Bella Oettingen

My name is Bella Oettingen,

having been married for more than 15 years, and as one of five sisters as well as a mother of five wonderful daughters, the theme of "being a woman" plays a central role in my life.

For over 20 years, I have found my spiritual home in the Loretto Community. This place gives me the opportunity to show my vulnerability and experience healing, while at the same time allowing me to unfold and grow my talents. For over a decade, I have been accompanied by the ministry "Womens' Walk With Christ," which strongly shapes my life. It is about looking at my wounds together with Jesus, healing them, and leading an authentic life. Through this work, I have gained a deeper awareness of the fragility of being a woman and, at the same time, discovered the longing to experience the hidden beauty and dignity within it anew. My heart's desire is to encourage women to recognize their true femininity and identity in God, in order to live in greater freedom and shape everyday life with a new depth and fulfillment. In this way, they create the foundation for their souls and gifts to shine in the light of God.

My VISION is to help shape a world in which women, as beloved and called children of God, take their true place and thereby make the world a more healed and vibrant place. Together, we want to discover the hidden treasures in the heart of woman and carry God's light into the world.
