JUDITH WÄLDE
Coach, Mental trainer, Mediator.
What defined me.
Career and performance have always been an important part of my life. While I spent my youth in German swimming pools, I later lived out my performance mindset to the full in my studies and in my first job. But as the responsibility increased, so did the pressure, and somewhere along the way I lost the lightness and enjoyment of my work. Self-doubt became my constant companion.
My journey:
This prompted me to start further training as a mental coach alongside my coaching training: my first step into part-time self-employment. After a total of 15 years in various management roles, in 2024 it was time to put my passion for personal development and mentoring at the center of my professional life. Today, I work full-time as a coach, mental trainer and mediator, specializing in the world of thoughts and emotions. I accompany my clients in their personal change and support them in dealing with inner and outer conflicts.
My mission:
It was a long journey before I realized that performance is not everything and that it is important to reflect on myself and take a break from time to time. Today I know that true strength lies in taking care of your own health and happiness. This is exactly when I can develop my full potential. With this insight in mind, I now help my clients to stay true to themselves and awaken dormant potential in my mental training and coaching sessions. The focus is on their sustainable further development. Because I believe that professional and personal success do not exclude a healthy work-life balance.

This is what I stand for.
As a coach, my own identity is inextricably linked to the identity of my company. In my work, but also as a person, I stand for the following values:
Confidentiality and discretion
What we discuss remains between us. Trust and discretion have top priority.
Passion and Belief
Everything I do, I do with passion and belief. This attitude also flows into my coaching.
Empathy
You are the center of attention. We go the way that suits you. I don't judge the goals you set for yourself or where you are at the moment. Together we will reach our goal.
Humor
Despite the focus on success, fun and enjoyment should never be neglected. You will also find someone in me with whom you can have a good laugh.
What my customers truly value about me:
- My energy and motivation: After coaching, my clients feel energized and motivated to tackle their issues and put new ideas into action.
- My patience: I always have an open ear. There is no judgement - I'll listen and show understanding for your personal situation.
- My honesty: My clients value my honesty and integrity. I give clear and concise feedback without going overboard.
- The relaxed atmosphere: My coaching sessions are unconventional and relaxed and often take place in the fresh air.
Partners & Memberships
I can't do everything on my own. That's why I work together with other companies and associations in larger settings.
