For more than 15 years I have been working with great joy, enthusiasm, and passion in the field of body therapy.
The complexity of anatomy, physiology, and the interrelationships of the body fascinate me deeply, which is why I continually strive to expand my medical knowledge through further training and to refine my hands.
During my studies and various training courses at home and abroad, I have encountered different approaches to osteopathy that have significantly broadened my osteopathic horizons.

What matters to me
Respecting patients' wishes
The human body is fascinating, with many different structures and functions that are closely interconnected. The emotional situation and personal experiences also play an important role, as they have a strong influence on the body. I therefore design each treatment individually, to support you as a whole person in the best possible way.
A compassionate and considerate approach is important to me — one that allows for relaxation and trust, and in which questions and feedback are always welcome.
Patient Participation
In treatment, it is important to me to involve patients actively. Developing a sense of one's own body, as well as understanding and a transparent overview of connections, makes it possible to find solutions and an individual way of dealing with irregularities or pain. I am happy to take the time to explain the connections between anatomy and physiology in more detail.
Consent and awareness in my work
Every person has had different experiences with themselves and their own body, and knows themselves best. During examination and treatment, a consensual approach is important to me — one in which my patients' boundaries are respected and decisions about treatment are made together.
I am aware that people may be affected by various forms of discrimination and may have had negative experiences in the healthcare system. I try to handle this with sensitivity. If there are any topics or wishes, I am always available to talk.
Interdisciplinary working
I also place great value on interdisciplinary collaboration.
Through numerous observations at physicians' practices and in hospitals, I try to develop a more comprehensive perspective on treatment.
I am pleased about interdisciplinary working and am always open to it.
If patients wish to involve their treating physicians, midwives, physiotherapists, or occupational therapists, I am very happy to be available for shared exchange or joint work.
