This is us: A & C

  • Annabelle

    FOUNDER

    As co-founder of AURA AND CORE, Annabelle combines her deep expertise as a psychologist and systemic therapist with her own long experience as a leader in management consulting. From practice she knows firsthand the constant performance pressure, the complexity and the mental load of professional responsibility. From this very need she uses therapeutic and systemic impulses to clear the mind and create new clarity - so you don’t just relax, but sustainably realign your inner compass.

  • Cristina

    FOUNDER

    As co-founder of AURA AND CORE, Cristina knows the reality of working in a fast-paced corporate environment. Alongside her work in management, she knows what it’s like to juggle meetings, decisions and everything in between. Pilates became part of her own way of staying grounded - a chance to step away from the screen, move her body and clear her head, eventually becoming a certified Pilates teacher along the way. Together with her co-founder, she created AURA AND CORE around exactly that idea: taking time out doesn’t have to mean taking time off.

Why AURA AND CORE?

Annabelle and Cristina met in business school, conquered management consulting and executive leadership in fast moving industries, and learned what constant corporate pressure actually feels like. To cut through the noise, they went deep: Annabelle mastered systemic therapy and hot yoga, while Cristina trained as a dynamic Pilates instructor.

Still old friends and certified powerhouses, they launched AURA AND CORE: the ultimate micro-escapes for high-performing women. No endless routines, no fluff. Just a fast, sustainable space to drop the mental load, move your body, and completely reset your inner compass.
