ABOUT ME

Hi, I am Leoni Lydia

I have always been a master of extremes. First, the rebel who wouldn’t let anyone tell her what to do; then, the perfectionist who wanted to do everything right. I was convinced: if I tried hard enough, adapted enough, and shone brightly enough, then I would belong. I perfected my appearance, conformed, and gave my all to appear strong and untouchable. Yet while I radiated outwardly, it felt as if everything inside was shrouded in darkness.

In my early twenties, everything changed. An eating disorder pushed me to my limits and simultaneously set me on my path. It was the moment I paused for the first time and began to look inward.

Yoga became my first anchor. It felt like a gentle embrace, allowing me to reconnect with myself. I started reading, meditating, questioning. It was the beginning of a journey that would take me deeper than I ever thought possible.

Along the way, I encountered invaluable teachers. Some I met through books, others in silent moments during a Vipassana meditation, and yet others through transformative experiences like my yoga teacher training in India. Each step helped me let go of the old and create space for the new.

I am not here to give you answers. I am here to remind you of the truth within you – of who you have always been and always will be. Together, we will find the way back to what shines deeply within you.

The deepest transformation began when I discovered A Course in Miracles. This course showed me that what had kept me trapped was the ego. The voice of fear and separation. At the same time, it taught me to listen to the quiet, loving voice within: my Deeper Self, the Holy Spirit. It was a radical, honest, and often painful journey, but one that brought me closer and closer to my True Self.

For years, the eating disorder remained a silent companion, a reminder not to give up, to look deeper, to keep moving forward. I learned that transformation doesn’t mean becoming something new but rather letting go of everything I am not. And in that letting go, I found a new strength.

It was in the midst of my own chaos that I felt the call to become a coach. Not to fix people, because I firmly believe that none of us is broken, but to remind them that they are already whole. To walk alongside them as they release the blocks that keep them from recognizing their true selves.

It took time before I was ready to walk this path. I studied business administration, worked in the corporate world, and traveled the globe, all the while carrying this question in my heart: What is my true path in this world? I found the answer when I began my training as a Deep Transformative Coach. Since then, I’ve combined this profound, healing work with the principles of A Course in Miracles to support people who are ready to go deeper. Step by step. Layer by layer. Until they realize that everything they’ve been seeking has always been within them.

Eating Disorder

The Beginning of My Transformation

There are moments in life that either break us or lead us back to ourselves. For me, my eating disorder was exactly that: the darkest point of my life and, at the same time, the beginning of everything. For years, I had tried to fit into the image I had of myself and the world. I wanted to be perfect, to be accepted, to belong. But the harder I tried, the deeper I fell.

The eating disorder forced me to look, to stop averting my gaze, to stop running away. It became my turning point – the moment I began to question my thoughts, to explore my inner world, and to open the first small door to a new path. That path was painful, but it was also my salvation. And it shaped me into the person I am today.

Guiding Lights Back to Myself

From Byron Katie to Eckhart Tolle to A Course in Miracles (ACIM) – the teachings that have accompanied me were like beams of light in the darkness. They showed me that I am not my thoughts, that I am not the ego that had controlled my life for so long.

ACIM, in particular, changed my life. It taught me to look beyond the illusion of separation, to practice forgiveness, not as an act toward others, but as an inner liberation, and to listen to the voice of love within me. These teachings were not always easy to understand or accept. They challenged me, confronted me, and at times pushed me to my limits. But they also set me free. And to this day, they continue to guide me as signposts on my path back to my True Self.

My Spiritual Practice

The Anchor in My Daily Life

My practice is not a rigid ritual. It is a daily act of looking honestly, without judgment, without fear. It is an observation of my thoughts, feelings, and actions to consciously recognize where I have chosen the ego.

The moment we choose the Holy Spirit, our Deeper Self, we walk the path with Him. He gently leads us back to who we truly are. This process continually reminds me that I have a choice between separation and unity, fear and love.

This daily mind training, combined with meditation and the study of A Course in Miracles, helps me to see my mind more clearly and to deepen my connection with this Inner Guidance. I bring this clarity into every coaching session to create, together with you, a space where healing can occur, and truth can be experienced.

The Role of Relationships

Mirrors and Healing

Relationships are often our greatest teachers even when they push us to our limits. For a long time, they primarily mirrored my insecurities: the fear of rejection, the need for validation, the feeling of not being enough.

Over time, I came to understand that this is precisely where healing begins. Relationships show us where we still hold judgments, where we feel separate, where we diminish ourselves. They act as mirrors, not to condemn us, but to give us the opportunity to look with compassion.

Relationships invite us to practice forgiveness, to recognize the unity in others, and to remember that, in truth, we are not separate. Today, I see relationships as an opportunity to view not only others but also myself with love.

Travel, Camino de Santiago & Vanlife

Phases of Inner Reflection

They say travel changes us. For me, travel was more than just a change of scenery. It was a return to myself. Every time I left the familiar behind – whether on the Camino de Santiago, alone in Asia, or in my camper van across Europe – I discovered deeper layers of myself.

The Camino taught me to take each step with mindfulness. My van became a mobile sanctuary, a cocoon where I could detach from the roles and expectations of the world. These journeys were not an escape but a conscious act of letting go.

In the solitude of roads, forests, and unfamiliar places, I was able to shed the old and embrace the new that wanted to grow within me. There were moments of silence, of arrival, and sometimes of confronting myself. But it was precisely in these spaces of introspection that I found the freedom I had been seeking for so long. Not out there, but deep within me.

My Calling as a Coach

When I look back on my journey, I see all the steps that led me here. The challenges, the darkness, the moments of loneliness, all of it was necessary to set me on this path. It was the road back to myself. And this journey has shown me what it truly means to experience transformation.

My own journey has taught me how important it is not to walk this path alone. It takes courage to look within and to let go, but it is in this depth that true freedom lies. I am here to support you in releasing, layer by layer, everything you are not, and discovering what you have always been.

For me, coaching is not the conclusion of my journey but a new beginning. It is the space where I can pass on what I’ve learned with trust, compassion, and the deep belief that within all of us lies an infinite power to remember who we truly are.

My Calling as a Coach

My Professional Journey

Career Path

My professional journey has long been shaped by a search for what truly resonates with me. After completing my business administration studies, I gained experience in corporate life, particularly in HR and marketing. While I had many interesting opportunities, I always felt deep within that something was missing, that my true calling lay elsewhere.

This inner restlessness repeatedly brought me back to myself. To my inner work, to my travels, to the questions I could no longer ignore: What truly fulfills me? What do I want to offer the world?

With each step of my personal transformation, it became clearer that I didn’t just want to work. I wanted to support people on their own journeys. Coaching has always been a calling I felt within, and today I know: it was the path leading me to where I am now.

WHAT I KNOW DEEP WITHIN

I believe that we are all more than the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and the world around us. Beneath all the layers of fear, guilt, and doubt lies something indestructible. A light that has always been there even when we cannot see it.

I believe that healing is possible, no matter how deep the pain runs or how long we’ve been trapped in old patterns. It takes courage to look where it hurts. It takes compassion for ourselves as we shed the layers of our false self. And it takes the willingness to remember who we truly are.

I believe that we are not alone on this journey. That there is a voice within us – quiet, loving, and clear. The Holy Spirit, our Higher Self, guides us when we are willing to be led. This Voice knows the way back to our True Self, even when we cannot see the path ourselves.

I believe that forgiveness is the key. Not because we “forgive” someone else, but because we release the burden of our own judgments. Forgiveness frees us from fear, pain, and the stories that keep us small.

I believe that transformation is not a destination but a journey. A journey that takes us through valleys and dark forests but never alone. A journey where we learn to embrace our shadows, look at them with compassion, and let them go, step by step. And as we do, our true light begins to shine brighter and brighter.

I believe that we are responsible for our own healing. That our inner state shapes the outer world. And that the path to freedom is just one decision away: the decision to awaken. It is the bravest decision we can ever make. And it changes everything.
