Mentoring
for radical self-acceptance
- 1:1 Coaching for artists
and creatives
From stuckness and imposter syndrom
to self-trust and freedom
in your expression
Maybe this is familiar to you:
You've always been one of the extraordinary ones - you're an artist or inventor, you have ideas that no one has had before.
Maybe you’re neurodivergent. Maybe you’re hypersensitive.
Maybe you just never have been able to identify with what is "normal".You often feel misunderstood - and often incredibly lonely.
You are aware of your inner processes and tend to think things apart. You are smart and reflective -
and yet life repeatedly feels draining and overwhelming.
You have a strong external image. You are regularly admired for what you do and how you are.
But you rarely really feel seen.
You experience creative blocks.
Sometimes it just flows. And regularly you sit in front of a white sheet of paper, your notebook, your canvas, your instrument, - and in your head: nothing.
You are longing for rest.
You try to fill your hunger for life with distractions, too much work, drugs, sex, shopping, eating, or partying... but you don't feel satisfied afterwards- you are left feeling empty and exhausted.
You want to finally ‘arrive’ somewhere.
and you’re aiming high. You are afraid of breaking with your big visions or going crazy. And you feel that you don't belong anywhere in your own way, in this system.
Yes, Yes, Yes?
Welcome, stranger!
You have extraordinary ideas.
You want to change the world with your art.
You are tired of telling yourself to adapt.
You want to be accepted for who you are.
Above all, you feel that there is so much more inside you that you keep holding back.
And it wants to come out.
Right?
I feel you
Now imagine this scenario:
You are no longer afraid of your own greatness and complexity.
You’re not holding yourself back anymore, not in your private life, in your relationships, and even more so, not in your creative expression.
You no longer need the superficial validation from outside to feel safe.
You found your happy place in your creativity.
You can get yourself out of your thought carousel.
No more what-if scenarios and sleepless nights because of what you said and did last week.
You pay attention to your needs and take good care of yourself.
Instead of buffering by smoking weed or shopping to feel better about yourself, you get a good night’s rest and take time off before you need it.
You are no longer afraid of uncomfortable feelings like your anger, your shame, your fear or your jealousy.
Instead- you accept them, know how to embrace them and to process them through your artistic practice.
You are no longer afraid of finding out what you are "really" like.
You now know deep down you are NOT a terrible person, but powerful and adorable.
Let’s find out, why.
What my clients say:
Búi, 32
Before we started working I really needed a transformation.
I had broken up with my ex boyfriend and was constantly stressed about things that I needed to do, but couldn't muster up the energy to get done.
I felt too afraid to express my truth and trust my thoughts and instincts. Stressed a lot of the time about finances and bureaucracy, drifting off into fictive future scenarios of a better life a lot of the time, not feeling rested when getting up in the morning. I was having a long lasting creative blockade.
After we finished working I feel closer to something which I can only describe as being in myself now, and acting out myself in an unapologetic way.
Through the guidance I got from you regarding radical acceptance, sitting with sensations, and challenging untrue thoughts attached to them, I feel like I can deal with my life better and feel more free. Through working with you I learned to establish more self-love, more honesty and an increase of quality in my relationships and my relationship to myself.
I found the capability to act where I otherwise would be stuck before.And most of all un-blocking the creative blockade I had as a choreographer for a long time.
Matthias, 32
Rivka's coaching has given me tremendous impetus and energy in my life.
With a new perspective and with the help of her exercises, I am getting further away from my disorientation and closer to self-acceptance.
Rivka herself is a wonderful reflective coach with whom I could open up a lot without ever feeling uncomfortable. I always felt very accepted.
I can 100% recommend Rivka's coaching to everyone!
Janine, 42
The coaching with Rivka helped me a lot to understand my newly discovered scanner personality. I was able to get clarity about all my many ideas and exciting projects and to better classify them. Previously, these ideas and thoughts caused an enormous amount of stress - during the coaching I was able to better understand and dissolve these structures. As a result, I even managed to keep a heart project - which I actually wanted to give up because of all the stress - going and even develop it further! Rivka showed me how beautiful, exciting and stress-free versatility can be. A thousand thanks for that!
Ulla, 53
I like the mindful way in which you ask questions and hold the space for my answers and thought processes. This has made many things much clearer to me and has put me in a position to make important decisions in my life. Thank you for that!
Anko, 30
Through the work with you I got to know a new side of myself that I didn't know before, and through this I also opened up a new perspective on the world. It's hard to say what made you do that, but I felt like I was allowed to be who I wanted to be, and you won't judge me for that. You have a big heart and a great sense of humor. Thank you so much.
This is how we’ll work together:
Put out feelers:
During a 30-minute initial meeting, we get to know each other.
We look at where you are right now and where you would like to go.
This is where you get to know a first impression of my way of coaching.
If you feel this is exactly what you want right now - let's get started.
Get in touch:
We start with your engine, your feelings.
In the first part of the process you learn a whole new way of dealing with your feelings.
You learn how connecting with your feelings affects EVERY area of your life. You learn to reconnect WITH YOU, and to listen to your inner voice .
You learn to feel, and accept, all your feelings, shame, fear, anger, joy.
Free thinking:
What is driving your feelings? What happens in the millisecond before a sadness, before an emotional outburst?
We now give space to your thoughts.
What thoughts are sitting up there in the driver's seat, setting the tone?
Here, too, we go into depth. Every,
Take the lead:
You are now free to decide how you want to feel in the future
and how you want to think in the future.
You no longer identify with your thoughts, know how to get yourself out of head rushes and be the best support for yourself.
Based on that, you design your (maybe new) reality of life.
Live Freedom:
You are now at a point of inner freedom that has already impacted all areas of your life.
You know what you are capable of and how to stand behind yourself at all times. You are learning how to create the reality you dream of. No matter how big, no matter how utopian it seems to you right now.
Hi, I'm Rivka.
Life coach and mentor for radical self-acceptance, passionate philosophy student, and artist.
Neurodivergent, hypersensitive, synaesthetic.
My qualifications:
- currently studying B.A. in philosophy at Freie Universität Berlin

Maybe you still have questions?
1. How do I know this is really right for me?
Before we start working, we get to know each other in an initial meeting. There you can see if you feel that I am the right one for you. If you decide to work with me, I will be there for you 100% throughout the entire process.
2. I'm scared!
Wonderful! And you're reading this. So there's another voice that wants change. I promise you, you don't have to be afraid. We'll do everything at your pace and in a way that makes you feel comfortable.
3. How do the sessions take place?
Right now, the sessions take place over Zoom from your home.
4. What do I need to prepare for the sessions?
Besides a stable internet connection and a computer with a camera, most importantly! a desire for the process and a willingness to change. We get as deep into the work as you are willing to go.
5. What methods do you work with?
I get inspired by what you bring to the table. I ask many questions and question. Together we practice a new way of looking at the world, I am by your side. I also work with 'Thought Work', a technique from the Life Coach School, which analytically breaks down every situation into its aspects, making it easy and understandable to change.
6. Is this about Higher Self or soul transmigration?
Nope, more about Buddha and philosophy. An essential part of my work is practicing to 'free-think' yourself. This includes letting go of ideas like a 'better version' of yourself, questioning aspirations for recognition or moral evaluations of situations and actions.
I work quite grounded and with what is there, in the moment we see each other.
Although, or maybe because I spend time in the psychospiritual scene as a young person, I really only work with techniques that logically everyone understands and for which you do not have to interpret anything. It is important to me that you understand everything I say.
My aim is to teach you how to look at yourself and the world around you without judgment, or entitlement. Together, we will create a loving perspective of yourself and the world you live in. If you can do that, you can do anything else.
