Take your
Life back

Let the old stories go that keep you stuck
Reconnect to who you truly are
Find clarity for where you are going

Hello to you. Great you're here.

Something brought you here. An inner knowing. A deep realisation.

The life that you are living right now doesn’t feel like yours anymore. Probably hasn’t for a while.

And you are tired. Of always trying to hold it together. Always being the strong one. Pretending you are ok. When you are not.

You have followed a certain path. Built a career. Created a life.

You built a life together as a couple. You thought this is it. And now?

From the outside it looks good. But on the inside it feels empty. And it’s scary. Because you don’t know anymore what next. 

You just know change is needed.

Right now there is so much pressure that you feel. So many expectations you should meet. You tried to fit in. Make it work. But it doesn’t feel like living anymore. You are just functioning right now. And you are tired. 

What has happened?

We reach this point in our life when we have followed everyone else around us, but not our own true voice. When we tried to fulfil & live other people’s stories & expectations. That were never ours. 

You have given a lot. Ignored your limits. Until now.

You can’t ignore it anymore. You need change.

You want to understand how you got here, reconnect to who you really are and choose a life that finally feels like your own.

If that’s you, then you have come to the right place.

Come back to your own inner guidance. Learn to listen & follow. That's where you create a life that is truly yours. And bring your energy back.

This is where I come in

I help you see & understand the stories and patterns that keep you stuck right now, reconnect you with your own inner voice, and take real steps toward a life that finally feels like your own.

I guide you to a deeper freedom where you are truly living your own way. However that looks like. Guided from inside. Prioritising what gives you energy & what is truly important for you.

And we also do this for you together as a couple. 

Your upbringing shapes you. But it doesn’t define who you are. You decide where to go from here.

I didn’t start this work because it sounded good on a website. This work is a result of my own journey.

I know what it feels like to be strong on the outside and lost on the inside. I know what it takes to release old patterns and stories that feel not like yours. I know the courage that is required to face yourself honestly – and change your life when you don’t even know what next. When you have already build something and now it feels empty.

And I know the freedom waiting on the other side. That makes it all worthwhile. That freedom when you are in alignment with all that you are. Your roots. Your life. Knowing what you want to live moving forward. What is truly important to you.

Admitting that you need change might feel scary. Might feel like a failure. But this is where real change is possible. Knowing yourself on a deeper level. Because when you know where you come from, you know where you are going.

My Story

Hi, I’m Franziska Maria — short Fran.

I’m a Mentor, Facilitator, Ultra Runner and Bavarian woman who once lived a life that looked good on the outside…
but didn’t feel right on the inside.

I grew up in Bavaria, surrounded by nature, tradition, and the stories of my ancestors. A lot of love & wisdom. But also many expectations of who I should be.

I tried to follow a “safe” path: Social Work, Philosophy, a secure job. I tried to be what others needed — even when it drained me.
Working as a Social Worker in the UK showed me the truth:

We repeat the old stories until we choose a different path.

I saw trauma passed through generations. I felt pressure, fear of failing, stress, exhaustion.
I lost myself.

Then I took my first step — literally. I started running. Running became my initiation.
Into a different life. My own.

I trained in NLP & Life Coaching. And in Systemic Constellations. This work helped me to let my own old stories go & reconnect in a deeper way to my own roots. And I discovered a clarity & strength through it that I never knew I had.

And one New Year’s Eve, sitting by a fire, I asked my ancestors to help me create and live a life that felt truly mineI listened & followed.

I left a marriage that had become too small.
I ran my first marathon in Mexico — in sandals.
I ran my first Ultra in the USA. In sandals.
I followed my intuition, step by step, even when it made no logical sense.

Every run showed me:

Trust your own path. Take one step. Then the next. Even when you can’t see where it leads.

Taking my own steps led me to meet my now husband. We met while running. We trusted our paths that led us to meet deep in the Copper Canyon in Mexico. We said YES to this life together. And now we are married, deeply in love & supporting each other in creating a life that fulfils both our visions.

And I now help people to release the weight of the past, reconnect with your roots, rebuild real energy & trust and take your steps into the life that is meant for you. Whether that’s with you alone or with both you & your partner together.

If you feel it’s time to fully start living your own life, no matter what that looks like, I am here. Let’s begin together.

I support individuals & couples & groups

  • To loosen old family stories & emotional patterns and triggers
  • To bring generational healing & find strength in our roots
  • To face yourself honestly & be clear what you want & don’t want anymore
  • To calm your nervous system & find inner security and trust
  • To build up energy again – physical, mental, emotional
  • To take new decisions with courage & create your own path
  • To take steps & decisions that you have been too scared to take 
  • To bring movement into your life for healing, strength & more energy
  • To reconnect together as a couple, family & team and develop trust again

This is for you if

* you are someone who is ready to live with more clarity, truth & freedom

* you want a life that isn't driven by pressure, fear or old stories - but inner strength, awareness & self connection.

* you feel stuck between who you were taught to be… and who you are becoming

This is not about “fixing yourself.” Not about becoming someone else. But about coming back to yourself —and trusting your own path.

“Your Questions helped me reflect on things I hadn’t given thought to for over a decade, and your sharing of your stories, experience and wisdom helped me improve my thinking, increase my clarity and strengthen my sense of self. 
 
I always knew I was in a safe space and could ultimately trust in you as my guide and that made it incredibly comfortable to be open, and to really try to go deeper in myself, thinking about what is really going on and where to go next. It was all incredibly helpful and just what I needed.”
