Resolve challenging situations
"Claus is a world leader in his approach to coaching and personal development. He helps to provide great clarity, increased self-awareness, choice and clear guidance on how to resolve challenging situations. I really appreciate his breadth of knowledge across a number of disciplines, non-judgemental way of working, calm and light approach and the powerful insights he provides, resulting in the ability to make real and sustained changes. I highly recommend Claus as a coach."

Slicing through confusion to the essence
"I deeply appreciate the way Claus teaches and holds the group, with such warmth, clarity and friendliness, yet with appropriate and clear boundaries. It is a safe and free place where we can risk being more fully ourselves and explore our growing edges of awareness, allowing our shadows, light and dark, into our experience. The way he works with us individually within the group is so sensitive and respectful, and yet so precise and non-collusive. Time and again his zen-like 'minimalist' approach to teaching slices through confusion like a knife through butter, guiding us to experience our essence just the other side of it."

Feeling peace, joy and contentment
“What did I learn through working with Claus? I began to learn that I have capacities within which are more satisfying and meaningful than the rewards which our society commonly offers. That it is possible to feel peace, joy and contentment as an ordinary human being, and to access the internal support which makes the continuing journey possible”

Embodied and sincere care
"Claus is very intuitive and skilled to distillate out the issue, which needs working on and helping to reconnect to essence and their different aspects time and time again. His openness and curiosity coupled with passionate dedication to truth is a powerful combination. I appreciate his own embodiment and sincere care. I love doing essence work and doing it with Claus is a pleasure"

Transformational change without drama and fear
"I am constantly amazed at the power of Claus' interventions. I am not quite sure how he does it. I have worked with numerous facilitators, undergoing Gestalt and Transactional Analysis training. Claus somehow simplifies the process of transformational change. He takes the drama and fear out of everyday issues and blocks. He works with such grace and focus."

Razor-sharp presentation of 'fuzzy' spiritual subjects
"I really value the program of retreats, group meetings and one-to-ones that Claus offers. It's a deep and comprehensive package that I can weave into my busy work and family life. I really appreciate the blend of the psychological and spiritual all grounded in direct experience. In particular, the razor-sharp way 'fuzzy' spiritual subjects and essential states are presented and discussed is so helpful."

A real fourth-way approach
"Claus offers a great mix of profound spiritual work and down to earth advice and real world nudges when needed. A real fourth way approach."

As deep as you are ready to go with unconditional compassion
"I'm drawn to working specifically with Claus for a number of reasons: During workshops, he is open and attentive to all students. He picks up on not just the words, but the emotion that sits behind them. And this is his entry point to your felt sense. He doesn't let it go, he'll go as deep as you are ready to go but with an unconditional compassion that won't push you further than you are ready within the workshop setting. When one to one with Claus, he will then take you deeper. He will pick up on what draws his interest and you will spend quality time focusing on just one aspect. It's like the main course of a meal where you really get your fill of one particular aspect of a bigger issue. Like zooming in on one part of you. Until you reach a state of peace or understanding that allows you to approach life from that point, giving you access to a part of yourself underneath your personality structure. It's difficult to put into words but once you start to work with Claus you will feel the felt sense of it"

Being seen and mirrored in my true nature has helped me recognise it
"I absolutely recognize that working with Claus on a one to one basis (in addition to the retreats) has been essential for my inner development. Almaas writes that "your teacher is your best friend" in supporting your self-realization by seeing, acknowledging, mirroring, and valuing the essential states that arise within the student. For me, this has rung very true. The extra time and attention that I get in the one-to-ones have been a very rich greenhouse for me to practice embodying the process of staying with whatever is arising and to explore essential qualities deeper."
