soften into your self
Deep down, you know who you are and what you want… (yes, really).
In my The True YOU live program, you’ll gently free yourself from restrictive roles, stress spirals, and people-pleasing, and reconnect with YOURSELF—without toxic self-optimization, pressure to make a quantum leap, or astrological stereotyping.
It's time to be your true Self— no matter what others say.
Does that sound like you?
✓ On the outside, you’re the perfect mom, a top-notch businesswoman, an understanding friend, and a loving yogini, but on the inside, you feel empty, numb, and overwhelmed.
✓ You wonder what’s wrong with you, because your life just doesn’t feel right anymore: you feel like an outsider among your friends, and everything feels too confining, too stressful, too much.
✓ You really want to finally set some boundaries and do “your own thing”—if only you knew what you really want, who you are, and why you’re getting in your own way.
What if your true Self, isn’t your best self, and you can loosen the grip…
We are in a period of transition, change, upheaval, and renewal—both individually and collectively.
You’ve probably been working hard on yourself over the past few years—letting go, healing over and over again. But now you feel that things are getting serious. You feel that your current life has become too restrictive.
You no longer want to—or are able to—conform to other people’s rules and expectations or force yourself into societal roles. You no longer want to abandon yourself, deny who you are, or shut yourself off out of fear of rejection.
But there’s also your uncertainty, confusion, and feeling of being overwhelmed. What’s the next step? What do you really want…?
These self-doubts aren’t your fault: We live in a society that trains women from a young age to meet expectations, to conform, to downplay their importance, to serve selflessly, to perform, to produce, to consume…
What if you're already more "ready" than you think…?
It’s time to take your fear by the hand, gently liberate yourself from your chains, and reconnect with your body wisdom and intuition—which are waiting for you beneath layers of stress and doubt.
It’s time to meet you where you are—after years of change, transformation, and upheaval.
It’s time to embrace your true Self—and let go of the struggle to become your “best,” most self-optimized, most productive, and most socially respected self.
It's not easy to follow your true needs in this world, but it is possible.
You may not be able to change the systems of our unhealthy society, but you can transform and (re)create your life so that it suits YOU.
Imagine...
You sense what you truly want, follow your body’s wisdom and intuition, and say yes or no with confidence and self-assurance .
You have a lifestyle and daily routine that suits you: you’re finally starting your creative business, moving to the place where your soul belongs or taking more time for yourself.
Even when challenges and conflicts arise, you feel confident: you can manage your fears, channel your emotions, and find your way.
Introducing
The True YOU
A 6-month live program in a small group of like-minded women, designed to gently and holistically free you from (subconscious) fears and unnatural conditioning, reconnect you with your body wisdom, and help you embody your true Self.
Imagine feeling confident enough to finally listen to the needs of your body and soul—instead of always trying to please everyone else.
Unleash and embody your true self…
Astrology
Use the 12 astrological archetypes (Aries through Pisces) to gain clarity about the different aspects of your personality, your true needs, and your conditioning.
Soma
(Re-)connect to your body through somatic healing, find peace and security within yourself, and follow your inner wisdom instead of letting others confuse you.
Cycles
Let the natural course of the sun through the signs of the zodiac guide you on your journey of self-discovery, and shed light on all aspects of yourself and areas of your life.
Here's What's Inside
LIVE SESSIONS
We’ll meet every two weeks in a relaxed setting for guidance, discussion, and somatic practices. Each of the 12 live sessions will focus on one of the astrological archetypes and the themes associated with it—within you, your body, your soul, and all areas of your life.
1:1 Soul & Soma Session
In a one-on-one session with me (Verena), we’ll delve deeper into the program’s content—in a personalized, individual way that’s 100% tailored to your needs. This might involve using Somatic Experiencing® to release fears or gaining new perspectives on yourself through Evolutionary Astrology.
Guest Mentoring Sessions
In two guest mentoring sessions, you’ll have even more time and space to integrate, connect with your feelings, and find your true Self. Anne Thorand will guide you back to your natural (breathing) flow in a slow breathing session, and Anna Sophie Köchl will help you relax deeply and simply be yourself through sound healing.
Astro Resources
Through an extensive library of videos, meditations, mood boards, playlists, and journaling prompts on the 12 astrological archetypes, you’ll get to know your true Self—at your own pace and guaranteed to be free of overly intellectual astrological jargon or stereotypical thinking.
Somatic practices
Simple exercises based on Somatic Experiencing® help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, recognize automatic fear responses, and feel safe enough to embody your true Self and stand up for yourself.
community
We may all be on our own paths, but we can support, inspire, and empower one another along the way! In the private Telegram chat, you can connect with other participants between live classes, make new friends, and get feedback from me (Verena).

"For me, the combination of astrology and somatics is pure magic! Verena’s guidance is deep, loving, clear, and empowering. She always treats me as an equal and never patronizes me. I felt supported, seen, and challenged all at once—exactly what I needed to give birth to my true Self."

"I love how Verena combines astrology, personal development, somatic exercises, and trauma awareness in The True YOU. During the live sessions, Verena created a wonderful space filled with respect, appreciation, and mutual inspiration. I was able to be myself and had the space to grow! Through the somatic exercises, I finally learned to reconnect with myself and my body. I’ve recognized old patterns and can now move beyond them. Verena has a wonderful sense of what’s needed in the moment."

"Before I took part in The True YOU, I had a strong longing for change and self-expression, but I felt stuck and torn between old patterns, the pressure of expectations, and my desire to truly be myself. Today, I stand much more clearly, powerfully, and authentically in my life. Through the program, I’ve learned to recognize and embody my uniqueness. And I’ve formed so many deep friendships with other participants."

"The True YOU helped me stop constantly conforming to others' wishes and instead start paying attention to myself, recognizing what I need, and standing up for my own needs. Through the program, I’ve become more loving toward myself and no longer judge myself when I don’t ‘function’ like others. I accept and value myself; I’ve learned to love my gentleness and to feel and nurture my passion…”

Meet your facilitator
Hi! I'm Verena...
Just a few years ago, I was living what seemed like a perfect life—glamorous, global, and go-go-go. But beneath the surface, I was surviving on four hours of sleep, drinking gallons of coffee, and feeling lost, burned out, and disconnected from my body and soul. What followed was a slow, sacred process of remembrance, gentle self-liberation, and a return to my true Self.
Evolutionary Astrology and Somatic Experiencing® were important tools in this process: Astrology helped me become aware of my patterns, different aspects of my personality, and my needs. Through Somatic Experiencing®, I connected with my body, understood my stress and anxiety reactions, began to regulate my nervous system, and found (enough) inner security to increasingly and more often follow MY needs (rather than societal rules or the expectations of others).
I developed The True YOU to share what has helped me and continues to help me: astrology, somatic healing, loving support, community, and enough time and space for integration and simply BEING…
Of course , there are other ways to free yourself and find your way back to who you truly are…
You could also...
• You can work even harder on your mindset, repeat affirmations, and think positive thoughts… and get frustrated that you can’t seem to put them into practice.
• You can ask AI about your true self and have it analyze your planets, numbers, and channels… and still feel isolated, alone, and overwhelmed.
• Of course, you could also sign up for a quick online course or a large group program… and never actually feel seen, heard, or receive any real support.

What results would you like to see?
I can't and won't promise or guarantee any specific results, because I don't know your background, your mindset, or how your nervous system works.
But... I believe in your power to transform and heal. You are a self-reliant woman, and healing lies within you. I am "only" the one who supports and guides you in (re)discovering your truth, freeing yourself from inner and outer shackles, and creating a life that feels like a full-body-and-soul-yes!
From the first round of the program in 2024, I know that The True YOU can be a powerful, life-changing program. It can be an important, significant step or a starting point for a new sense of self.
I can also speak from personal experience that it is possible to move from burnout, feeling overwhelmed, and depression to joy, grounding, and alignment, and to feel “at one with yourself” again.
Still… The True YOU is “just” a six-month group program—not a magic wand. I don’t promise specific results with any of my offerings!

The 12 astrological archetypes, from Aries to Pisces, are almost synonymous with the 12 signs of the zodiac, but in addition to the signs, they also include the corresponding houses and planets. For example, the Taurus archetype includes the zodiac sign Taurus + the 2nd house + Venus.
If you're already confused, don't worry!
The program isn't about learning astrology or understanding the nitty-gritty details of your birth chart.
In The True YOU, we use the 12 astrological archetypes as a powerful tool to get to know ourselves better—including our various personality traits, inner aspects, and (often conflicting) needs. Exploring these archetypes also helps bring clarity to subconscious conditioning and imposed rules, allowing you to sense even more clearly what your authentic truth actually is.
The 12 astrological archetypes also cover all areas of life and themes that you experience as a human being on planet Earth—and through which you can learn, grow, and heal.
In the program, we explore the 12 archetypes in alignment with the sun (and full moon), so that, for example, during the Taurus season (April, May), we focus on Taurus and Scorpio.
Important: The True YOU is free from overly intellectual astrological jargon or stereotypical astrological thinking that tries to pigeonhole you into your sun sign!
-
Learning astrology is not the goal or focus of The True YOU. Nor is reading a birth chart.
However, with the help of the 12 astrological archetypes, you’ll learn more about yourself. The materials include 12 videos, meditations, and journaling prompts that help you experience the themes associated with each zodiac sign or archetype.
It is NOT a requirement for the program that you have any prior knowledge of astrology or know your birth chart.All you need is an open mind toward different archetypes and/or astrology.
Important: The True YOU is free from overly intellectual astrological jargon or stereotypical astrological thinking that tries to pigeonhole you into your sun sign!

The somatic exercises in the program are based on Somatic Experiencing®, a method I am currently training in and getting certified for. Learn more about my training.
Official definition of Somatic Experiencing®:
SE™ aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies and nervous systems. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us let go, recover, and become more resilient. It is a body-oriented therapeutic model used in various professions and professional contexts. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine.
Here's my version:
Somatic experiencing® helps you find and strengthen an inner sense of (relative) security and anchor yourself in the here and now, enabling you to hold and release fears, stress, and trauma. You become aware of unconscious, automatic protective responses of your nervous system, giving you more freedom of action, agency, self-understanding and self-compassion.
-
You have plenty of flexibility to tailor the program to your needs, capabilities, energy levels, life circumstances, and daily routine.
I recommend setting aside about 60–90 minutes per week for the program (for the biweekly live sessions and the archetype materials).
If you have more time, there is a diverse selection of additional materials available to you.
If you don't have much time right now and just want to stay with the bare minimum, that's no problem. You can always come back to additional content, such as meditations or journaling prompts, later on and at your own pace!
-
No.
This program is not a substitute for trauma therapy, psychotherapy, somatic therapy, or any other form of therapy. I am not a therapist. Participation is at your own risk.
However, the program can be a great addition if you are currently in therapy or have been in therapy. If you have any doubts, please talk to your therapist and/or contact me.
