direct impact on the profitability of my work and have increased my competence as an entrepreneur.
Vera skillfully moves between providing me with the space and support to do my best thinking and giving me the insights, advice and information that I need. “
