A born-and-raised Burgenland girl with nothing more than passion, will, determination, and a dream. Against all odds, I won the first-ever Olympic gold medal for my state and first ever gold for Austria in snowboarding. The Olympic gold medal solidified my reputation as a top athlete and showcased my perseverance on a global scale. I have been recognized as Woman of the Year, Female Athlete of the Year, and as a figure with social responsibilities.
I don't just talk the talk; I walk it.
It’s overcoming unimaginable tragedy with an unbreakable spirit and immense love. My journey—through the loss of my entire snowboarding team at just 13—was forged in the fires of adversity. Their memory drove me to the pinnacle of my sport and beyond, shaping me into who I am today: a risk-taker, a challenger, and a proud Olympian.
Along the way, I faced multiple critical and career-threatening injuries that brought me to the brink of giving up. Looking back, I don’t know how I kept going. It was the dream in my heart that pushed me forward. Standing on the podium, winning Olympic gold felt like everything had finally come together. I understood the steps of the journey; all the pain and setbacks made sense, as they led me to that moment of ultimate victory. It took a lot for me to believe and to totally let go. It wasn’t about defeating others—it was a victory over the challenges within. More than just a personal triumph, it was a tribute to those who supported me, even from beyond.
I HELP PEOPLE LIKE YOU to connect to their soul's purpose
If there’s one thing I learned from the tragedy, it’s that I promised myself to cherish every day and live life to the fullest, guided by my soul’s purpose rather than logic. And that’s exactly what I did. After finishing my Olympic run in 2018, I felt an unexpected emptiness. In a live interview, I followed my heart and made the bold decision to end my career with no backup plan. There was no room for logic—just a deep, unwavering commitment to my soul’s purpose.
That decision marked the beginning of a transformative spiritual journey, and surprisingly to myself, this commitment to following my heart's voice brought me back to professional sports after a break of 2.5 years.
I made a stunning comeback, winning a bronze medal at the 2021 World Championships, leading the Austrian Olympic team as flag bearer in the 2022 Winter Olympics, and finishing my snowboarding career with World Cup podiums and a final victory.
I coach individuals and companies on how to integrate an Olympic Gold Mindset to achieve their dreams. My speciality includes aligning body, mind and breath. Focusing, staying motivated, overcoming fears and doubts, performing under pressure with ease and confidence, coming back from setbacks and transforming and healing trauma that is holding one back. Ultimately, I am an example of what is possible for my students.
I go before them, acquiring treasures, testing, experimenting, making many mistakes, and experiencing incredible wins so that I can teach and know what actually works. Everything I teach has been tested in moments of highest pressure while competing at the Olympics. Through a mix of step-by-step strategies, simple techniques, and methods, layered with lots of love and transforming processes, I am my students biggest cheerleader and most honest coach.
