ABOUT
Hello, I’m Charlotte.
I believe that our cyclical psychology and physiology can become our greatest asset in how we connect with the world – instead of a hindrance or nuisance.
Through one-on-one work, I support creatives, leaders, and entrepreneurs discover their unique rhythm, guiding them to a sense of greater creativity, intuition, and aliveness.
As a speaker and workshop facilitator, I work with innovative teams and organisations, who are ready to discover a whole new way of working and creating by aligning with the cyclical rhythms of nature.
I’m at home in Tāhuna, Queenstown, where I lead my online wellbeing practice and consult to award-winning wellness retreat centre Aro Hā. I regularly travel to Europe for work and to connect to my roots in the South of Germany.
When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me somewhere in nature: exploring one of Aotearoa’s many scenic walks or foraging for seasonal foods.
