"When I started working with Chantal in 2023, I was five months pregnant. I was so anxious that I wouldn’t be a good mum and that everything would overwhelm me.
At the same time, I was someone who wanted to do everything on my own but struggled to make my own decisions. I avoided difficult conversations, postponed decisions and often needed permission or reassurance from someone else before doing what I actually wanted.

We worked on my addiction to sweets and binge-watching, and for the first time, I felt truly connected to myself and my child. We also worked on my tendency to avoid decisions and difficult conversations.
Chantal helped me learn to face the discomfort, make decisions and take action instead of constantly postponing things. After our 1:1 work, I joined one of her group programs, which became a huge source of support after giving birth and facing all the challenges of becoming a first-time mum. My biggest struggle at that time was that I knew I could always ask for help, but I didn’t. I was doing everything on my own.

When my marriage became more and more difficult, I joined another program about true love. I hoped I could understand how love works, what I was doing wrong and what I could do to make my marriage better. But the truth is, with Chantal’s help, I realized there was nothing I could do to fix it on my own. If only one person in a relationship wants to grow, it simply doesn’t work. I made a painful but long-overdue decision and left my husband with my six-month-old daughter. I realized that enough was enough and that I was worth more than the way he treated me.

After the breakup, I struggled even more. I moved back into my childhood bedroom at my parents’ house and was confronted with who they really were. My whole world and everything I believed a family should look like fell apart. I was completely overwhelmed. I barely left the house, and it took me more than three months before I started going out again, meeting new people and connecting with other mums.
During that time, Chantal was always by my side. Slowly, I started learning how to ask for help without immediately feeling guilty or like I was a burden.
She even went the extra mile and picked up me and my daughter so I could attend my first trauma-healing retreat because I was so scared of what my family would say. At that time, making my own decisions without someone else’s permission was incredibly difficult for me.

At the beginning of 2025, I started my Trauma Healer Certification with Chantal as my trainer. That whole year was crazy. I worked through my birth trauma, changed my relationship with my family and started doing things alone with my little girl that I would never have trusted myself to do before.
Through my work with Chantal, I gained so much courage, self-worth, self-respect and a certain kind of “bitch energy” that I finally made the biggest decision of my life.

Despite all my family’s fears, I sold my “safe” apartment in Germany and started traveling with my toddler. I finished my Trauma Healer Certification and immediately started working with my first clients.

I flew to Tenerife for two weeks to start my journey. Even then, I had another 1:1 with Chantal, and I’m so glad I did. She helped me say “fuck you” to my fear — and I booked a one-way ticket to Dubai. When I arrived after more than 20 hours of traveling and only two hours of sleep, Chantal was there at the airport to personally welcome me.
Within just ten weeks of being in Dubai, I had my own apartment, had officially emigrated, got my driver’s license, started two new hobbies, made new friends and enrolled my daughter in nursery.
But the biggest success isn’t just that I became a single mum living in Dubai. It’s who I became along the way.
Today, I can ask for help and actually accept it. I can hire a cleaner or a nanny without thinking that it makes me a bad mum. I make decisions so much faster. I don’t spend forever thinking about every possible outcome anymore — I make a decision and take action. I can have difficult conversations instead of avoiding them because I’m scared of what might happen afterwards.

I enjoy spending time on my own. I don’t need to know exactly what is going to happen in the future before taking my next step. I control much less in my life, and I also stopped trying to control my daughter’s behaviour. I can simply let her be a child.

I’ve also learned how to recognize and change addictive behaviours much faster. Things that used to control me no longer have the same power over me.
But probably one of the biggest changes is that I finally feel like an adult who can handle her own life. Even in my thirties, I used to run to my mum whenever something happened or I had to make a decision. Today, I trust myself. I can make my own decisions, deal with the consequences and figure things out without needing someone else’s permission.

The funny thing is that today, as a single mum in another country, I have much more responsibility than I did when I first met Chantal. But I no longer believe I have to carry all of it alone.

None of this would have been possible without Chantal by my side over the last three years. She supported me, challenged me and gave me the pushes I needed to wake up and start living the life I actually wanted. She was incredibly patient with me, even when I chose to take another loop through suffering instead of making the decision I already knew I needed to make.

Chantal helped me understand what it means to have standards in life, to trust myself and to allow myself to want more. She held my hand when I needed it, gave me the kicks up the ass I needed when I was stuck and never tried to make my decisions for me. She helped me learn how to trust myself enough to make them on my own.

And that’s also what makes Chantal different for me. She doesn’t just do her job. She genuinely wants the best for her clients and acts in their best interest. I never felt like I was just another client or that her support ended when a session was over. She truly cared about my growth, even when that meant patiently waiting for me to be ready, challenging me when I needed it or going the extra mile to support me.

After more than three years of working with her, I can say that Chantal hasn’t just supported me through changing my life. She helped me become the woman I am today — a woman who trusts herself enough to create the life I actually want.
