About me · Leyla Stuber

I believe in paths that don’t run in a straight line – but are real.

My path has never been a smooth line, but a constant wandering between worlds. Today I see myself as a bridge builder: I build bridges between the mind and the unconscious, between social structures and individual freedom, between what is visible and what lies beyond it.

The call of the depths

In my work, a grounding in psychology and a spiritual search flow into one another. Alongside my training in transpersonal coaching, I am currently following the call of shamanism. For me, this means understanding healing not as repair, but as reconnecting with the greater whole.

I am guided by the quality of the falcon: the ability to shift perspective, keep the bigger picture in view and see what truly matters with clarity – without losing touch with the ground.

From wounded healer to presence

I don’t accompany you as someone who stands above it all, but as someone who identifies with the archetype of the wounded healer. My own shadows and my experiences as a neurodivergent (AuDHD), queer person and BIPoC are my greatest resources today. They have taught me that real healing begins where we stop trying to make ourselves fit.

In my spaces there is no “wrong” and no “too much”. They are trauma-sensitive, queer- and relationship-inclusive, and consciously critical of discrimination. What guides me is less a rigid method than a radical attitude: presence. I accompany you into the freedom of not knowing, so that you can find your own truth beyond prescribed roles.

Life behind the roles

When I’m not accompanying people, I’m a singer and singing teacher – for me, another way of making the essence of a person audible. I live in a polyamorous family with my two partners and our son.

I love vegan food, the grounding work in the garden and the quiet happiness of being alone. Ideally barefoot, so I can feel my connection to the earth with every step.

In the media

Where I’ve been able to share my story.

Every now and then I get to talk in conversations, shows and portraits about how I live and love – and why it’s worth following your own path.

Koru, the winking turtle with a spiral on its shell
Hi, I’m Koru!

It’s okay to go slowly.

I accompany Leyla on her journey. Retreating is part of growing, and you don’t have to hurry to arrive at yourself. The spiral on my shell stands for transformation, remembering and new beginnings – at your own pace. And hey: you’re allowed to be real. And soft. And wild. All at once.
