About me & Testimonials

About me

I live in the tri-border region (CH/FR/DE) and I value the tranquility of nature, enjoy spending time with my loved ones, and have a passionate interest in coaching and personal development.
After 14 years in the corporate world and the last 7 years in IT change management, I decided to focus on my self employment as a Life & Stress and Burnout Prevention Coach. For years I lived on the edge—on the brink of total burnout myself. With all my energy, I kept pushing through: performing, smiling, “getting things done.”
But deep down, I knew this pace wasn’t sustainable for me. As much as I loved my job and my teammates, it wasn't deeply fulfilling. I stepped back, worked with coaches to rebuild my strength and clarity, and realigned with what truly matters to me: to help others struggling with the same — those burdened by stress and overwhelm.
I want to help you recognize early warning signs of stress and find your personal stress-reduction strategy
— before it’s too late!

Positive Energy
"I had an opportunity to have coaching sessions with Manuela on various topics, from personal to professional. With full confidence I can say that these have been my best coaching sessions ever. Manuela has an amazing gift to actively listen, ask the right questions and then share her own positive energy to support the inner transformation. On top of that Manuela does not need to follow any standard coaching processes, she is able to take the best of many different methods, combine it into a very personal and spot on dialogue that touches both conscious and subconscious self. I could not be more grateful to Manuela for the great, positive change she brought to my life."
Stan, 40, Poland

Best decision I took / Another dimension to life
"Being a 73 old grandma and sick with cancer for more than 4 years, I reached a point where I was frustrated with my life and had the option to seek for help or ending my life being angry and resentful to the whole world. But I didn’t know where to turn, couldn’t imagine having to deal with a psychologist or psychiatrist so I was pretty much turning in a vicious circle. Until I talk to my beloved and wise niece…Being a coach herself, she gave me more info about it and recommended me to contact someone she knew and trusted: MANU! I honestly say it is the best decision I took for a long time.
I have been “seeing” Manu (She is located in Germany and I am living in the USA) since April 2024 and I can honestly say it changed my life completely. With passion and patience, Manu taught me how to reconnect with myself, as well as with others and the Universe, without judgement but with an open heart and honesty.
Her knowledge and enthusiasm is something so precious when not long ago I was thinking I was sinking. I feel so much better since I had the luck to cross her path.
I strongly recommend MANU AMANN ‘s expertise if you consider rebuilt or just want to give a meaning and another dimension to your existing life. Never too late to be happy!"
Christine, 73, US

Zuversicht und Klarheit
"Das Coaching mit Manuela ist eine unglaublich bereichernde Erfahrung für mich. Ihre empathische und feinfühlige Art hilft mir dabei, mich selbst besser zu verstehen und die richtigen Schritte in meinem Leben zu gehen. Manuela strahlt eine ansteckende Lebensfreude aus, und ihre positive Energie motiviert mich, meine Ziele mit Zuversicht und Klarheit zu verfolgen.
Ich bin dankbar für ihre Unterstützung und empfehle das Coaching mit ihr von Herzen.🤎 "
Jana, 22, Germany

Clarity after tension release
"During the coaching session with Manuela, I was able to express my concerns in a very trusting environment. Manuela was able to narrow down my issue through active listening and targeted questioning. Using a mind-body approach, I was able to get in touch with my feelings, so that after only a short time, the tension in my body released and I was able to perceive a sense of clarity within myself. Very pleasant and professional at the same time, I would definitely do it again, thank you very much!"
Tobias, 40, Germany
