About me

About Me – My Journey, My Values, My Passion

My journey in healthcare began at the age of 17, when I gained my first professional experience working in a hospital. Even then, I felt a strong desire to help people, listen to their concerns and support them through challenging times in their lives. These early experiences had a lasting impact on me and laid the foundation for my future career.

Throughout my many years working in healthcare, I have had the privilege of supporting people through a wide range of life stages and circumstances. Over time, I became increasingly aware of how closely physical health, mental well-being and personal circumstances are interconnected. This understanding led me towards therapeutic work, where I can now combine my enjoyment of working with people with my fascination for physical and mental health.

What I find most fulfilling about my work is seeing the person behind the symptoms. Everyone has their own story, individual needs and personal challenges. That is why it is important to me to approach my patients with empathy, respect and openness, without judgement. I consciously take the time to listen, understand the connections between different aspects of their well-being and find a suitable therapeutic approach together.
