Hi, I’m Inge, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience helping people navigate aging and life transitions with a holistic, preventative mindset. I created this space to share what I’ve learned about mental wellness, stress relief, clean skincare, mindful nutrition, and the daily practices that support lifelong health: inside and out.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or out of balance, I hope this space offers you the support and clarity you’ve been looking for. I share evidence-based practices that blend mental health insight with simple, natural tools like herbal medicine, anti-inflammatory nutrition, yoga, clean skincare, and meditation. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more resilient, and more connected to your own vitality.
My path here has been a winding one. I was born in Austria and immigrated to the United States at age four. Music shaped my early years. My mother was a piano teacher, and I grew up learning piano, violin, viola, and guitar, eventually playing in the San Diego Youth Symphony. Music continues to nourish me to this day.
Throughout my twenties to forties, I raised two children and built a medical transcription business, all while earning my nursing and nurse practitioner degrees from Arizona State University. Along the way, I pursued yoga teacher certification and became a meditation teacher, following my growing love for mind-body wellness. I also studied culinary nutrition and discovered a passion for supporting the body with healing, whole foods. Herbal teas and natural remedies became part of my everyday life, and a key part of what I share with others.
In my current work as a nurse practitioner, I integrate holistic approaches to care. I believe healing happens in connection: with ourselves, with one another, and with nature. My deepest hope is that Serene Life Way becomes a place where you can return again and again, to feel supported, to learn something new, and to rediscover your own sense of calm, clarity, and wholeness.

I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to something that’s made a significant impact in my skincare routine lately: Oliveda.
Prevention isn’t about huge overhauls or overnight transformations. It’s about small, intentional choices that we make daily.
I’m sharing the best way to save money on Oliveda orders.
There is a quiet kind of power in learning how to say no. Not the sharp-edged no that cuts and leaves wounds. But the soft, steady no that comes from knowing yourself deeply.
Let’s explore some common reasons spring can disrupt our sleep and how we can address them.
