Too many smart, successful women still feel like money and investing isn't for them.

You believe budgeting is restrictive. 
You didn't grow up talking about investing at the dinner table. 
So you think building wealth is reserved for finance bros or math geniuses.

None of it is true.

I'm Anouk Knuffmann, Money Mindset & Investment Coach for women, and creator of the Auto Millionaire Method™—a 5-step framework that helps you go from income earner to high net worth woman by combining nervous system expansion with financial strategies and investing.

But more than that? I help women step into a new financial identity.

Because becoming wealthy isn't just about spreadsheets and charts. It's about becoming the kind of woman who feels safe with money, empowered by her decisions, and deeply in control of her future.

My approach blends identity-shifting mindset work with hands-off investing strategy, so you don't just learn how to grow your money, you learn how to become the woman who leads it with confidence.

My story:

Growing up, I never thought I was "good with numbers." I believed wealth wasn't for people like me. Becoming a millionaire? Never.

That shifted when I heard another woman speak about investing in a way I'd never seen before. Suddenly, the world of money felt open to me.

Fast forward 7 years, and I've helped women all over the world transform their financial reality while building one of my own:

🏡 Moved my family to a beachside home in Portugal
💻 Built a part-time business that supports full-time freedom
🏖️ Spend my days working with women I adore, raising my daughter, and building generational wealth on autopilot

Financial empowerment isn't just a goal. It's a lifestyle... and it's one you get to define.

If you're a freedom-seeking, ambitious woman who's ready to make your money work harder than you do, send me a DM with WEALTH and let's craft your path.

Within this role I have closed deals with international clients securing recurrent contracts, successfully facilitated technical proposals, moved clients across platforms and held a high ratio of client retention. I have also traveled internationally interacting with different type of clients, from harbor masters to port assets managers; from Navy personnel to scientific customers. I am proud to look after a successful support team delivering fast and efficient solutions to different issues, from oceanography to IT problems.

International Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager / Technical Support Liaison

MetOcean Solutions Ltd

Working for a small company gave me the opportunity to wear different hats. In this role I have gone from Technical Support Liaison to Product Owner to Business Development Manager, acting as the linking point between the customer, the MetOcean operations team, the developers and the sales team. I have also learned the developers language and discuss with confidence features, releases, testers and different environments.

Technical Support Liaison/Product Owner

NIWA

During my PostDoc I acquired extensive field trip experience. I was on board the RV Tangaroa as PI for the Ross Sea Outflow Experiment, investigating the export of cold water from the Ross Sea. This follows from a voyage I led the year before to the Southern Ocean in which the main objective was to identify changes in the water masses over winter as we find anomalous conditions in this region. I was one of the most junior-ever physical scientists to hold the position of voyage leader on the Tangaroa. I was involved in the collecting, managing and interpreting large environmental data sets (atmospheric and ocean). I worked on every stage of the science process, from planning and logistics, data gathering, processing, applying a multitude of statistical and spatial analysis methods (familiar with GIS software) and delivery of information in different formats and to a range of audiences.

Postdoc

Research Assistant

"Oceanography of the New Zealand subantarctic region"

My PhD thesis work was multi-faceted with several connections to interactions between continental marginal seas and open ocean settings. Focused on New Zealand subantarctic region, emphasis was made to understand forcing mechanisms, variability and resolving the mass budget on Campbell Plateau to understand the implications and roles of continental shelves on the Southern Ocean. Using ocean variability to understand marine population fluctuations was also part of my study.

The thesis involved collecting, managing and interpreting large environmental data sets (atmospheric and ocean, observations and satellite data). Thus, I am experienced with the whole knowledge-chain from data gathering, processing (Matlab), applying a multitude of statistical and spatial analysis methods (including GIS) and delivery of information in different formats and public.
