My name is Antje Gerstmann. I am 47 years young and the mother of 4 wonderful, self-learning children. Very early in my life, I began working after school and I loved the feeling of freedom and independence this brought. Freedom (inner and outer) is one of my most important values. Therefore, after the normal school route, training and some experience as an employee, I quickly felt that self-employment was the only option for me.

In my early 20s I opened my first fashion store, just like that and without thinking too much about it. I quit my secure and stable job, gave up my company car and started cycling again; I was FREE. Without financial security, I followed my heart and jumped in at the deep end. Sales flowed from day one and I had significantly more money than ever before. And yes, for me, financial abundance is also part of this earthly life - I enjoy living in financial independence much more. It corresponds to our true nature, which knows no lack.

When we follow our hearts and listen to our intuition, we are guided and deeply protected by our higher self. While running my shop, I loved being able to live in my creativity like a child again. From the decoration to the individual styling, I did everything myself in my business and it felt like "playing". Every creative impulse could be born immediately. The women loved it; with individual styling, they felt seen and valued, and were able to immerse themselves in this fairytale world that I created.

At the time, I was completely unaware of the depth of this. It is simply part of my essence and flows out of me naturally. At some point, the shining eyes and the radiance of the women made me realize that this is probably one of my talents. It was a great honor for me and the way the women perceived themselves after our work together touched me deeply. They truly found themselves beautiful, often for the first time in their lives.

When my third child was born, I sold my business and devoted myself to being a mother for many years. With the birth of a child, everything changes, and for me the greatest gift we can give our children is our own healing. In this way, we break the cycle of inherited injuries from our ancestors and can be the mother we really are in our hearts - unconditionally loving, truthful and free from conditioning.

The gift of healing presented itself to me immediately after the birth of my 4th child. The dark night of the soul ‘visited’ me (to put it mildly) - for a long time it didn't feel like a gift at all. From then on, nothing was the same. My life was divided into a ‘before’ and an ‘after’. The ‘old’ Antje was gone overnight.

Since the age of 16, I have been interested in metaphysical concepts, reading spiritual books and other material. I always felt like a unicorn, feeling everything differently than the way people expected me to. This was very confusing for me as a child, having the adults say one thing and the energy inside me vibrate completely differently. I couldn’t escape this feeling - not at home, in kindergarten, at school, etc.

I have attended many courses on my journey. I have gained degrees and had wonderful coaches; everyday I journey further and deeper into my own essence. The abilities I discovered on my own Hero´s journey have revealed themselves to me all over, simply by removing the things that don’t belong to me. They now empower me to support others on their path. I have stood in the fire and been burned, over and over again. No emotional state is foreign to me. Imagine the phoenix rising from the ashes, the old burned and the new born; that is how I experience the process of inner work.

I feel like I am bringing my life's work into the world, with this mixture of spirituality, beauty, luxury, styling, healing, feminine energy and alchemy. For me, all of this belongs together, because it is all highly spiritual. That is why the name Spiritual Stylism was born overnight; it showed itself to me when I listened.
