Here's what my clients say about the 1:1 business coaching:
“Das Coaching mit Merle ist mehr als nur empfehlenswert. Sie hat mich mit ihrer einfühlsamen Art direkt dort abgeholt, wo ich gerade stand und hat mir dabei geholfen die eigene Intuition und Reflexion wieder rauszukitzeln und noch weiter zu festigen. In genau den richtigen Momenten hat Sie mich mit ihrer zielorientierten Art wieder auf den Weg gelegt und mich das Ergebnis aber stets selber rausarbeiten lassen.
Liebe Merle, ich danke dir von ganzem Herzen für deine einfühlsame Art und die 3 monatige Hilfestellung auf meinem Weg weiter zu mir selbst.”
Svea S. – Tax clerk
“Merle ist die perfekte Partnerin in der Gründungsphase! Das Coaching bei ihr hat mich immer wieder gefordert und angetrieben. Zugleich hat sie mich immer wieder behutsam aufgefangen, wenn ich nicht wusste, wo mir der Kopf stand. Ich bin Merle für all ihre Energie und das ganze Wissen, dass sie mir geschenkt hat unglaublich dankbar und kann sie jeder/m für ein Coaching empfehlen! Ideen die zunächst nur lose in meinem Kopf waren, haben mit ihr Form bekommen. Mit ganz viel Herz hat sie mir die nächsten Schritte aufgezeigt, mir auch mal den nötigen Schubs gegeben und mich immer ernst genommen.
Davon mal abgesehen ist sie eine tolle Persönlichkeit, mit der es einfach richtig Spass macht zu sprechen und Ideen zu brainstormen. Ich danke dir Merle, dass du mir hilfst an mich zu glauben!”
Jennifer E. – Shiatsu Expert
“Merle besitzt eine wahnsinnig interessante und inspirierende Persönlichkeit. Sie coached äußerst professionell und zielorientiert, so dass ich bereits nach kurzer Zeit einen klaren Blick auf meine (berufliche) Zukunft hatte. Vielen Dank für das tolle Coaching!”
Christiane V. – Biologist
“Ich danke Merle für ihr wertvolles Coaching hinsichtlich meiner Selbständigkeit. Sie hat mich oft an den richtigen Stellen gepusht und mir durch ihre lockere und direkte Art geholfen meine Ängste zu überwinden. Durch die langjährige Erfahrung die Merle mitbringt, fühlt man sich bei ihr in besten Händen und ich kann ihr Business Coaching wärmstens empfehlen.”
Lisa L. – Design Science Researcher
“Das Coaching mit Merle hat viele Prozesse in mir ausgelöst und ich finde mich mittlerweile bei Dingen wieder, die ich mir zuvor nicht zugetraut habe. Merle ist dabei individuell auf mich eingegangen und hat mir immer wieder verschiedene Blickwinkel ermöglicht welche viele aha-Momente für mich ausgelöst haben.”
Linda E. – Sustainability Managerin
“In deinem Coaching gehst du sehr einfühlsam auf die Bedürfnisse deiner Kunden ein und hast gefühlt in jeder Situation die richtige Antwort parat.
Du scheinst genau zu wissen was ich gerade brauche. Sowohl im Business aber ganz besonders auch in der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung. Du hilfst mir meine tief in mich rein zu fühlen und mich selbst besser kennen zu lernen.”
Martin – Web Developer
“Some months ago I realized that something in my life had to be changed but I didn´t know where to start. Thanks to the recommendation of a friend I found Merle, I immediately felt a connection with her and I must say that Coaching with Merle was the best thing that could have happened to me in this new chapter of my life. With her professionalism and empathy but also her ability to challenge me on the right topics, she supported me in confirming what is important in my life not only professionally but also personally. Thanks to her advice I started to really see my potential and all the opportunities that I didn´t see before. I would definitely recommend Merle to anyone who is looking to develop their professional and personal life. Thanks a lot dear Merle!”
Annalisa A. – Senior Lead
“Die liebe Merle und ihr Coaching war ein absoluter Augenöffner für mich. Ich hab mich bei ihr immer abgeholt gefühlt und in der Lage zu sagen, wann ich was brauche – ob ich grad Mindsetarbeit brauche oder doch mal über Finanzen reden will. Ich habe ab der ersten Stunde so viele Erkenntnisse über mich selbst gewonnen und was mir in meinem Leben wichtig ist.
Thanks to Merle, I was able to find much better focus to incorporate all my passions into my business, and all of that without putting pressure on myself. I was amazed when I first met Merle, and she reminded me that sometimes you just have to be brave and see what happens. I realized that, even though I knew how to start a business, I needed help figuring out how to integrate all my passions.
Merle hat mich ermutigt für mich selbst einzustehen und wirklich rauszufinden, was mein Herzensbusiness ist und dafür loszugehen. Ich kann das Coaching von der Merle nur wärmsten empfehlen für alle, die Support brauchen um ihre Richtung für ihr Herzensthema zu finden. Jedes Coaching hat mir so geholfen mich beruflich und persönlich weiterzubringen und ich bin einfach so gespannt, wo das alles noch hinführt.”
Tina G. – Aerial Arts Trainer
“Ich habe mich im Coaching bei Merle sehr wohlgefühlt. Sie hat mich wunderbar beim Start in meine Selbstständigkeit unterstützt und ist genau auf meine persönlichen Herausforderungen eingegangen. Kann ich nur jedem wärmstens empfehlen.”
Carolin S. – Selflove Coach
Here's what you can expect in the 1:1 business coaching:
Recognize values & gain clarity
The first step focuses on your personal development. With tools tailored specifically to you, such as Ikigai, vision journeys, belief work, overcoming limitations, and emotional work, you will get to know yourself, which will become the foundation for your business. I meet you exactly where you are right now, so you can recognize your true values and find your clarity.
Define direction & establish concept
The foundation is set, and now we focus on creating the roadmap for your business: Who do you want to work with? What will your offerings and pricing look like? What limitations still need to be overcome regarding self-worth and money? – Together, we will establish the framework so you can move forward and start your business in the next step.
Implement & optimize business
Instead of just working theoretically on your business plans, we implement the processes in real life right away. In the third step, we start acquiring customers. We take action, experiment, refine, and establish what works. Together, we shape the business in your unique direction, so it feels true to you in every detail, and you have a clear vision for the future.
These 3 steps provide a general framework, but throughout the entire process, you and your needs remain the focus. We will tailor the next steps to your pace and where you currently stand. At the same time, we will move forward with implementation to turn a theoretical idea into a realistic and authentic business.
For those with diverse interests

Here’s what my clients say:
“Die Arbeit mit Merle war lebensverändernd. Sie ist kein 0815 Coach.”
“Ich fühle mich vollkommender und bereit, Herausforderungen anzunehmen. Das Gute ist, dass Merle manchmal auch total pragmatisch sein kann. Ich brauche jemanden, der mich in die Realität zurückbringt und gleichzeitig die Mindset-Arbeit mit mir macht. Deshalb kann ich dir Zusammenarbeit nur weiterempfehlen.”
Tina Georgi

“Sie hat mich dazu ermutigt, meinen Weg zu gehen und mich selbständig zu machen.”
“Ohne sie hätte ich es nicht geschafft. Wir haben persönliche Dinge und negative Glaubenssätze aufgelöst, mir wieder mehr Selbstvertrauen eingehaucht und meine Passion erweckt, in die Selbständigkeit zu starten. Das haben wir mit einer Mischung aus aktuellen Themen und demlangfristigen Ziel gemeistert.”
Martin Dörpinghaus

“Mit Merle zusammen zu arbeiten ist immer super schön und effektiv.”
“Sie beißt sich manchmal wie ein Terrier in gewisse Themen rein, die ich selber noch nicht klar für mich habe und sorgt so für einen lieb gemeinten Tritt in den Allerwertesten, um einen so wieder nach vorne zu katapultieren. Sie gibt einem richtig gute Hausaufgaben auf und bringt einen damit innerhalb kürzester Zeit super weiter.”
Johanna

“Du hast mir geholfen, dass ich Klarheit für meine eigene Message und meinen eigenen Weg finde.”
“Ich finde deine Art super. Du hast genauso einen inneren Drive wie ich. Ich mache gerne, ich setze gerne um und genau diesen Vibe und diese Energie hast du auch. Das war für mich einfach total hilfreich und hat Spaß gemacht. Du hast mir auch einen tollen Rahmen gehalten, damit ich mich gut öffnen konnte und meinen Raum hatte.”
Caro
Selflove Coach
Hey, I’m Merle.
And a few years ago, I took the leap from being an employee to starting my own business as an intuitive business coach.
At first, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery to identify my values and gain a deeper understanding of myself. From this, an entrepreneurial path emerged, and I became the intuitive business coach I once wished I had by my side.
Someone who walks the path with me, helps me find clarity, and supports me in staying focused on my journey. I have learned how important it is to shift from the mind back into feeling and to trust my own intuition. This is exactly the core of my coaching work.
With my background in business management, I bring all the strategic and economic knowledge you need for a successful business launch. At the same time, we work energetically and emotionally to develop your unique vision, break through limitations, and find your direction.
Mit dem perfekten Zusammenspiel aus beiden Welten und einer Portion “Out of the box”-Denken bekommst du Klarheit und Fokus, damit du deine persönliche Berufung findest und verwirklichst.
Your path to an intuitive business.

How can I book a first call with you?
You can book an appointment directly through my website or send me a message on Instagram. I’ll get in touch with you to arrange a suitable date.
What does high sensitivity mean?
If you have an increased sensitivity to sensory stimuli, emotions, and moods. Highly sensitive persons (HSP) perceive subtle details in their environment more intensely and often react more strongly to external stimuli than others. This can affect various areas, including:
1. Sensory Perceptions: Sounds, light, smells.
2. Emotional Empathy: Highly sensitive people (HSP) often feel the emotions or energies of others more intensely.
3. Deep Thinking: They frequently analyze situations and their consequences in detail and reflect a lot.
4. Need for Retreat: Due to their sensitivity, many HSPs need time alone to recover from stimuli and recharge their energy.
How do I know if I am multitalented?
If you have skills and talents in various fields or disciplines—not just excelling in one specific ability or subject but being good in multiple areas or showing great interest in them.
Versatility can manifest in different aspects, such as:
1. Artistic talent: A person may be skilled in both painting and music.
2. Academic abilities: Someone may perform well in subjects like mathematics, languages, and natural sciences.
3. Technical and practical skills: A multitalented person could have strong craftsmanship skills while also being talented in technology or design.
4. Social skills: Multitalented people may also be able to communicate well with different groups of people and feel comfortable in social situations.
Versatility is often seen as a positive trait because it promotes flexibility and adaptability, enabling a person to succeed in different contexts. However, it can also be overwhelming if you don’t know how to integrate all your abilities—and that’s exactly what you’ll learn here.
What happens if I unexpectedly cannot attend a session?
If you need to reschedule a session, I kindly ask that you notify me at least 24 hours in advance so that we can arrange an alternative date together.
What happens during a coaching session?
During a coaching session, we’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and progress. I’ll ask targeted questions to stimulate your thinking. Together, we’ll work on personal development using various tools, and based on this, we’ll develop strategies to achieve your goals. My coaching process is intuitive—I keep the overall framework and intention we define at the beginning in mind and guide you individually through the process. In each session, I’ll tune into what truly matters for you.
How can I ensure that coaching works for me?
The success of coaching depends on your willingness to openly and honestly discuss your feelings, goals, and challenges. I’ll support you by holding space for you and offering new perspectives through different tools and my “out-of-the-box thinking.” You set the pace, and it’s up to you to implement the steps we discuss and integrate the desired changes into your life. I’ll give you the courage you need and provide support as we walk your unique path together.
Can I participate in coaching even if I’m unsure about starting my own business?
Yes, we can explore this together. Every person is unique, and we’ll find your individual path.
Is coaching only for highly sensitive people?
No, anyone can participate in my coaching program. Everyone discovers in coaching how they truly function.
How can I contact you if I have further questions?
You can contact me anytime via the contact form or through my Instagram page. I look forward to answering your questions.
What is the difference between therapy and coaching?
Coaching is highly efficient and focuses on personal and professional development, goal setting, and implementing changes in life. While coaching is future-oriented and aims to unlock potential, therapy often deals with treating mental illnesses and addressing emotional or psychological issues from the past. Coaching can be supportive but does not replace therapeutic treatment.
