In 2010, I completed my studies in work and organisational psychology in Austria. During my studies and afterwards, I travelled to Nepal and India to learn various mindfulness practices by living in Buddhist monasteries and Hindu ashrams. This was a unique experience and has helped to shape my life path.

I then worked for many years as a coach and psychologist in Sydney, Australia. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with and coach the CEOs and teams of global companies such as PricewaterhouseCoopers International, KPMG, Siemens, Citibank and Coca-Cola.

During this time I also co-founded the international consulting company "Frontier Wellbeing" with Christie Little.

 

I understand that every person is unique, complex and multi-faceted and that a truly holistic approach is needed. This has led me to do additional international training and certifications in Biofeedback, Nutritional Coaching, Nature & Forest Therapy (New Zealand), Positive Neuroplasticity Training (Rick Hanson, USA) and Permaculture Design.

​

I am an experienced nature and forest therapy guide, developing renowned Forest Therapy certification courses in Italy, Austria and Germany. I am currently collaborating with the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich and the Medical Association for Preventive Medicine and Classical Natural Remedies (Ärztegesellschaft für Präventivmedizin und klassische Naturheilverfahren, Kneippärztebund e. V. ).

​

I recently conducted a clinical study together with the Paracelsus Medical Private University, Salzburg to investigate the medical effects of being close to nature. The results are very promising. My latest book "Wald tut gut - Stress abbauen, Wohlbefinden und Gesundheit stärken" is available in German and published by AT Verlag.

​

To further my personal and professional development, I have now begun a multi-year Gestalt training at the Institute for Integrative Gestalt Therapy Würzburg (IGW).
