Heike Gaebel Barnstorf As Cover Story Interview – August 2025 Magazine Edition
How do you introduce yourself?
Hi, I’m Heike! I grew up on a small island in the Baltic Sea, barefoot, with sand between my toes. Today I live at a Lake in Bavaria, because water is simply part of who I am. It was the question “What would make my life, and my job, truly fun?” that led me to modeling. Now, I proudly work as a Best Ager Model in the commercial, beauty, and fashion sectors. When I’m in front of the camera, it’s like a switch flips inside me. I’m suddenly full of energy, completely in my element. I’m also a certified psychological counselor, and I’m the one who brings more color into people’s lives, on the inside and the outside. On the inside through my own relaxation formats like ‘Easy Flow’ and ‘Face Glow’, or with the Belly Revolution® Massage. On the outside through styling, jewelry design, color, and creative expression. I’m open, curious and always ready to try new things.
Struggle – What hardships have you gone through in life?
My life hasn’t always been sunshine, but it was through the clouds that depth began to grow. I’ve learned not just to endure the storms, but to discover new sources of strength within myself. Today, I know that everything difficult has helped me walk my path with greater awareness.
What do people usually not know about you?
I wasn’t always as outgoing and free as I am today. There were times when my mother would say, “you should make more of yourself, wear something nice, maybe put on a little makeup.” I often felt insecure in my own body. It felt like everyone was watching and judging me. Like I wasn’t good enough, too heavy, too different, too much. Today, I’ve come home to myself. I feel comfortable in my body. I stand up for who I am, visible, confident, real. And it feels wonderful.
What sets you apart from others?
I connect with everyone, 20 or 70, banker or artist. I sense people and meet them where they are. Inside, I’m young and a little wild and the older I get, the bolder I become. I live who I am and I love inspiring others to show up, just like I’ve learned to do myself.
What are your upcoming major events?
At the moment, I’m waiting for responses from a few exciting e-castings, including a really great modeling job I’m hoping for. I’m open to what’s coming next and looking forward to whatever life has in store for me.
What expert advice would you like to give?
Anything is possible and we’re allowed to ask for anything. The universe is abundant. The moment we consciously desire something, we open space for new possibilities. I’ve experienced this myself. Since I started living and working with this mindset, my life has completely shifted. Whether in work, love, or within ourselves, we’re allowed to dream big, feel deeply, be bold and trust that life is on our side.
