Hi, I'm Merle
Before I became a mom, I imagined a perfect family life.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) everything turned out differently with the birth of my daughter: I was severely overwhelmed with an emotional high need baby and her needs, with very little sleep and finding myself as a new mom.
Mom of 2 children (*2019, *2022),
Mentor, parent coach & trauma informed yoga teacher and traveling around the world & to myself
I sacrificed myself to the point of depression and only then did I finally get the support I needed to heal.
I learned a lot about trauma and old wounds that I - like so many - unconsciously passed on to my child who is neurodivergent with PDA (which I didnt know at that point).
I learned what self-care and real connection means.
I learned to accept myself- with all my flaws.
I learned to be the mindful mom I wanted to be- even in my stressful everyday life, how to regulate my emotions and co-regulate my child and who I really am (well, I'm still learning on that everyday).
We aligned ourselves as a family with our most important values:
contentment, health, freedom and went on a journey through the world and to ourselves.
Trauma sensitivity, yoga and shadow work particularly helped me to experience a completely different (mom) life - more relaxed, lighter and healing.
Therefore, I decided to leave my job as a dentist and take a different path:
I became a 500 hours certified yoga & meditation teacher, life coach and founded YinMama.
Now I´m guiding parents online and offline in groups and 1:1 to reconnect with themselves, to regulate their nervous system and navigate healing in body, mind & soul to finally break the cycle of generational trauma.
It is particularly important to me to anchor the knowledge of trauma not only in the mind, but also in the body, so that we can move from the theory of trauma-sensitivity, attachment-oriented parenting to its implementation of feeling safety.
Therefore I´m using different techniques, such as
-
Somatic Experiencing (after Peter Levine),
-
Breathwork (certified breathwork teacher),
-
Family constellations (certified family constellateur)
-
Trauma informed yoga & breathwork
-
TRE (Trauma Release Exercises)
-
and more mindfulness and somatic approaches.
My work is inspired by Gabor Mate, Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, Stephen Porges and Brenee Brown.
