Born and raised in a tucked away little village in Upper Austria called Liebenstein, I was taught the power of nature, plants and foraging at an early age.

I graduated from the German Sports University in 2008 from a Masters of Science in Physiology and Rehabilitation (I am accredited and certified in Canada). Part of my school career involved extensive research in exercise and cancer. I was about to pursue a PhD program.. but travelling in Canada’s west and north landed me a position with the City of Whitehorse, Yukon where I became a permanent resident and lived for 8 years.

I knew I wanted to deepen my knowledge in manual therapy beyond my extensive rehabilitation and physiology education. During my schooling I worked within the Yukon Territorial Government for Health and Social Services, Care and Community branch, where I applied my knowledge of Rehabilitation and Prevention in varied pathologies (Chronic Disease, Neurological Disease, Cardiac Disease). Osteopathy was a profession I always was exposed to growing up. Fascinated by the deep knowledge of the muskolo skeletal system, the organs, the cranio-sacral complex, the nervous system and fluid flow, I was excited to start my schooling within the Canadian School of Osteopathic Manual Practice in Vancouver in 2013. Since day one I was practicing as a student in a clinic in Whitehorse to apply my knowledge immediately. I have completed the five year course work in 2018 and I defended my thesis in April 2019, to obtain my DOMP. Interested by what Osteopathy can give to a person, I am researching how Osteopathic Manual Therapy can help people who are diagnosed with PTSD and who have symptoms of PTSD.

I have a passion for finding the cause of what is preventing the person to express its true self and health. I have worked with newborns, infants, athletes, office-enthusiasts, adults, youth… Osteopathy really has no limit on who it can help.
