Nadja van Uelft
I‘ve been working passionately and successfully for 22 years as a coach and trainer, as a registered alternative health practitioner in psychotherapy and as a speaker on topics around self-presentation, self-awareness, communication and leadership. My clients include DAX-listed companies and SME‘s, specialists and managers, private individuals and self-employed people.
My work is characterized by its methodological expertise, informed by deep life-experience and my empathetic approach to clients‘ need and concerns, all underpinned by the mindset of Aikido.
Born in Cologne, I grew up in the USA, Japan and Germany. My bilingual childhood on three continents moulded and trained me at an early stage to be flexible and empathetic as well as to be open to other people and different ways of thinking.
As a young person I suffered from low self-esteem and insecurity and had a heavy stutter. With determination and great effort I carved out my own path towards inner strength and stable self-confidence.
The Japanese martial art Aikido, in which I have been training regularly since 2002, is an integral part of my life. With pride I carry a 3rd Dan in Aikido. In my travels through Asia I‘ve been able to dive deeper into the spirituality of the respective countries.
I am very happy to be living once again in the city of my birth, Cologne. Yoga and meditation have been part of my daily routine for decades now, with travel continuing to provide me with valuable insights into other ways of living and being.
Coach & Trainer with Heart and Soul.
