My 30-year journey to health and vitality
When I left my job in the financial world in 1992, many people thought I was crazy. “You’re leaving a secure career for… Yoga?”
But I felt this irresistible inner call. Something was missing in the lives of many successful people around me – despite impressive careers, they seemed exhausted, unfulfilled, disconnected from themselves. I asked myself: *How can you improve your mental health and feel real joy in life despite success?
My journey took me through India, Japan and Southeast Asia, where I learned from masters who practiced wisdom teachings that have endured for thousands of years. Not from books, but through direct experience, I understood that the greatest challenge of our time is not productivity, but the ability to consciously direct and improve our energy and, above all, our mental health.
The irony? The principles I discovered in remote ashrams and dojos solved the very problems I had been struggling with in the business world: mental overload, physical exhaustion, lack of presence.
Over three decades, I developed my Smiling Wisdom 4-pillar system, which today helps many people to improve their mental health:
– Mental clarity: techniques for focus and decision-making under pressure
– Movement & posture: body intelligence for energy and charisma
– Cell health: optimizing the biological basis of performance
– Regeneration: deep recovery for sustainable peak performance
What makes this approach unique? It combines timeless Eastern wisdom with neuroscientific findings – and works for busy people with minimal time investment. You can improve your mental health and gain more energy and zest for life in the long term.
My vision is not for everyone to become a yogi. It’s that people and teams can develop their mental strength and holistic well-being without having to give up their professional life – unlike me back then.
What has helped you to improve your mental health in stressful times? And what practices would you like to integrate into your everyday life but don’t yet manage to do so?
Do you also feel an inner call?
I am happy to support you in putting this path into practice – individually, suitable for everyday use and with joy.
