Training and background
“I have been learning about sustainable motion since I was 15 years old. Becoming an Academic Sports and Fitness Instructor was the first step in the right direction after doing community service with the Red Cross for 9 months.
These foundational experiences turned out to be the perfect addition to my Physical Therapy studies. Practice is an important part of education. I had the chance to work over 1200 hours in different areas of physical therapy, getting a strong first impression of every day processes in the health field. Through my experience as a self-employed Physical Therapist, I have been able to gain a lot of valuable therapy experience as well.
In addition to ongoing training and education, the active work with my patients helps me to constantly develop, which is very important to me, because in physical therapy you never stop learning.”
