Come back of the soul
From soul to soul: I enjoy working in the special depth that is possible in 1:1 coaching. Top down and bottom up – unseen the position and the power we hold, there is a basic human right to soul integrity. A right to be heard with our passion and the deeper values we are standing for.
Both is needed, the changes coming “from below” and the changes coming “from above”. I love the smart and clever ideas of small start-ups and the private community engagement offering fast prototyping for the new. And if something can shift in a big decision maker in politics and business this is a powerful leverage for change too.
To see humanity unite around the different “missions to earth” is the process I want to be of support. To enable every single human being to have access to its deepest truth and live up to a life in soul integrity – this is my own souls mission.
Ann La-Forker
Trauma Expert, Shame researcher, process-facilitator
Ann is at home in many dimensions. The humanities scholar also worked for many years as a project manager in the business world. Today the multi-facetted bodywork psychotherapist accompanies individuals and companies with her process work Becoming Essence. She has also remained a passionate researcher.
“Spiritual growing meets grounded nervous system”. In her work, Ann combines a down to earth understanding of the world with a special access to the more subtle realities of life. All is a based on a solid and profound trauma work know-how.
Born in the shadow of post-war Germany in the DDR, she has grown a strong sense of independence. Despite the boundaries of her life context she always lived in the clear self-perception of a “global citizen”. The discovery of the influence of transgenerational trauma and collective shadows on her own life was for her the key to a liberated life. In order to make this possible for other people, she trained herself over many years to become a holistic expert across a range of sectors. Being aware of the cultural and societal frictions that come with trauma she recently launched the global initiative Integrity For Future.
Ann lives with her family in Staufen, in the very south of Germany, close to Switzerland and France. From here she runs her trauma therapeutic practice. The Becoming Essence Feel & Think Tank is the vessel for her private research and the societal projects that arise from it. She regularly publishes articles on her main research topics trauma, shame and the conditions for a life in integrity and is available as an interview partner and workshop facilitator for these topics.

educated
by life itself
My education is deeply linked into my life path – and the other way around. As life is an ongoing learning journey it seems to be a little bit artificial to just list the University degrees and the hours of trainings I accumulated.
The decisions I made that lead to it are an expression of my inner world and my changing perspectives on life. Historical backgrounds, economic realities and the colourful web of relationships and inspirational impulses shaped what was possible at a time. So many contexts play into my learning journey.
While I am giving you access to my “Curriculum Vitae” which reflects the frameworks of my learnings and the concrete skills and competencies my work is built on, I invite you to also have a look at the personal story I do share about the life path that lead to my souls mission. To combine the different realms of information in you might come closer to an understanding of my ongoing passionate search for a meaningful life – an experience I share with you and every other human being.
