When it comes to an introvert introducing themselves it’s like, “AAAHHHHH—can I run away?” And yet, it’s time to use my voice for good, for my visions and the projects I have been working on for more than 20 years.
Who is Bernadette?
I grew up in a bakery in the countryside of beautiful Upper Austria. To address stereotyping, I cannot yodel, I don’t wear a “dirndl” all the time, I don’t eat only apple strudel, and, no, we don’t have kangaroos in Austria.
I learned very early on what hard work is as I helped my parents in the bakery right through my childhood, then in my teens, then when I was also working in other jobs. My peak working hours were 100 plus hours, seven days a week until I had my first burnout at the age of 22.
I lived like Speedy Gonzales and was twice headhunted by big companies in our bakery while I sold homemade bread. I was so quick in business and living that sometimes my family didn’t know where I was at any given moment! I never regretted the choices I made, which led me to experience three burnouts, become highly suicidal, develop health challenges, and have a car crash due to being overtired. Only twice have I regretted not going for what I felt was true.
Being a high-intuitive HSP and a multipotentialite, my childhood was challenging as I felt that I knew more than most grown-ups did. My cat, Dorli (and later my other cats), was good company when I was a child, and still today, I love sitting and talking with animals like they are human (animals complain less, except cats!).
Growing up with two brothers and with many other men around, I developed a “man-lady” attitude. This might scare some people, but it is probably one of many reasons why I love working with CEOs and top managers and why they take me seriously and love working with me (at least for the last 30 years).
Due to my Speedy Gonzales lifestyle, I had three burnouts, was highly suicidal, nearly died four times due to health challenges, and in 2015, my car accident was what’s known as a wake-up call. From these events, I created my own nutrition style (ORINITION© – n(fl)ourish soul.mind.body.) and my own coaching/therapy style (iMM – intuitive mentoring method©) as well as the iScriptingModel© supporting others internationally to remember their body intelligence and intuition. Creating my own research centre, the “HolisticScriptFactory©” and “THE health|nutrition literacy LAB©” has allowed me to scientifically prove my practical methods and conduct on-going research combining current science with complementary medicine, as well out-of-the-box-views and working directly with clients.
I call myself a research nerd as I love finding out the ‘why’ of challenges both in research and in life!
Due to my first burnout, when I was in the last stages of depersonalization, I had a unique chance to recreate myself in a completely new way from the inside|out! I cracked my subconscious and became abundant with knowledge, wisdom, and remembering my gifts of intuition. We know much more than we gain from being trained by others.
What do you do for your clients?
For more than 20 years, I have supported others to the best of my ability with my strong knowledge of business and health. Just as I was lucky enough to be supported by many people in the business and health fields. One of my credos is, “by nurturing a woman and a mother, you nurture the whole family and the world”. Therefore, I work with girls, women, and mums while also building up a corporate team with male coaches so that we support as much diversity as possible.
I am a senior resilience method/program designer supporting others in finding their inner voice and rediscovering their innate intuition, to trust themselves 1,000% and crack their subconscious to find their unique gifts of:
Be simply you.
No matter what.
Nothing else matters.
Who should hire and work with you?
Most people who come to me have already tried many other methods and therapists but are still searching for the nurturing support of a person to listen to them. My out-of-the-box methods and open spaces attract not only help-seekers but also other trainers, coaches, and therapists to obtain another insight into their work.
Our biggest challenges are the conditioned frameworks we learn from others from right back in childhood. Once, renowned therapist and psychologist Paul Watzlawick posed the question, “How real is reality?” Yet, we believe that what we learn is the reality!
With my clients, I break out of the frameworks that make us unhappy and ill (mentally as well as physically).
I call myself a business and health doula since I support clients in these topics. If you are interested in changing your lifestyle or business or going beyond your current challenges, I am here for you to support you on your journey.
“Successful business IS connected with good health!”
What is your biggest goal?
The establishment of holistic health care centers around the world that are built sustainability and aligned with mother earth’s nature; where classical medicine works for hand in hand with alternative and quantum medicines and where food IS medicine again, as it once was.
I would love to build up health literacy right from childhood to ensure we change the health care system from a “pill and repair” approach to a truly holistic health care solution that is affordable for everybody.
Seeing mother earth blossom where all creatures have enough food. I know by heart it’s possible.
Where do you see yourself ten years from now?
I bless every single day that I am healthy, happy, and vital, that I have food and safe housing. I love supporting others in gaining back their power around their health and living their dream life by being simply themselves. No matter what, and nothing else matters.
What is your biggest strength?
My business know-how combined with my female intuition—those and being stubbornly honest with me and others. Bring everything to the table, and we will work it out!
What is something weird about you?
I have talked with animals and plants the same as I do with humans since childhood. I hug trees and make tree fies or plant fies (selfies with trees and plants). I love listening to people, especially when they have different views or tough stories, as I learn the most about living from those people!
What are your top three tips for life?
Listen to yourself and decide for yourself – it’s your life.
Be simply you. Don’t cheat on yourself to please others.
Be radically honest with yourself. Who else should be honest with you if you don’t start with yourself?
