Transformation, Integration, Healing
I am offering private sessions for individuals, as well as couples communication and family mediation. This inner work comprises honest and compassionate dialog, including about the often difficult-to-discuss subjects of sharing one's sexuality and money, and is supported and often guided by loving spirit guides. My clients learn to understand themselves more deeply, remember this current incarnation's purpose, and generally feel good about themselves. They discover and change dynamics within their subconscious which affect them and their life, as well as allow their body and soul to release stress naturally and return to balance. This provides fertile grounds for maturation. Through this increased self-awareness, one develops constructive and empowering relationships with oneself and others, resulting in increased trust in oneself, self-determination, confidence, and freedom.

From the Inside Out:
A Holistic Approach to Economic Freedom
Money Mastery From Within addresses the conflicts underlying clients' relationship to money and one another in regards to money, business, and related topics. Often, people have come to me for bookkeeping. They expressed the need for help in tracking their financial flow. Mostly there were not only practical and logistical issues, but moreover, there were severe conceptual, emotional, or spiritual issues in the way of successful bookkeeping and money management. Therefore I designed a holistic approach, with Marshall Rosenberg's 4-step model of Nonviolent Communication, as the foundation. There are shamanistic methods, Gestalt Therapy and Inner Alchemy with the help of compassionate spirit guides, and the methodical understanding of Deborah Price's psychologically analyzed and very compassionate model of "Money Coaching," a structured model of transforming dust into peace. I am a by her certified Master Money Coach.
I continue to offer consulting about the structural, including practical as well as your internal emotional and spiritual aspects of financial decisions, transactions, and record keeping. For practical bookkeeping, I refer you. I take pride in a group of associates of honest, intelligent, and reliable people, who share my personal professional values of shared humanity, contribution, and higher purpose of all.
Individual Coaching
Bring understanding and compassion to your relationship with money, create choice and emotional clarity, and build financial confidence.
Conflict about money arises from underlying emotional and spiritual dynamics. Money Coaching is designed to bring light to the structures beneath our financial lives, helping us move forward with awareness, confidence, and choice. We will look at your history with money and self-esteem, survival strategies adopted from parents and/or primary caregivers, and your hard and soft talents and gifts in order to transform your financial life so that your divine purpose can support you financially, and so that your finances will rightly support your divine purpose.Teaching and ConsultingGet help setting up your bookkeeping, learn basic accounting principles, understand the software you're using, and learn how to track your money efficiently and clearly.
Financial Mediation
For business partners, families, and other groups who have to make decisions that serve the needs of all involved.
Understand each others' positions and develop win-win-win solutions.
Through conflict resolution facilitation and training, we will clarify the intentions and needs that lie at the core of all financial decisions. In this way, you can learn to see eye to eye - and heart to heart - with each other, so that financial or business decisions will work for everyone affected.
"Thank you for your incredible mediation last Friday. Seems like months ago at this point! Really in awe of your insight and ability to touch, feel and sense."
Teaching and Consulting
Get help setting up your bookkeeping, learn basic accounting principles, understand the software you're using, and learn how to track your money efficiently and clearly.
I enjoy teaching accounting principles, because I love how much sense it all makes -- through the right lens! I myself had been doing my own bookkeeping since 2001, and remember trying to make a simple bookkeeping program do things I felt needed to happen for accurate accounting, but it wouldn't comply. This left me confused and unsure how to be effective. I wanted clear and solid accounting procedures, not sloppy numbers! To my great relief, upon studying accounting principles, I found that such procedures are indeed in existence. To this day, I am grateful for the double entry accounting system for giving me the clarity and practicality I wanted for tracking the flow of money. This clarity has since been an integral part of the way I support my clients: I like helping people understand what's going on, how things are "accounted for", and why, like energy in the universe, nothing can really disappear from your accounting. There is always somewhere money came from, and somewhere it has gone; something that became money in your accounts, and something else that money leaving your accounts has become. Nothing is ever lost. And we do want to be in touch with these changes and transmutations.
I have been mystically inclined ever since I can remember. Training in music and theater since early childhood provided me with a balanced education of both intellectual as well as artistic pursuits. During German High School (Gymnasium) years, I studied Philosophy, Latin, and Ancient Greek. Due to challenges during childhood and youth, I was forced to embark on a journey of self-healing by the age of 17.
Before moving to the US, I studied Psychology, Spanish/French/Danish and Middle German, and Anthropology at the University of Freiburg and thereafter at the Freie Universitaet in Berlin, until I moved to California in 1999 where I pursued my passion for composition. After graduating from the California Institute of the Arts with an MFA in Music and Composition focused on New Media, I wanted to balance my creative and intuitive background with solid business skills. I discovered a strong affinity with bookkeeping, and at the time decided to make it my bread-and-butter profession so I could pursue my independent art without financial worry. I'm not sure if my bookkeeping talent emerged from being a music composer, because I'm German and therefore thorough, reliable, and detail-orientated by culture, or because my mother had taken care of the administration for my father's master painting business and her knowledge had trickled into my blood. Or maybe I was a scribe in ancient times, because the whole accounting system feels very natural, intelligent, and spiritually accurate to me. And so I have owned my own independent holistic financial consulting firm since 2007.

I will refer to a brilliant investment advisor, as well as that you can reliably choose your own based on your values and preferences as you have discovered in our work, or you might want to be your own investment advisor.

Alchemical Hypnosis/Alchemical Hypnotherapy
Instruction and Practical Application to Access your Subconscious Mind
Alchemical Hypnotherapy specializes in accessing Inner Guide. We heal deep-seated issues through conscious communication with our subconscious mind in a deep yet alert and consciously interactive state of trance. Alchemical Hypnotherapy includes the following:
Inner Guides: We establish life-long relationships with loving spirit guides.
Emotional Clearing: We release old emotional charges, and build new inner resources for powerful transformation, healing, and peace. drawing on our relationships with loving and wise spirit parents, healers, and inner partners. It is Gestalt Therapy in trance, voice dialog, and accessing shamanic helper spirits. This is deep inner work, done on and off the couch, through being in touch with hidden emotions that are usually veiled by our day-to-day consciousness.
Past Life Regression: Manipulate our karma through understanding the karmic hinges of your current reality: recognize and transform recurring patterns of bad luck and pain, retrieve talents and skills from your previous incarnations, uncover and change karmic contracts with people in your life whom you experience as difficult (this may include a spirit guide or a negative entity)
Somatic Healing: discover and resolve the underlying spiritual and emotional causes of your physical challenges.
"Nora helped me to resolve an encounter that was troubling me. The unhappy encounter aroused old issues and feelings of abandonment. I was angry and it all felt very complicated and hurtful. Nora very skillfully helped me to sort out and resolve these feelings. She was caring and insightful; her intelligence and humor helped me to gain perspective. For psychological and emotional help and healing, I recommend Nora highly."
Pat Mitchell Hypnotherapist, 2015
"Nora is a very gifted intuitive being, deeply rooted in fairness, honesty and integrity. She made me feel so safe when giving me a hypnosis session, that I was able to open up and move through my issues on such a deep level, never felt by me before. Nora is someone with whom you can have a deep experience, trust and feel safe along the path. She seriously knows her stuff!" - Sera L., Portland, 11/13/2014

Gestalt Therapy
befriend yourself and walk your path in dignity and beauty
"Every moment is new, every moment is different. Accepting who you are, you are ready to go wherever you want to go." - Sid Gershenson, Gestalt Therapist
With each moment, we have changed. Therefore knowing who-we-are each new moment is crucial for empowered living. Instead of living from the memory of who-we-think we are, we live from instantaneous self-knowledge. Inner work facilitates self-knowledge through the healing of old wounds, and through recognizing our real feelings and needs today, each moment anew. In the process of self-knowledge, we release naturally what has completed its usability, and discover the resources that are appropriate for who-we-have-become now.
Gestalt Therapy is about creating awareness through self-observation and exploration: A process for getting to know and befriend yourself. Rather than trying to make yourself fit into an expected, pre-designed form of living, Gestalt is about creating the form of your life according to your inner self. You commit to being who you discover yourself to be, and surrender previous agendas for the benefit of your inner truth. Healing is a common side effect of Gestalt work, inspired by a lifestyle in agreement with the truth of your becoming.

Nonviolent Communication
Because your words impact your world.
Nonviolent Communication
The 4-step model of Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg (www.cnvc.org)
Nonviolent Communication (NVC), A Language of Life, is applied compassion. The model, when used with discipline, will lead a practitioner into the heart of the matter, even when being upset or judgmental. Underlying this "grammar of life" is the understanding that everything someone does, says, or believes serves as a strategy to meet vital needs, an attempt to be true to the essential life force that flows through all of us.
However, we are not always in touch with the needs we mean to meet through our actions and attitudes. Struggle and conflict within ourselves or with one another arise when our solutions meet one set of needs while "un-meeting" another. Emotional and mental upsets are the result of -- often unconscious -- unmet needs.
Recognizing our true needs allows us to meet them much more easily, leading to increased well-being and joy. We know then to choose actions and attitudes based on being clear about the needs we intend to meet. The methodology of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) will unearth such underlying needs. Should, upon inquiry involving this methodology, a need be found "unmeetable" within our given circumstance, we allow ourselves to mourn and release our attachment to its fulfillment. In this way, we return to our inner freedom and heart-felt peace.
I feel like a thousand pound weight has been removed from my chest and after our talk on Sat, I've finally been able to sleep again. ️️️
Thank you!!

Shamanic Practices
Shamanic Practices Spiritual journeys into non-ordinary reality are involved in Shamanic Practices. The practitioner traces their client's spirit body and locates loss of power in order to retrieve it. This is often done through power animal or soul part retrieval, but can happen in other ways, as well. The practice of retrieving lost soul parts is one of several ways of reconnecting disassociated parts of the psyche/soul to one's conscious awareness. Lost soul aspects hold much of one's power, but can also carry the painful emotional memory of the event that triggered their leaving. They hide until one is ready to feel and release the emotional charge, and re-integrate the power and qualities the soul part holds. The practitioner journeys into your energy body and tracks the soul part/s that is/are are ready to return. Not always are they ready: sometimes the practitioner returns with information on what you need to do before the part/s is/are ready to come back and stay with you. After the part is brought back into your conscious awareness, you will also need to do "homework" in order to help yourself and the retrieved soul part to integrate and move forward together. This includes dialoguing with the soul part in meditation, creating art, journaling, and/or doing your own journeys to re-befriend this aspect of yourself.
Chi Nei Tsang / Inner Alchemy Arts
Chi Nei Tsang Based on the five elements of Taoist healing, Chi Nei Tsang provides gentle manipulation of the organs through abdominal touch. This helps the body process and digest life's experiences. Chi Nei Tsang tends to be deeply relaxing. Emotional awareness can be part of the process. The practitioner supports clients in feeling and releasing emotions lodged in the organs. Through the practitioner's touch, the client's body becomes aware of its holding patterns, and makes effortless adjustments toward healing.
