Individual coaching

In addition to group formats, I also offer individual coaching and mentoring for those looking for personal guidance. Whether you’re developing a new idea, navigating a career transition, or seeking clarity for your next steps – these one-on-one sessions are a space to reflect and explore. I can act as a sparring partner who listens with curiosity and offers structure, methods and impulses that support you in making informed and confident decisions. These sessions are collaborative and designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and intention.

While coaching and mentoring in this form is a newer part of my work, I’ve been offering individual sessions for many years as a somatic practitioner. This experience informs how I listen, ask questions, and hold space for people’s personal and professional development. It’s also strengthened my ability to identify needs, provide structure, and support people in taking clear next steps. I apply the same approach in mentoring — empathetic, focused, and supportive.

  • EXIST-Women Mentoring:

    This program supports aspiring female founders from science and academia in developing their startup ideas. As a mentor, I accompany participants over several months, offering strategic guidance, feedback on their business model and pitch, and personal support throughout the early stages of their entrepreneurial journey.

  • Helmholtz Field Study Fellowship:

    This program pairs PhD candidates and postdocs with mentors to explore application fields for their research. Over the course of three months, I support fellows with refining their value proposition by planning and conducting stakeholder interviews and reflecting on the relevance and potential impact of their ideas.

What mentees say about me

With her sensitivity and her warm, clear presence, Nina grasped me and my work very quickly. I felt seen, understood and very encouraged! Her inspiring attitude and impulses have a long-lasting effect and always took me to a new level. After each session I was inspired, strengthened and full of new courage.

Nina’s coaching had a big impact on the early development of my climate data platform. Her sharp questions and structured approach helped uncover real user needs and brought clarity to the value proposition – it was a truly energizing and eye-opening process.
