Dr. Stefanie Gerke
Coaching for People-Pleasers
About
Hi, my name is Stefanie and I help sensitive people pleasers do less of what they don’t need to do and more of what they want to do, for a life of more calm and ease.
I get you.
I understand your struggles because I’m a recovering people pleaser myself. As a highly sensitive person, it was often easier for me to feel the expectations and wishes of the person in front of me than it was to listen to my own needs, let alone stand up for them. To be honest, I didn’t even know what to stand up for.
For a while, that worked fine, because it made me a super dutiful employee, colleague and friend.
But... there’s a cost to always being available, isn’t there?

How life coaching can help
After years of ignoring my own boundaries, I came close to a burnout. I was just in that hamster wheel of always being busy and stressed and – although I didn’t want to admit it – really unhappy on the inside despite my super privileged life.
With the help of a great life coach, I finally learned to tune in and listen to myself, gently, cautiously. The coaching sessions enabled me to find out my very own abilities, talents and wishes and taught me to slowly make choices that are more aligned with my needs.
Thus, instead of pursuing my career in academia, I got my own life coach certification – and it’s the perfect calling for me.
Now it’s your turn to find out more about yourself, to accept, navigate and even learn to love and make use of your sensitive, people pleasing side. I am here to guide you every step of the way.

CONNECTED Gruppencoaching Juni 2026
In meinem 4-wöchigen Gruppencoaching-Programm CONNECTED lernst du, bei dir zu bleiben, zu spüren, was du eigentlich brauchst und willst, und auf dieser Basis auch authentisch mit anderen in Kontakt zu sein.
Konflikte meistern als People-Pleaserin – wie du bei dir bleibst, ohne die Beziehung zu gefährden
Ich hab Angst vor Konflikten aber möchte lernen, souveräner zu sein. Wie geht ein 'guter' Konflikt? Was muss ich sagen? Wie komm ich da gut durch, und vor allem: Wie gefährde ich nicht die Beziehung zu meinem Gegenüber?
