HANNAH

Driven by a deep awareness of global injustices, I am determined to reshape the systems that perpetuate them. That's why I co-founded it's thyme to co-create Hope Hubs worldwide - new regenerative structures that replace extractive ones in the long run. I do this with all my heart and joy, which I believe are the two greatest (re)sources for change. My vision is a world that provides abundant resources, safety, and joy to its people, living in peaceful coexistence with one another and our more-than-human world. I strongly believe in the concept of regeneration as a path toward that future.

My passion is showing individuals and teams how to apply nature's intelligence to human leadership. As our community organizer, head of strategy, and PR, I hold and develop the long-term vision and structure for it's thyme.

Originally from Münster, Germany, I am now based in Galicia, Spain, where I am building the first Hope Hub, as well as in Lisbon, Portugal, where my partner in both love and crime has his roots.

People have called me the most caring yet dangerous person, haha. Why dangerous? Because I don’t accept any excuses for not pursuing our biggest dreams and deepest longings. I can spot the victim mindset from afar and won’t hesitate to shake someone out of it. I co-founded it's thyme to create my own joyful working environment and support people to build their personal dream lives.

Over the past years, my favorite research topic has been learning how to release outdated patterns from my mind and body and work with my nervous system to take the necessary steps toward my own dream: a regenerative life for myself and others. Rooted in my own experience, I support people through somatic and Earth-based practices to deepen their connection to themselves and our Earth—expressing themselves in their own unique, rock’n’roll ways. 

I am based in Galicia, creating the first Hope Hub and building a home that is safe and beautiful for myself and the it's thyme community. 

I have been an activist from an early age, standing up for human rights, peace, and sustainability for all! Through my activism, I’ve learned how to organize, strategize, and communicate effectively. I’m known for my clear and calm approach—especially in chaotic times—bringing the kind of organizational skills that feel like an anchor in a stormy sea.

Beyond envisioning future intercontinental youth exchanges and projects, I focus on organizational and community development at it's thyme.

Hannah and I met at an anti-corruption workshop three years ago, stayed in touch ever since, and quickly realized how well our values and visions for the world align. In 2022, we decided to join forces at it's thyme. I’m currently based in Canada, pursuing my Master’s degree in Business and Management. 

I found my way to it's thyme while searching for a community and a project that tackles systemic change in a realistic way. I love proving to the world that dreamers don’t just dream—we get shit done! And I’d like to think I’m one of them.

Have you discovered us through our beautiful YouTube episodes or Instagram reels? Then you’ve already seen my work! As an artist, storyteller, and filmmaker, I go out of my way to capture the perfect shot. Beyond filming, I support it's thyme with design, communication, and my hands-on mindset. For the next three years, I’ll be based in Germany, diving into a new passion: becoming a carpenter!  I found my way to it's thyme while searching for a community and a project that tackles systemic change in a realistic way. I love proving to the world that dreamers don’t just dream—we get shit done! And I’d like to think I’m one of them.

As a coach, my goal is to support individuals, teams, and organizations with empathy and a deep sense of care. People are at the heart of my work. I firmly believe that every person—and therefore every organization—holds untapped potential. My role is to make these hidden treasures visible and help bring them to life in an honest, appreciative, and scientifically grounded way. My approach is based on the principles of Humanistic Psychology and Regenerative Leadership. Regenerative thinking and action offer a new way to navigate today’s challenges—on both small and large scales—while creating space for meaningful and sustainable development.

My background is in International Business, while I have always worked in the field of education alongside it. Today, I combine these two worlds to guide people and organizations on their journey. I live and work in Münster.
