Hey, I am Steffi.

Multi-skilled, multi-passionate and embracing it all.

"So, what do you do?"


“Well, I’ve got an MEd in German and English, plus a PhD in Applied Linguistics and Indigenous Studies. I’ve built a strong track record of publications and thrive on research and learning. But that’s just the start.

I’ve trained as a classical singer, performed in choirs, rocked out in a band, and even hit the stage in theatre productions. On top of that, I’m a yoga, meditation, movement, and dance teacher. I’ve worn many hats - Steffi Retzlaff the professor, the curriculum and content developer, the department manager. I design and lead wellness retreats, company workshops, and professional development sessions. I teach students, coach teachers, and specialize in creating embodied and mindful learning experiences. My secret sauce? I blend tools from coaching, mindfulness, EFT, theatre, improv, play, neuroscience, music, art, and poetry to create something truly transformational and to connect people fast. Oh, and I dabble in editing and nervous system hacks. Honestly, who knows what else I’ll dive into next? Life’s too short to stick to one lane!" 



Breathe.Move.Learn is the ultimate fusion of my passions, talents, and expertise. It’s like a greatest hits album of everything I bring to the table, giving you the incredible superpowers of a true Multipotentialite

How can I help you?


I “speak the language” of people from all walks of life. It lets me shift gears between different ways of thinking, so I can connect with you - whether it’s a big team, a small group, or just one-on-one. I’m all about seeing the big picture while dialing in on each individual to guide them through their change process. This ability to understand issues from multiple perspectives? It’s a total game-changer. 

Multipotentialites are bursting with passion for their pursuits - so much so, it feels like an obsession. And that same fire is exactly what drives me to serve you. Wanna learn German?

Need some yoga in your life or want to hire a fun team building facilitator? I bring enthusiasm, motivation, and deep knowledge to the table, always dreaming up bold, brilliant combinations of ideas to inspire and empower you.
