Von Überforderung zu innerer Ruhe: Wie die mindbreak Methode entstand

Ich bin Lea – Hypnosetherapeutin, Spezialistin für das Nervensystem und die Gründerin der mindbreak Methode.

Ich helfe Menschen, die zu viel denken, zu viel fühlen oder zu viel leisten. Menschen, deren Nervensystem nie ganz zur Ruhe kommt – die funktionieren, statt zu leben.

Gemeinsam finden wir Wege, den Geist zu beruhigen, emotionale Überforderung loszulassen und wieder Verbindung zu sich selbst zu spüren – ohne Burnout, spirituelles Bypassing oder Leistungsdruck. Durch eine einzigartige Kombination aus Hypnose bei Angst, Unterbewusstseinsarbeit und Nervensystemregulation begleite ich Menschen zurück zu Vertrauen, Sanftheit und innerer Führung.

Burnout, Stress & das Gedankenkarussell

Ich hatte diese Werkzeuge nicht immer. Meine Geschichte beginnt mit Burnout, Überforderung und einem Nervensystem, das sich nie sicher fühlte. Nach außen sah alles „okay“ aus – doch innerlich war ich zersplittert, erschöpft und leer. Bis ich lernte, dass Heilung anders aussehen kann.

Der Unfall, der alles veränderte

Ich habe überlebt.

Ich war in einem Autounfall – einer von denen, bei denen man beim Anblick des Wracks denkt: Das hätte nicht gut ausgehen dürfen.

Aber ich tat es. Ich wachte benommen in einem Graben auf, mein Auto um einen Baum gewickelt.
Und weißt du, was mein erster Gedanke war?

„Meine Mutter wird mich umbringen.“
Nicht: „Ich hätte sterben können.“
Nicht: „Was bedeutet das Leben?“

Nein – nur dieser eine banale, menschliche Gedanke.

Heute kann ich darüber lachen. Aber damals war es mehr als ein Schockmoment – es war ein Weckruf.

Der Beginn meines Weges zu Nervensystemheilung, Selbstvertrauen und der Hypnosearbeit mit Trauma und emotionaler Resilienz.

Ich wusste:
Es muss mehr geben als bloß zu überleben.
Ich war nicht hier, um zu funktionieren – ich war hier, um wirklich zu leben.

Indem ich mich dem Chaos stellte, fand ich meinen eigenen Rhythmus – einen Moment nach dem anderen.

Als mich das Leben in die Knie zwang, wusste ich, dass es noch mehr gibt.

Auf dieser Reise habe ich gelernt, zu fühlen, zu leben und jede Emotion anzunehmen.

Jedes Lachen, jeder Moment – ein Beweis dafür, dass das Leben sowohl schön als auch unerwartet sein kann.

Von der Kapitulation zur Stärke – jeder Schritt ist Teil meiner Geschichte.

Auf meiner wilden Reise habe ich gelernt, dass Verletzlichkeit meine Stärke ist.

Searching for Something More

Meine Reise um die Welt

🌍 Germany → Portland, Oregon
✈️ Traveled across the US
☀️ Moved to Sydney, Australia – and lived there for 1.5 years
🔄 Returned to Germany, back to „normal life“

I thought traveling would give me answers. And in some ways, it did. I met incredible people, witnessed breathtaking landscapes, and immersed myself in completely different ways of thinking, living, and being. Every place left a mark on me. Every step taught me something new.

But the truth?

No matter where I went, I was still carrying the same struggles.
Anxiety. Overthinking. A nervous system that never really felt safe.
I could cross oceans, reinvent myself, try on new lives—but I couldn’t outrun the internal noise.

You can leave your home, your job, even your identity behind…
…but if you don’t heal what’s inside you, it follows you everywhere.

Back in Germany, I found myself in a “normal” job in film production, telling myself,
“This is how life is supposed to be.”
But deep down, I was searching for something more.

I didn’t have the tools I have now. I didn’t yet know how to calm my mind or regulate my nervous system.
But I knew I couldn’t keep living disconnected from myself.

That quiet knowing became the start of everything.

Die Entdeckung der Hypnose und Arbeit mit dem Nervensystem

The Breaking Point

For years, I moved through life with an underlying sense of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. I wasn’t fully present. I was pushing through — but not in a way that supported nervous system healing or true emotional resilience. It was more like I was forcing myself into a mold that wasn’t made for me. I worked. And worked. And worked—deadlines, stress, long hours, pushing myself to the limit. Ignoring the fact that I felt deeply unfulfilled. Thinking that maybe this time, this career, this place would be „it.“ I pushed aside the voice that whispered, ‘This isn’t it.’ And then my world shifted beneath my feet, reacted, and collided.

What Burnout Really Looked Like for Me

At 23, I burned out. I was exhausted, frustrated, and depressed.
I lacked confidence, felt trapped, and carried a deep fear of failing.
I kept following the „normal“ path, even though my soul was screaming NO
I had the worst migraine of my life. I lost my ability to speak. The words wouldn’t come out. I couldn’t move my leg anymore.

My body was literally shutting down. It was like my entire system was rejecting the life I was forcing myself into. I went to therapy. But even that made me question „this is it?“. This is supposed to help me? There must be more. That was my second wake-up call. And this time? I listened.

The Turning Point

Learning Hypnosis, Nervous System Tools & Functional Medicine

I knew I needed a complete reset, a total shift, so I left everything behind and went to Asia.

🌏 A new culture. A place so different from what I knew, it forced me to see life from a whole new perspective.
🙏 A new way of living. Simplicity, slowness, awareness.
🌀 A new way of healing. Thai massage, movement, breathwork, and ultimately — hypnosis for anxiety and nervous system regulation.

I immersed myself in Eastern healing techniques, studying:
– Thai Massage & Traditional Medicine – Learning how emotions store in the body.
– Functional Medicine – Understanding how everything is connected—body, mind, and spirit.
– Neuroscience & Movement – The science behind our habits, emotions, and subconscious programming.
– Hypnosis & Subconscious Work – The missing piece that would change everything.

Was ich durch Langsamkeit gelernt habe

My deeper healing came through hypnosis for anxiety — a grounded, accessible tool that helped me calm emotional overwhelm and regulate my nervous system from the inside out.

Hypnosis wasn’t just another technique. It was the shift. For the first time, I truly saw how powerful the subconscious mind is.

Through hypnosis, I finally understood:

My thoughts weren’t facts.
My subconscious was running old programs — ones that weren’t mine.
I had the power to rewire my mind, my patterns, and my emotions.
Hypnosis didn’t fix me — because I wasn’t broken. But it gave me the tools to regulate my nervous system, release fear, and change the way I experienced my life.
I stopped feeling like a victim of my emotions. I allowed them in.
I learned to let go of old fears, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs.
I built a solid inner foundation — one that not even fear, setbacks, or stress could shake.

And the best part?

That foundation is still there every day — helping me return to calm, clarity, and trust.

The Journey Continues

Von Fernweh zu innerer Weisheit

For the next six years, I traveled while working online — spending long months in Asia, soaking in new cultures, and learning more about myself than I ever imagined.
I thought I was chasing adventure. But really, I was learning how to come home to myself.

In 2019, just before the world changed, I got an apartment in Hamburg. It felt like the “smart move.” For two years, I split my time between exploring and nesting — learning to balance wanderlust with stillness.

Then Covid hit.

The world stopped, and so did I. But something inside me had already shifted.

Even when I couldn’t move freely, I realized:

Healing doesn’t only happen on the other side of the world.
Sometimes, it begins right where you are.
That year, I spent time in Costa Rica. The next year, Austria. But what really started changing wasn’t the location — it was the way I was learning to live inside my own body.
Then came an unexpected twist…

Destiny's Little Wink

Burnout, Lockdown und ein Kite – der Weg zurück zur Freiheit

It was as if the universe threw a curveball right when I thought I had it all figured out. Life in Hamburg felt “fine”—safe, familiar—but something was missing. I had created a life that looked good… but I still didn’t feel fully alive. I started to ask:

What does “home” really mean? What does it take to thrive—not just survive? After years of lockdown, I was more than ready to breathe again. A spontaneous trip to Portugal rekindled a part of me I hadn’t touched in years: I dusted off my old kitesurfing skills and felt that rush of freedom again. A brief fling with a kitesurfer (oh, the irony 🤪) reminded me:

Sometimes, joy finds you when you least expect it. And freedom? It’s a feeling—not a destination.

But my rush decision to travel after a long, quiet period during Covid meant I missed some crucial warning signs. My Hamburg apartment turned into a bit of a circus thanks to some less-than-trustworthy tenants. Suddenly, my travel plans were cut short, and I found myself back in Hamburg, frazzled and fed up.

So when a friend invited me on a kitesurf vacation to Denmark, I said yes. And then… life winked. 💫

At Drivethru Surfcamp, over one breakfast, the camp owner Alex casually asked: “So, do you want to stay?” In that hilariously unexpected moment, I thought, Why not? I packed up my life, said goodbye to Hamburg, and moved to Denmark. Three years later, I still call Denmark home. (but oh boy, little did I know at that time!). Now I run a kite and surf camp. And honestly? That one “coincidence” shaped my life more than all the perfectly planned decisions ever could.

Innere Stärke, Grenzen und Resilienz

Living in Denmark wasn’t a fairy tale — it was a full-blown rollercoaster. I was managing way more than I ever imagined: a camp, a house, guests, a team, clients… and trying to squeeze in self-care (barely 😂).

It was intense, challenging — and at times, downright overwhelming. I lost friendships — some who weren’t really friends, and others whose exits cut deep. I faced heartbreak and betrayal. But I also learned powerful lessons about emotional boundaries, the art of giving and receiving, and the importance of speaking up for my needs. I made mistakes. I pushed too hard. I ignored my nervous system until it pushed back. But underneath it all, I kept hearing the whisper:

Let go. Let others be who they are. And keep returning to who you are.

There were days I felt like I was carrying the weight of my whole life in a single suitcase. But every messy moment taught me this:
A solid inner foundation isn’t a luxury — it’s essential for healing, growth, and nervous system regulation. The truth is, the work I had done — hypnosis, nervous system support, subconscious healing — held me steady when everything else got shaky. It didn’t break me.

It built me. Because when life throws the toughest lessons at you, that foundation is what keeps yo u standing. And that is why I created mindbreak — so others don’t have to figure it out the hard way.

Every heartbreak, detour, and breakdown shaped me
into someone who can now face the world with strength, softness, and self-trust.

I Still Have Challenges

Vom Kämpfen zum Selbst-Leadership

Healing isn’t about never struggling again. It’s about knowing that you have tools and a way through — especially when the hard moments come. Yes, I still have bad days. I still face anxiety, self-doubt, and overthinking sometimes. But I don’t feel powerless anymore.

Now, I know how to:

Feel my emotions without drowning in them
Let go of what no longer serves me
Move forward from a grounded place

That’s what the mindbreak Method is built on: not just surface-level calm — but real, deep nervous system regulation, inner safety, and self-trust. It’s not about “fixing” yourself. It’s about reconnecting with who you’ve always been. And now?

I guide others through that same journey — using hypnosis for anxiety, nervous system support, and tools for sustainable transformation.

UNIFIED BY LOVE FOR LIFE AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF IT

After years of learning, unlearning, and rebuilding, I created mindbreak to bring together the exact tools that helped me feel safe in my body, steady in my mind, and at peace in my choices.

The tools that changed everything:
Hypnotherapy & Neuroscience – Rewire limiting beliefs, old patterns, and fear-based programming.
Subconscious Healing – Shift the inner blocks you didn’t even know were running the show.
Nervous System Regulation – Build emotional safety, resilience, and capacity for calm.
Self-Discovery & Inner Growth – Reconnect with your truth and live from it.

What mindbreak is here to help you do:
Let go of burnout, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
Reprogram your mind for clarity, confidence, and calm
Make choices that feel aligned — not for others, but for you

mindbreak isn’t a quick fix. It’s a gentle return to your inner foundation — so no matter what life throws at you, you know how to meet it with trust, softness, and self-leadership. Because healing isn’t about avoiding pain. It’s about learning how to move through it with nervous system support, self-awareness, and ease.
