Here's what my clients say about the 1:1 business coaching:
"The coaching with Merle is more than highly recommended. She met me exactly where I was with her empathetic approach and helped me reconnect with and strengthen my intuition and self-reflection. In just the right moments, her goal-oriented style put me back on track, while always allowing me to work out the results on my own.
Dear Merle, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your empathetic approach and the 3 months of guidance on my journey back to myself."
Svea S. – Tax clerk
"Merle is the perfect partner during the startup phase! The coaching with her constantly challenged and motivated me. At the same time, she always gently supported me when I didn't know which way to turn. I am incredibly grateful to Merle for all her energy and the knowledge she shared with me, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone for coaching! Ideas that were initially just loose in my head took shape with her. With so much heart, she showed me the next steps, gave me the necessary push when needed, and always took me seriously.
Apart from that, she is a wonderful personality, with whom it’s simply a joy to talk and brainstorm ideas. Thank you, Merle, for helping me believe in myself!"
Jennifer E. – Shiatsu Expert
"Merle has an incredibly interesting and inspiring personality. She coaches in an extremely professional and goal-oriented way, so that after a short time, I already had a clear vision of my (professional) future. Thank you for the great coaching!"
Christiane V. – Biologist
"I thank Merle for her valuable coaching regarding my self-employment. She pushed me at the right moments and helped me overcome my fears with her relaxed and direct approach. With her many years of experience, I felt in the best hands, and I highly recommend her business coaching."
Lisa L. – Design Science Researcher
"The coaching with Merle has triggered many processes within me, and I now find myself tackling things I previously thought I wasn't capable of. Merle has approached me individually and consistently offered different perspectives, which led to many aha moments for me."
Linda E. – Sustainability Managerin
"In your coaching, you are very empathetic to the needs of your clients and always seem to have the right answer in every situation.
You seem to know exactly what I need right now. Both in business and especially in personal development. You help me dive deep within myself and get to know myself better."
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
"The lovely Merle and her coaching were a real eye-opener for me. I always felt supported by her and was able to say when I needed something – whether it was mindset work or discussing finances. From the very first session, I gained so many insights about myself and what is truly important to me in my life.
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 encouraged me to stand up for myself and truly discover what my heart’s business is and to go after it. I can highly recommend Merle's coaching to anyone who needs support in finding their direction for their passion. Every session helped me grow both professionally and personally, and I'm so excited to see where all of this will lead."
Tina G. – Aerial Arts Trainer
"I felt very comfortable during the coaching with Merle. She wonderfully supported me as I started my self-employment and addressed my personal challenges with great care. I can highly recommend her to everyone."
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.

"Is this coaching suitable for me?"
In the 1:1 business coaching, you get me as your sparring partner to create a business that not only sounds good in theory, but develops intuitively and organically, feeling deeply aligned with who you are.
You’re right for the 1:1 business coaching if you…
- feel like you’re always pretending professionally and wish for work that is meaningful and passionate, aligned with your values.
- want to create a life "out of the box" and want to manifest this not just privately, but also professionally.
- ...you have difficulty finding your focus due to your diverse interests and would love to combine them all.
- want to become self-employed but are overthinking things and don’t know which direction is truly right for you.
- have already started a business but are unhappy with it. You sense that something isn’t quite right, but you can’t pinpoint what it is.

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 just wanted to figure out what makes me joy and what my values and needs are. I never planned for this to turn into my own business – it developed over time. Because everything you change within yourself eventually shows up on the outside.
Back then, I would have wished for an intuitive coach by my side, someone who could walk this journey with me and help me gain clarity and stay focused on my path. I’ve learned how important it is to move from the head back to the heart and trust your intuition. That’s exactly at 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.
With the perfect combination of both worlds and a touch of “out-of-the-box” thinking, you’ll gain clarity and focus to find and manifest your true calling.
Your path to an intuitive business.

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.
