My passion

  • Daniela loves to travel, from the mountains to the sea, from paragliding to diving, from climbing volcanoes to ice bathing. She especially enjoys returning to her “second home,” Japan, where she lived for two years and worked as an editor at NHK, Japan’s international broadcaster in Tokyo.
  • Great passion: neuroscience and neuroplasticity

Everything I do is underpinned by a deep love for the human experience in all its facets, a genuine curiosity for truly listening and continuous learning, and a passion for supporting people and organisations in their growth and development. My goal is to open windows in minds for new insights and perspectives and to strengthen people’s ability to act with self-efficacy and self-regulation – especially, though not only, in times of crisis.
