Who I am
I grew up on a farm in southern Styria, surrounded by lively natural cycles and old wisdom. Based on this wisdom I started to learn about alternative medicine. After graduating from high school, I started my training as a medical massage therapist in Graz in 2013. Shortly after, I completed a therapeutic massage training and at the same time began to read about nutrition and traditional medical systems. Thus my interest in integral medicine grew and I deepened my knowledge of the psyche-soma connection. In 2018 my path led me to Switzerland, where I completed my studies in Traditional European Naturopathy in 2025.
My professional stations took me to Vienna, among other places, where I gained experience at the practices of Dr. Günther Gal and Dr. Zorica Mijalkovic. From 2015 I had my own practice in my home country, which deepened my understanding of therapeutic work and had a lasting impact on me as a therapist and as a person. Until 2023 I have been able to expand my specialist knowledge in the popular Heart wellness lounge in the heart of Zurich and since 2023 I have been working in my own practice again.
I am fascinated by the wisdom of nature and how it manifests itself in us humans. A force is constantly working within us to maintain or restore balance. It is my aim to recognize where this process currently stands and how I can support it in the best possible way. In this context, the body-soul-spirit unity is just as natural to me as the fact that as a therapist I initiate healing processes and do not carry them out.
