My Approach

I trust the body.

The body doesn’t lie.

I can be direct and honest (part of my German heritage), challenge or comfort my client.

I am not scared of anger or other emotions commonly associated as “negative” feelings. I allow my clients to yell, stomp their feet or cry.

I will help you to slow down, go inward or push you to take the next scary step - depending on your needs and goals. Creative exploration, role play, inclusion of sound, movement and poetry may be part of a session with me. In short: I might ask you to dance.

I want to empower my clients to live meaningful lives full of self-expression and self-leadership.

This can lead me to offer one of the following methods:

• Body work/Somatic awareness/movement and breath work

• Family Constellations

• Internal Family Systems (IFS), adapted by Guthrie Sayens for Coaches

• Strategic planning of action steps

• Visioning the future

If you welcome your inner parts instead of making them hide, if you embody your values, show your authentic self, you are ready to live the life that wants to live inside you. A purpose-driven, loving life, full of joy and self-acceptance that enables you to tackle the hard times better and to celebrate the accomplishments and gifts of life more fully.

Who do I work with?

I offer coaching for individuals, couples, families and groups.

I work with “women who want it all”:

• Do you want a career, your own family, a fullfilling relationship and creative expression in your life - but feel criticized, slowed down by society, your family or an inner voice?

• Did you give up on wanting things for yourself - do you have a “broken wanter”?

• Do you have difficulties asserting yourself at work, especially with male colleagues and bosses?

• Are you ready to look at the power dynamics at home?

• Do you want to live an embodied life with abundant ways of self-expression and intimicy?

I work with women who Have an anger issue:

• Do you find it difficult to access your anger?

• When you want to be loud, do you feel like you have no voice?

• Do you feel overwhelmed by your anger?

• Would you like to understand where your anger comes from and what role it plays in your life?

• Do you sometimes think “if only I was a man”?

• Are you ready to explore your internalized sexism?

I work with couples who want to look at their relationship as equals:

• Are you ready to look into your power dynamics?

• Are you longing for a relationship where both partners are worth the same, respected the same, where responsibilities are divided equally?

• Are you facing trust issues?

• Are you seeking a vibrant intimicy?

• Do you need support for a respectful, fair separation?

I work with families who

• need help with their communication,

• want support around gender identity or the sexual orientation of a family member

• are expierencing difficulties with shifting roles within the family system, as children become teenagers or parents separate, as jobs or incomes change, or as responsibilities have to shift due to illness or loss.

My clients will want to look deep inside and will not be afraid to long for purpose and bliss.

How does coaching with Margrit work?

Coaching is done by telephone or video call, weekly or bi-weekly 50 minute sessions. To create profound changes in your life, I ask for a six-month commitment. Coaching calls should be made from a place where you can close the door and be yourself. An office works, as long as you will not be interrupted and you can feel safe. Please do not call from a car or café, or other environments where you may be easily distracted.

Typically, the client comes with one topic they want to work on for each session. A successful session leads to desired changes, and making lasting changes is work. Understanding and shaking up old habits and limiting beliefs can be confusing, and sometimes even painful. I will be by your side to go through these shifts. As your coach, I cannot do the work for you; I will support you to do your work.

Your goals are your motivation - it is your life that you want to be more fulfilled and meaningful.
