The effects that can be created just by touching always inspire me anew

What always excites me about working as a therapist is the energy and therapeutic effect that can come from just touching a body. I myself have been using massages for many years and am impressed by the effects they can trigger, as well as by how much knowledge of human nature one acquires over time – an aspect that is incredibly important in order to be able to provide patients with optimal care. It is precisely these aspects, and of course working with people, that make this profession so special for me. For this reason, I gave up my original job as an architect, where I spent a lot of monotonous time in the office and at the computer, and began my therapeutic career. This led me through the fitness & wellness industry, as well as my ongoing passion for Pilates, to the fulfilling job of massage therapist. In particular, my patience, empathy and ability to listen well are valuable companions. My calm, flexible nature makes it easy for me to adapt to situations. This is very important to me, because I want my patients to feel comfortable and simply be in the situation. I particularly enjoy incorporating classical/therapeutic massage or even pain therapy into treatments. I am also very interested in sports therapy – I myself come from a competitive sports background – or fascia therapy. Of course, which form of treatment I use always depends on the individual situation of my patients.
