Gita, Veronika Wagner, born in Germany in the sixties, she grew up in a middle-class family grappling with the fallout of the Holocaust and World War II—experiences that made her question, from an early age, what being human truly means.

A life-changing event in her early twenties led her to study Zen meditation, Sufism, body-, breath-, and energy work, Bioenergetics, and Gestalt therapy, and to devote her life to healing, embodied spirituality, and presence.

She is very grateful for the 1980s, when extensive travels took her to England, North Africa, the US, and India. During those years she began training in Counseling, Somatic Therapy, Family Dynamics, and Developmental Psychology.
She has worked with these modalities as a Coach and Counselor since 1990.

For more than 30 years, she has been teaching Somatic Developmental Trauma Healing, corporate Emotional Intelligence seminars, and residential Women’s, Attachment, and Resilience Retreats. Her approach is customized, existential, and informed by Somatic Experiencing, developmental trauma healing, systemic family constellations, InterPersonal NeuroBiology, Gestalt, Jungian archetypes, shadow work, metaphysics, meditation, and essence work. She is a Senior Leader for PathRetreats USA.

Her home base is Sedona, AZ, where she loves hiking and spending time in nature, alone or with friends. She offers wholistic coaching, trainings, and retreats in the US and Europe.
