about ME

Hello! I’m Detlef, a life coach specializing in navigating life’s transitions, relationships, and fitness goals. With my extensive experience, I analyze situations, identify obstacles, and guide clients to overcome them.

What sets me apart is my determination to stay focused during difficult situations. Having moved to a new country after 40 years in my previous one, I understand the importance of staying positive during change. I can help you stay confident and focused during your own transitions.

I’m passionate about fitness and can create achievable plans to help you stay on track. Additionally, I offer a “Walk&Talk” program for clients in the San Gabriel Valley , harnessing the power of nature to clear your mind and foster positivity. I’m also an expert in nutrition, assisting you in eating healthier.

My experiences in relationships have given me valuable insights. I can help you avoid mistakes and keep your relationship interesting.

As a life coach, I believe in the power of meditation and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Meditation cultivates mindfulness, reducing stress and improving mental health. DBT equips you with coping skills and emotional regulation techniques for tough times.

Please note that I’m not a licensed therapist, but incorporating DBT and meditation techniques in my coaching can effectively help you achieve your goals. I tailor these techniques to your individual needs and support you in implementing them in daily life.

I’m an honest and open coach, working with you to set achievable goals. My direct approach may be challenging, but my honesty and openness foster trust.

If you’re going through a transition, seeking fitness and health improvements, or need help with relationships, I’m the perfect coach. With my experience, analytical mind, and unwavering determination, I’ll help you achieve your goals and stay focused.
