/ about

As a physiotherapist, I combine my passion for movement with medical expertise. In my training sessions and classes, I focus on promoting health, strengthening physical resources, enhancing movement quality, functional strength, and fostering the joy of an active lifestyle.

I am an enthusiastic runner with experience in half marathons and trail running. I am equally fascinated by the versatility and effectiveness of Pilates and TRX, which, alongside strength training, are an integral part of my own training routine.

My Areas of Focus in Training & Therapy:
  • Functional and load-related musculoskeletal conditions, from head to toe
  • Running injuries and running-specific conditions
  • Injury prevention, rehabilitation, and sustainable performance development
  • Training and treatment during and after pregnancy
