Rev. Angelika Regina Heimann of inStrengths combines Christ-Centred Spirituality with Positive Psychology and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming, or Cognitive Behavioural Brain Repatterning) to assist couples and/or individuals seeking her advice to discover their unique personal strengths to facilitate growth, learn skills to build positive emotions, optimism and resilience while decreasing unhelpful thinking, behaviours and emotions.
With cutting edge techniques focusing systemically on an individual’s or couple’s strengths, resilience, positive success brain retraining and a person’s own internal spiritual resources, Geli does not need to go into an individual’s past to resolve a longstanding issue, but rather gives her clients tools to use in the ‘Now’ to create a better future.
Geli is devoted to empower and enlighten those who seek her advice to reach their next level and beyond in deep intimacy both spiritually and with their loved ones, particularly with their spouses.
Her success is and has been to first of all help individuals have a thorough understanding of themselves, their unique personality, strengths and qualities, to then reach a healthy state of love.
In other words, once they realize that happiness in life is not dependent on the approval and acceptance of others, they can learn to take responsibility for their own emotional and spiritual needs and states.
A key understanding is that without accepting and inviting a higher spiritual power to colaborate with in their lives, all the best and hardest work in their own effords is futile and only ends up in exhaustion, burnout and a very unhappy marriage or divorce.
Out of that state of fullness and wholeness will they be able to love others without unhealthy neediness for love in return. Only when they reach that state of Knowing and Being will they be able to feel true compassion and love without any conditions or personal agendas placed on others.
For over 28 years Geli has served in ministry and worked in the field of relationships, both in personal intimate relationships as well as organizational relationships. She earned degrees in Psychology with research emphasis on the factors determining fulfilling happy long-term marriages; and a Masters in Business Psychology with the emphasis on Relationship Growth particularly in Leadership.
Her orientation is based on the discipline of “Positive Psychology” rather than “Clinical Psychology”.
Geli’s greatest passion is to impact and change the world around her at the nucleus of society: Relationships, especially Intimate Relationships.
It’s my passion and joy to see you and the one you love to soar to your personal highest levels, and then keep growing further!
Why ‘your own personal highest level’? Every single person and every single relationship is unique and special. You have your own dreams, hopes and goals.
You have grown through your own unique circumstances and challenges in life, some of which still may need healing or the supportive environment so that you can run with full strengths.
This is a mission only you yourself can accomplish. I cannot do this for you. I cannot wave a magic wand. However, anything you need to get where you want to be is already inside of you. All you need to do is awake to this fact and allow Love Eternal to be your inner guide and life force. I promise you that as long as you work and play determinedly forward, I will do all I can to help you get there!
Yes, it takes a step of faith, and some effort on your part … even better if your life partner spouse runs the race with you.
I am committed to you to the degree that you are committed to yourself and your relationship, and are willing to put in your all to that process.
You’ll want to know about who I am. Certainly during the mentoring you’ll get to know me a lot better than just visiting these pages.
The Journey of Intimacy
Geli’s Candid Personal Story of Love, Passion and Relationship Intimacy:
“I tend to characterize intimacy as more than just physical ‘bedroom’ intimacy, it spans much further to me.
In many ways my interactions with other humans during my life, from the time I was born till now, is a whole big book full of events that gave ‘intimacy’ meaning … or better, I gave meaning to those.
Not all of those were what I would describe as favourable or enjoyable, but in the final analysis, these were all junctions or highlights in my life where I had an opportunity to learn and grow.
I am a psychologist as well as an ordained minister, having served in ministry for over 28 years (Check out The Spiritual Spectrum I Come From if you wish).
Over many years in pastoral counselling and giving clients consultations, my heartbeat has been to enrich and empower couples and individuals, especially in the nitty gritty of intimate relationships including the bedroom.
I am a Relationships Psychologist not a clinical psychologist, nor a psychotherapist dealing with severe clinical and medical mental health cases, I do not recommend psycho-pharmaceutical remedies, i.e. drugs. I do not dig up people’s past, but rather help them move forward from where they are using their strengths and unique qualities so often overlooked in traditional psychotherapy.
I see myself as a mentor, coach, consultant and friend.
In my own life I have not just devoted myself to the rigors of scientific studies and earning university degrees, but also very much experienced the ‘hard knocks of suffering’. Because I have been there, because I experienced the devastating pain of abuse and death threats, neglect and seeming emptiness, divorce, feeling I had nothing more to give, and life was not worth living anymore, I am able to have the level of compassion and deep understanding that no textbook can provide. Touched by the needs of those in front of me, it has become my unspeakable joy to help them become their own very best whilst extending empathy with unconditional regard.
Life is a mixed bag. Just as I have experienced situations in my life for which I had to find new and positive meanings and search for reasons to smile, I have also had such unbelievably beautiful times which far outweigh all the others. Deep gratitude and genuine love is the only way I can describe that residing notion and feeling in my heart!
When it comes to sexual preferences and deviations, in my role as a psychosexual educator, I can truthfully say, “I’ve just about heard it all, nothing shocks me anymore”. I sat down and listened to the life stories of prostitutes, dominatrixes, folk involved in the fetish world, sex addicts, etc.
My mission in life is to assist those, who so desire, to be the best and the most happy they want to be, to bring hope, joy and bliss into their life and their families.”
