“The most profound insights often emerge when we create space for quiet reflection and connect with the deeper currents within ourselves.”

Alisa Walther, 42, is a co-owner of 'Raum für Sein', a three-person wellness studio nestled in Berlin's vibrant Prenzlauer Berg district. Her journey into holistic wellness began after a demanding career in administrative support, where she experienced firsthand the toll of chronic stress. Seeking balance, she immersed herself in meditation, yoga, and various therapeutic modalities, eventually pursuing vocational training and several certificate courses in mindfulness coaching and symbolic studies. Seven years ago, she partnered with Lena and Markus to establish their studio, driven by a shared vision of creating a sanctuary for personal growth and self-discovery. Their signature offering is a monthly symbolism workshop, a space where attendees explore archetypes and personal meaning. The studio's operational approach is currently a blend of digital and analog: live presentation decks for workshops, shared Google Sheets for client management, and handwritten prompts for attendee reflections. This hybrid system, while functional, presents ongoing challenges in terms of efficiency and data integration, a point of frequent discussion among the partners. Alisa's income of €52k reflects her dedication and the studio's steady, albeit modest, growth. She lives alone in a cozy, plant-filled apartment, a testament to her appreciation for calm and order. Her financial habits are prudent; she prioritizes investing in professional development, studio improvements, and experiences that enrich her life and practice, rather than accumulating material possessions. She views time as a precious resource, meticulously allocating it between client care, studio management, and personal rejuvenation. Status, for Alisa, is measured not by external markers but by the depth of connection she fosters with her clients and the positive impact her work has on their lives. She recently decided to explore potential digital tools that could streamline their workshop feedback process, a move driven by a desire to enhance client care without sacrificing the personal touch that defines 'Raum für Sein'.

Background & daily life

A day in their life

Alisa's typical weekday begins around 6:30 AM with a 30-minute meditation, followed by journaling. After a light breakfast, she heads to the studio by 8:30 AM. Her morning might involve preparing for an upcoming symbolism workshop, responding to client inquiries, or leading a small group meditation session. Lunch is usually a quick, healthy meal she brought from home. The afternoon could be dedicated to a one-on-one client session or a team meeting to discuss workshop logistics and client feedback. She often stays until 6:00 PM, tidying up and planning for the next day, before heading home for a quiet evening of reading or a yoga class.

Lifestyle

Alisa's life is structured around her studio and personal well-being. She wakes early for a quiet meditation session before preparing a simple, healthy breakfast. Her evenings are often spent reading or attending a local book club. She prioritizes mindful spending, focusing on experiences and quality over quantity, and is diligent about saving for studio upgrades and personal retreats. Socially, she enjoys intimate gatherings with close friends and values deep conversations. Her apartment is a sanctuary, filled with plants and calming decor.

Work life

As co-owner of 'Raum für Sein', Alisa's workdays are a blend of client sessions, workshop facilitation, and administrative tasks. She shares responsibilities with her two partners, Lena and Markus, focusing on client care and workshop content development. They currently rotate between using a shared Google Sheet for client tracking, a live presentation deck for workshops, and physical notebooks for attendee reflections. The team is discussing the need for a more streamlined system, especially as workshop attendance grows. Alisa feels the pressure to maintain a high standard of client experience while managing the operational side.
