About Me
I am Florian Ripp, a Diplom-Ingenieur in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the Technical University of Darmstadt and a coach for personal growth since 2022. My approach combines analytical clarity with attentive conversation, body awareness and elements of yoga.
My coaching practice initially developed alongside my engineering career. Since 2025, my professional focus has been on my entrepreneurial work: continuing to develop my coaching services and building Mental Fulfillment with AWALA.
I support people calmly, clearly and compassionately. The aim is not to make decisions for you, but to strengthen your self-awareness, personal responsibility and sense of direction.
Reflection. Awareness. Experience.

Professional background
My professional journey began in electrical engineering. More than ten years in research, technical customer support and industrial development taught me to examine complex relationships carefully, take responsibility and approach difficult questions in a structured way.
Degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the Technical University of Darmstadt, graduating as a Diplom-Ingenieur.
Professional roles at organizations including Fraunhofer ISE, CST, ESG and Stellantis—from renewable energy technology to simulation and driver assistance, system development and validation.
Further training in areas including energy storage, data analytics, machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, design thinking and innovation management.
Initially alongside my engineering career: building an independent, non-clinical coaching practice for personal growth, reflection and orientation.
Full-time focus on my own entrepreneurial work, my coaching services and building Mental Fulfillment with AWALA.

My journey
I was already familiar with yoga, meditation and conscious nutrition through my family environment. I found my own connection to them only when I began looking for a counterbalance to achievement and inner pressure. Over the following years, I explored self-awareness, emotional response patterns, relationships and a more conscious way of relating to myself in depth. Today, this journey shapes the calm, clear and personally responsible way in which I support others.
What shapes my work
Organize complex topics together, identify what matters most and develop understandable next steps.
Notice thoughts, feelings and physical signals attentively, without judging or diagnosing them prematurely.
Do not make decisions for others, do not promise healing, and clearly refer people onward when an issue falls outside the scope of coaching.

Honest context
My services consist of coaching and personal development guidance. They do not provide diagnoses and do not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.
