About me

… CRISES call for change.

As a qualified biologist (with a focus on zoology and microbiology), I worked in science for almost 10 years. My research area, microbial oceanography, was certainly very interesting, but unfortunately not fulfilling for me. So, in 2015, I took the plunge into the deep end and left my comfort zone: I moved from my hometown Vienna to a small Dutch island. But instead of encountering great luck, I suffered several blows of fate and reached my extreme limits.

During these years of extreme challenges and changes, I had to drastically change my view of life.
I returned to the really important things in life: few but close friendships, life in and with nature, working with animals. I started enjoying the little things in life again.

And I remembered my passions as a child, I dug up my childhood dreams and started realizing them:

I read myself intensively into the field of quantum physics, telepathy, animal communication, kinesiology, energetics, trauma coping and also comfort care, and I attended courses. I quickly realized that my future lay in working with animals, preferably in connection with a health profession. I completed my training to become a qualified holistic animal therapist and started training as a veterinary assistant in the Netherlands, where I am currently living. With the combination of these two professions, a dream of many years will come true and I am happy that I can help so many animals, but also people.
