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.
