How it all began:

2013: Back then, I only had one goal: to pass on the joy that I felt and experienced myself as a movement lover while doing sports to my customers through my dream job.

My experiences:

I soon realized that although movement is very important to move my customers forward, it's not everything. I repeatedly invested a lot of time and money in myself and underwent many continuing education courses to broaden my horizons. In addition to many qualifications in the fitness sector, training as a nutritionist initially supplemented my repertoire. During the first years of my self-employment, I supported my clients reliably on a physical level.

There were customers who worked for my concept. They came with back pain, we did exercises and the pain went away.

But there were also customers who came with back pain, we did exercises, other exercises, tried out a lot and the pain remained. Hmmm. That did not satisfy me and I set out to find the possible causes. It was a process that made me realize that the cause of these clients' complaints was not on a physical level.

My development:

In the course of this process, I completed a naturopath course in 2020/2021. Somehow this sometimes didn't feel right for me, even though I was learning a lot. In 2021, something happened in me. I remember how suddenly a voice within me was quite loud and clear. I couldn't ignore them anymore. She said: “FINALLY DEDICATE YOURSELF TO YOUR PSYCHE! ”

I still have a lot of respect for psychotherapy today. Back then, my respect was even greater, and it took me a lot of courage to finally address this issue. I asked the naturopath school whether I could get a taste of lessons with the alternative practitioners for psychotherapy. I was allowed and I was there. I knew right away: I was in the right place!!! That moment: priceless! I came home the evening after the first rehearsal lesson with a grin that couldn't have been bigger. Even after the second trial lesson, I was impressed! I immediately changed courses of study and completed my studies at the Paracelsus Naturopath School as a naturopath for psychotherapy.

And once again I lacked the courage to listen to my gut. I completed my studies with my psychological counselor in mid-2022. There was no need for an oral examination, just a written test, not quite as in-depth as the written examination for the alternative practitioner for psychotherapy. In addition, I had to submit a written project paper to the association to become a psychological consultant. Since I love to write, it was easy for me. I convinced myself that I did not need the examination for the alternative practitioner for psychotherapy through the health department and once again ignored the low voice in my stomach. In 2023 I asked myself the same question over and over again: What if...? What would be different if I had made the alternative practitioner for psychotherapy? Would have, would, bicycle chain...

My bold decision:

At the beginning of 2024, I made a bold decision for myself: I'm doing this now. I collected all the documents and received my confirmation and invitation four weeks before the written examination. I then started studying... — and passed the written exam. Hui! I then had two weeks to prepare for the oral exam. It was sporty because customers, family, household, chickens and cats also wanted something from me. It took a few days after the oral exam until I realized that I had also overcome this hurdle and can now call myself a naturopath for psychotherapy. Amazing, what an exciting start to 2024!

My goal for my customers in 2024

What does that mean for my customers? Since I have been working intensively with the psyche, I am becoming more and more aware of the power that comes from it and how closely the psyche is linked to our body. I have learned methods with which I can find out the profound causes of physical symptoms. Through my experience with my customers, I have been able to recognize that I have a knack for recognizing connections that others do not see.

My favorite customers are middle-aged women who physically suffer from back pain and tension, who have not yet found a sustainable solution and who want to go through life pain-free and full of energy in their second half of life.
