About Me

For decades, my life was marked by numerous tragedies: three suicides in my family of origin, childlessness and an exhausting adoption, divorce, the death of my ex-husband from cancer, burnout and depression, the collapse of my translation agency and dismissal without notice at a school in the french part of Switzerland.

 

The meeting with my teacher Trulshik Rinpoche - a living Buddha - in February 2011 in Kathmandu was the decisive turning point in my life. Thanks to years of inner work combined with meditation and mindfulness, I was able to get to my essence and dissolve limiting beliefs and patterns. My dismissal from a school in western Switzerland ten years later prompted me to throw all my fears overboard and start again from scratch at the age of 58. My book "Pema Tsomo - The Lotus-Born" saw the light of day.

 

My numerous trips to Nepal were of great importance, and were later followed by trips particularly to Thailand, Vietnam, India and Egypt. The intensive engagement with Eastern ideas opened up new horizons for me and made me want to become a bridge between East and West. The slogan "A Bridge between the East and the West" was born.

 

With great enthusiasm and the gift of being able to engage with people, motivate them and inspire them, I travel as a visionary, book author, speaker, meditation teacher and seminar leader - in short, as a "cultural and spiritual travel companion" - to bring people closer to my insight: "True happiness is possible - the lotus grows in the mud."
