When I was younger I travelled a lot. I love(d) visiting other countries and meeting new people. I lived in the U.S for two years plus 4 summers. I was an AuPair in Connecticut for one year then worked in New Orleans at a backpacker hostel. 1989 til 1994 I lived in Britain. I did my B.A. at Lancaster Uni. 1992 I took a year out and trained in Aromatherapy and massage in Scotland while still living in Lancaster. 1994 I returned to Germany where I met my husband and "settled down". For the past thirty years I've been busy being a mum, qualifying in paedagogics, doing youth work, managing a refugee camp, being a school assistent for a young boy on the Autism spectrum. For the past year an a half I have trained again in massage and in Block therapy. I also, and this is becoming more and more important, I am learning about plant and mushroom medicine. I love exploring different kinds of medicines and I love supporting one-to-one as well as in group settings.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love discovering new ways of learning, being creative and watching even the smallest steps in growing and learning in others. I love to share what I know about the healing qualities of herbs and essential oils, special plants and mushrooms and explore this realm for myself and with others.
