During my holidays in 2003 I completed a minor diploma in “Thai Traditional Body Massage”. In 2007 I went back and visited the same school completing the certificate in “Foot Reflexology” and in 2009 finished a training with a certificate in “Oil Massage and Aromatherapy”. Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed undertaking these courses and providing massage treatments to my family and friends, I always felt there was more to improving Bodywork.
As I worked for 9 years successfully with Thai Foot Reflexology and had many positive results, I decided to expand my knowledge and study Reflexology in depth at the Oexle’s Gesundheitsfachschule, Zurich and became a graduate Reflexologist (1 year).
From my point of view, the human body must be seen in the dimension of body structure, mind and soul. I am convinced that each individual must be seen in a holistic way. Each element in our body has a relationship to another. Thus, the human body’s interacts all with each other’s element. I especially find the interaction of movement and structure fascinating. Consequently I undertook additional medical training with Oexle's Gesundheitsschule, Zurich and European Rolfing Association, Munich and subsequently became a Certified Advanced Rolfer® (3 years intensive Training).
Following this, in December 2019, I achieved the Federal Diploma in Complementary Therapy (3 years), in May 2021, I obtained the Diploma as a Somatic Experiencing Therapist, specializing in trauma therapy (3 years).
These diverse experiences have highlighted the importance of a holistic approach in therapy. Osteopathy follows a holistic therapeutic approach that addresses the individual needs of each patient. It has an integrative approach that aligns body, mind, and soul and supports the body's self-healing powers.
For this reason, as a Complementary Therapist with a Federal Diploma, I studied Osteopathy for an additional 5 years at the Swiss International College of Osteopathy in Hertenstein. During this time, I received a solid education in structural techniques, Craniosacral Therapy, and Visceral Therapy. This was followed by a 1-year bachelor's program at the Accademia Italiana di Medicina Osteopatica in Saronno, which I successfully completed in 2024 with a BSc (Hons) Osteopathic Sciences diploma from the University College of Osteopathy in London.
I am currently completing the final part of a 2-year master’s program (Master of Science in Osteopathy) at the University College of Osteopathy in London.
Overall, my Osteopathy education will thus total 8 years. I consistently work 3 days a week and dedicate the rest of my time to my studies. I am often asked how I manage this. It is my passion for supporting people in activating their self-healing powers, the so-called "autoregulatory process," and thereby becoming and staying healthy.
