This event is a collaboration between two passionate coaches who love working with amazing women so they can step out of overwhelm and into calm, clarity and vitality.
Ragna Swyter
Stories are my life. I love listening to them, telling them and writing them. Other people’s stories. In my career as a print journalist, stories are inevitable, as a life coach I realized stories can be the source, a path, and a companion.
I started my journey as a coach during Covid, after living in Australia for a while. In 2010 I had left career and family behind in Germany and arrived here with my partner, our baby, and a backpack. Raising children in a foreign country and language showed me how important friends and a supportive network are. I started surfing and found my tribe in the Surfing Mums in Maroubra. The ocean listens to me, comforts me, and gives me stories to tell. I recharge, reset, and gain clarity in the waves.
Years of experience as a surf coach let me pass on my knowledge to girls and women in the water. In my wellness coaching business, I offer combined sessions in and out of the water and provide time, space, passion, and wisdom to my clients.
In my earlier life in Germany, I had been a competitive swimmer. Studying sport science peaked when my thesis “Eating disorder and the impact of the social environment on the athlete” was published as a book.

I am passionate about working with amazing women to create a more meaningful, courageous and authentic way of being.
I am a qualified coach, educator, Third-Degree Black Belt martial arts instructor and fitness professional.
In the past I had a 16-year career as a lawyer. I am also a mum of two vigorous young ones.
My own journey has involved multiple moves of countries with different languages and the death of my father when I was a child. I have experienced changes of career direction, many years of almost zero sleep with small kids, as well as overwhelm and near burnout.
I know how hard it can be. Juggling work, small children, elderly parents and all the other roles and demands that are placed on us. The woman/mum guilt has been my own companion over the years. Much less so in the present time.
I used to think that I had to earn my rest, that I had to achieve before I could relax or take a breather. I used to think that all other work had to be done and everyone else had to be taken care of before I could work on my own wishes and desires.
I now know differently.
I am currently creating space for myself to connect with, and pursue my own desires, passions and aspirations whilst also raising a family and working in two businesses.
I am also a proud champion napper (i.e. I nap like a Champ, no guilt!). 😊
In my coaching work, and in the design of my workshops, I bring the extensive knowledge and insights gained from my martial arts and legal careers. I also incorporate tools and strategies gathered over more than two decades of study on how we can improve our well-being, create a life we love and move towards self-mastery.
We look forward to welcoming you to the ARISE Half-day Retreat.
