RITUAL GUIDE & WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP MENTOR
​Ceremonies, Team Buildings & Events
​
​​​I believe that remembering ourselves as part of nature is the only path to peace - within us and on Earth. My work bridges the worlds of business and spirit, structure and intuition, ritual and real life.
Let's walk this path together.
REFERENCES & BACKGROUND
From wall to world, a path of spirit & structure.
It is my deepest wish to support every being to live in joy, gratitude and peace with themselves - so that together, we may attune to the vibration of the Earth and co-create a conscious, healthy, and connected future for our children.
​
I was born behind a wall - literally.
Raised in East Germany, I always sensed there was more beyond what I could see. At 16, a scholarship took me to the U.S., just five years after the Berlin Wall fell.
​
With over two decades of experience bridging the corporate and spiritual worlds, I bring a rare combination of structure, intuition and embodied wisdom.​
Before dedicating my life fully to ritual and ceremony, I thrived in international business and leadership - from six years as Executive Assistant to IBM’s Vice Presidents, to building Europe’s largest just-in-time working platform with Coople and co-directing Women on Board GmbH, an initiative empowering female leaders in collaboration with the University of St. Gallen.
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, Sports Science, and American/British Studies, grounding my work in both scientific understanding and cultural depth.
For nearly a decade, I’ve co-directed the Pachamama Festival in Switzerland - weaving conscious culture, music and ceremony into one of the country’s most beloved transformational nature gatherings. I am also the founder and guardian of Moondance Switzerland, a sacred 1-week ceremony rooted in the lineage of the Puerto Rican Grandmother Ana Carmona Itzpapalotl.
​
Since 2011, I have been deeply connected to the eco-village Pachamama in Costa Rica, where I have worked, studied, and immersed myself in transformative learning.
​
My current studies in Somatic Experiencing in Zurich and over 15 years of plant medicine practice further deepen my understanding of human transformation. I grew up as a competitive speed skater, which taught me discipline, focus, and endurance - qualities I now bring into every ritual and leadership process I hold.​
I am a student of life. Since a young age, I have felt a deep connection to the spirit world - guides who have accompanied me through profound discoveries, including the truth of my own roots.

Melinda guides with love and speaks with her heart always. I feel safe in her presence. I like how she stands with us and not above us. She is extremely humble and a ball of joy. Bringing a childlike essence but also holding a deep level of reverence and respect for the all. She is a weaver of beauty, peace, and love. An incredible example of what it means to be human.
