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.

YES, PLEASE

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 “perfect self,” and you could stop fighting…

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 right now—after years of change, transformation, and upheaval.

It's time to embody your true Self — and let go of the struggle to be your perfect, optimized, most productive, and most socially respected self.  

I AM READY

It's not easy to follow your true needs in this world, but it is possible.

While you can't change the systems of our unhealthy society or make all pain disappear, you can (re)create your life in a way that 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 you call home, or taking more “me time.”

  • 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 Facilitators

In two guest mentoring sessions, you’ll have even more time and space to integrate, connect with your feelings, and find your way back to YOURSELF. Anne Thorand will guide you back to your natural (breathing) flow in a Slow Breathing Session, and Melissa McConnell’s Intuitive Painting Ritual will awaken your creative power.

Astro Resources

Through an extensive library of videos, meditations, mood boards, playlists, and journaling prompts based on the 12 signs of the zodiac, you’ll get to know (or rediscover) your true self—at your own pace and guaranteed to be free of overly intellectual astrological jargon or stereotypical zodiac thinking.

Somatic practices

Simple exercises based on Somatic Experiencing® help you connect with your body, regulate your nervous system, distinguish your fear from your intuition, and feel secure enough to stand up for yourself with confidence.

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).

Client Love

"The True YOU has permanently changed my life and my experience.

I am incredibly grateful to The True YOU program and Verena for this healing and transformative experience. The program not only helped me make major life decisions, such as moving to my spiritual home.

"I’ve also had new, healing experiences within the group. I felt safe and seen, and I felt comfortable opening up and engaging in conversation—something that wasn’t the case before. This has even led to wonderful friendships with people who are on the same wavelength."

-Caro

WAITING LIST

(Re)become Your True Self

Do you feel a gentle "mhh" or a full-body-yes inside you?

You no longer have to try to please everyone, grit your teeth, and feel overwhelmed. Your True YOU is already waiting for you…

I AM READY

  • "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."

    Catherine

  • "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."

    Toni

  • "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."

    Catherine

  • "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…”

    Caro

It's not enough to just change your mindset to act with confidence…

Astrology helps you develop greater soul awareness, and Somatic Experiencing® helps you become more aware of your body and the “inner workings” of your nervous system. Both strengthen your true, wise, powerful self— your True YOU—which says “no” to people-pleasing, over-functioning, and self-sacrifice.

This holistic approach to strengthening the soul, mind, body, and nervous system is what you need if you truly want to LIVE, because in my experience, that means learning to embrace pain and fear and truly feeling joy and love.

Instead of meditating your way away into 5D realms until LIFE brings you crashing down painfully, or operating in a way that leaves you no longer knowing who you are or what you want.

Meet your facilitator

Hi! I'm Verena...

Just a few years ago, I was living what seemed like a perfect life—glamorous, global, and nonstop. But beneath the surface, I was getting by on four hours of sleep, drinking liters 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).

Since 2025, following a diagnosis of rheumatism and two serious accidents, I have been learning, on an even deeper level, to embrace the pain and beauty of this LIFE without losing MYSELF in the process.

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.

FAQs

  • German and English!

    There is a German-speaking group and an English-speaking group.

    The live sessions will be held in German for the German-speaking group and in English for the English-speaking group.

    All materials are available in German for the German-speaking group and in English for the English-speaking group.

  • The True YOU will enter its next round in the spring and/or fall of 2027.

    If you'd like more information about the dates and the exact start time, join the non-binding waiting list!

  • All live sessions, including guest facilitator sessions, will be recorded and will be available as videos on the course platform no later than 48 hours afterward.

  • What results would you like to see?

    I can't and won't promise or guarantee you any specific results, because I don't know your history, your mindset, or your nervous system.

    But… I believe in your power to transform and heal. You are a self-reliant woman, and “the solutions” lie within you. I am “merely” the one who supports and guides you in (re)discovering your truth, freeing yourself from internal and external constraints, and creating a life that, little by little, feels more and more like a full-body-and-soul “yes”!

    From the first round of the 2024 program, I know that The True YOU is a powerful, life-changing program. It can be an important, big 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!

    Read the testimonials from past participants of The True YOU and trust in the power within YOU!

  • Yes and no.

    The True YOU is for anyone who identifies as a woman and/or was raised as a woman, regardless of your biological sex or sexual orientation.

    If you identify as non-binary, you are also very welcome.

    Are you a man and interested in participating? Please contact me for an alternative solution.

  • I strive to make the program's content as accessible as possible. In addition to videos, many of the materials are also available in audio format. Only the workbooks and mood boards are exclusively visual.

    All of the physical exercises can be done while sitting, standing, or lying down and do not require any special skills such as flexibility, strength, or agility.

    If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

  • Unlimited.

    If I were to switch course platforms (which I don't plan to do) or something else were to happen, you'll have plenty of time to download and save all the content.

  • There are so many different ones. Because no matter whether you’re currently facing challenges in your job, your own business, family life, relationships, career, partnerships, circle of friends, body, health, etc.—YOU are the (only) constant in all of these areas, and when you strengthen your relationship with yourself and embody your true self, you can bring about positive changes and “solutions” in many of your issues and areas of life.

  • No.

    The program does not include any features that incorporate AI.

    "The True YOU" is about being human, genuine connection, emotional intimacy, empathy, and everything that artificial intelligence cannot give us.

  • The maximum number of participants for each of the two groups (German-speaking and English-speaking) is twelve.

  • Yes.

    Members of my Soul & Soma Space and former participants in select live group programs I’ve led in the past (including The True YOU 2024) receive a discount.

    I am also awarding two scholarships to economically disadvantaged women at a significantly reduced rate in each group (German and English).

    Are you eligible for the discounts or interested in a scholarship? Write to me!

  • The 12 astrological archetypes, from Aries to Pisces, are almost synonymous with the 12 zodiac signs, 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 is not about learning astrological theory or understanding the nitty-gritty details of your birth chart.

    In *The True YOU*, we use the 12 astro-archetypes as a powerful tool to gain a better and deeper understanding of ourselves, our various personality aspects, inner parts, and (often conflicting) needs. Exploring these archetypes also helps you gain clarity about subconscious conditioning and imposed rules, so you can better sense 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 (+ Full Moon), so that, for example, during Scorpio season (October, November), we focus on Taurus and Scorpio.

    Important: The True YOU is free from overly intellectualized astrology talk or stereotypical zodiac sign thinking that puts you in boxes or tells you who you’re supposed to be.

  • Learning astrology is not the goal or focus of The True YOU. Nor is reading a birth chart.

    BUT with the help of the 12 astrological archetypes, you’ll learn more about YOURSELF. The program materials also include 12 in-depth videos, meditations, and journaling prompts that bring the themes associated with each zodiac sign/archetype to life.


    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 zodiac thinking that tries to pigeonhole you or tell you who you’re supposed to be.

  • 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 as much time, that's no problem either. You can also explore 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.

Would you like to talk in person…?

Do you still have questions, or would you like to get a better sense of who I am—Verena—and what the The True YOU program is all about? I want you to feel confident and secure in your decision-making. Book a free, no-obligation connection call and let’s talk!

LET'S TALK

Soften into self-liberation…

Be and embody your true Self!

It's not about becoming your best or highest self, but about feeling and embodying who you truly are right now—after years of change and beneath layers of self-doubt and imposed rules…

…and finally start listening to your natural needs, your intuition, and your body wisdom again!
