Finca in Llucmajor: How a German Therapist Finds Her Footing on Mallorca

A New Chapter on the Finca

Sometimes it happens without fanfare: a key, a door, and suddenly a place feels like home. This is how it is for Talia, a German therapist in her mid-fifties, who moved a few months ago into a small finca near Llucmajor. The pool gurgles, a light breeze rustles the olive leaves, and cat Mio suns on the terrace. No cliché — this has become everyday life.

Professionally rooted, privately started anew

Talia works at the Palma Clinic, cares for residents and second-home owners, does hypnosis, couples counseling and coaching — in person and online. After many years at Lake Constance and a breakup, she consciously chose the island. "I slowed down my pace," she says, laughing softly. You can tell: here is someone who never stands still, but now chooses more consciously.

Menopause as a central theme

In her sessions, one topic keeps coming up: women in midlife who need to reorient themselves. Talia doesn't call it a crisis, but a phase with potential — if you know the medical background. Therefore she continues to educate herself, among others with a gynecologist from Germany, and prepares workshops. On October 12 she offers a free online lecture: "Inner Climate Change – Menopause and the Psyche" (9:30–11:00, registration by e-mail to anmeldung@menofiesta.de).

The interest doesn't come by accident: many patients report upheavals, sudden decisions and the desire to shape their own lives differently. Talia often shares her own experiences in sessions — honest and unvarnished. "Sometimes life is like fog on the road: you can only see a little bit. Then you breathe and take a step further," she explains.

Painting as balance

A new passion of hers is painting. In a small studio on the property, watercolors and acrylics are now created, mostly in calm tones. She plans to show some works on the island — but without hurry. "Good things need their moment," she says, placing a canvas in the sun.

Whoever meets her feels a blend of professional clarity and private composure. That is not always easy — especially after a big cut. But that is exactly what makes her story relatable: no show, no perfectionism, only the sincere effort to put down roots in a place.

If you find yourself in Llucmajor soon and see a cat on the terrace, maybe Mio. Karin, the neighbor, often waves over, the scent of freshly ground coffee drifts through the streets, and Talia? She is hanging a new painting. Quite normal, very real.
