ABOUT ME
Empathy is my guide
For me, empathy is more than just a value—it is an attitude, a connection, and a guide.
I am Rebecca Seyboth—a certified empathy coach, mediator, and communication trainer (Nonviolent Communication). I use a holistic approach to support people and organizations in transformation processes: empathetically, clearly, and intuitively.
Whether in private settings, companies, or public institutions, my goal is to create spaces where people can meet themselves and each other on equal terms and with awareness.
At Empathie Raum, you can be and become who you truly are.
In my services, I combine empathy, intuition, energetic healing knowledge, 20 years of international professional experience, and clear guidance. Whether in individual coaching, business coaching, seminars, or in the energetic healing space—you will find not only tools, but transformation for genuine connection to yourself, to others, and to life.

My Story
My beginnings
I was born in Potsdam, lived and worked in the US and the Netherlands, and now live with my family in Zurich. I am a mother of two and love to recharge my batteries in nature and discover the diversity of life with curiosity.
My professional career began in the tech industry, where I spent over 20 years in international leadership roles at companies such as BMW, TomTom, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, and Cloudera. What appeared to be a path to success often felt empty inside.
Turning point
In 2017—in the midst of professional success, with family, relationship, career—I was burned out inside. I was functioning, but I could hardly feel myself anymore. I was in functional mode, on the verge of burnout.
During a Vipassana retreat, I found my way back to myself in the silence. Layer by layer, everything that no longer belonged to me fell away. I felt my true essence again, physically, emotionally, and mentally, and gave myself back what had made me happy as a child—vitality, trust, and the lightness of being.
A new beginning
This experience was the start of my journey of transformation. The seed of my vision was planted and grew steadily and consistently, nourished by love and compassion. I began to intensively study self-leadership, energy work, and nonviolent communication (NVC).
Step by step, my personal healing gave rise to a new professional vision and calling: to reconnect people with themselves and others. This vision led to the creation of the Empathy Space—a space for deep transformation, connection, and growth.
In the present
Today, I accompany individuals, teams, and organizations on their journey toward greater emotional clarity, conscious communication, and deeper connection—through coaching, mediation, and energy work.
I work intuitively, holistically, and practically—supported by my own experience, certified expertise, and a deep trust in the inner wisdom of every human being.
In the Empathy Space, you can be who you are—and become who you truly are.
“Change requires courage. Courage also means being afraid—and facing that fear with openness. That is the greatest gift you can give yourself.”
Your journey to greater empathy starts here!
