Meet Anja

With more than 20 years of coaching experience and a background in finance, parenting, and reinvention, I guide people from uncertainty to clarity.

Whether you’re launching into adulthood or seeking a new direction in midlife, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence, joy and purpose.

Let's Talk!

My Story

I’ve reinvented my life many times—across countries, careers, and challenges.

I know what it’s like to long for change, to feel restless, or to wonder what’s next. That’s why I believe so deeply in fresh starts and second (or third!) acts.

Ready to Reinvent you?
  • Born in Germany, now rooted in Shaker Heights, Ohio
  • Lived in Germany, France, and the U.S.
  • Happily married for 30+ years; proud mom of three grown kids in their twenties
  • Lifelong learner-I’ve read a book a week for over 25 years
  • Masters in Art History and Archaeology
  • Professional Certified Coach (PCC) certified by the International Coaching Federation
  • Author, speaker, and founder of FORWARD Life Coaching
  • Background in finance (licensed stockbroker), parent education (certified instructor of Parent Effectiveness Training), grief work (Reiki master), and meditation (meditation instructor)

I’ve helped hundreds find clarity, confidence, and bold new direction.

No matter where you are in life, it’s not too late, too early, or too far behind. Every transition holds the potential for growth and meaning.

My coaching blends structure, deep listening, and practical tools—so you can move forward with strong support and more joy.

If you’re looking for a trusted partner on your journey, I’d love to help you take the next step.
