Beyond its obvious health benefits, I consider it a highly effective tool for personal growth and healing.<\/p>\n<p>You can find more details about the yoga part of my journey <a href=\"https:\/\/ashtanga-yoga-plus.de\/en\/ashtanga-yoga\/links-on-the-ashtanga-path\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The path to my current work included the following milestones:<\/p>\n<p>I studied at the Goethe University of Frankfurt, earning a Master\u2019s degree in physics (thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysics) and a Ph.D. in medicine (in the Nephrology Department of the Frankfurt University Hospital). During this time, I worked whenever possible at Fresenius, a healthcare company that was then a medium-sized family business.<\/p>\n<p>After completion of my studies, I spent 16 years as an Executive board manager at Fresenius, which developed into an internationally operating DAX company during that period.<\/p>\n<p>As a top executive, I gained valuable insights into the challenges people face at all levels of an organization. These experiences inspired me to explore ways to support individuals on a deeper level.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving Fresenius, I worked briefly as a business coach and consultant. However, I quickly realized that my genuine interest had always been in supporting individuals in their personal development rather than optimizing their performance within a system.<\/p>\n<p>This realization led to my current work.<\/p>\n<p>I am deeply grateful to everyone I have learned from and those who have put their trust in our work together. A special thanks goes to my family for their unwavering love, support, and patience.<\/p>\n<p>In my private life, I love traveling to other countries, learning new languages, and immersing myself in different cultures. I am also passionate about photography and cherish quiet moments spent reading.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Hero&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;12da50c7-a06b-42e3-890b-5c80fe161088&#8243; background_color_gradient_stops=&#8221;rgba(224,13,111,0.81) 0%|rgba(48,114,201,0.76) 100%&#8221; background_color_gradient_start=&#8221;rgba(224,13,111,0.81)&#8221; background_color_gradient_end=&#8221;rgba(48,114,201,0.76)&#8221; bottom_divider_repeat=&#8221;0.8x&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;f86b26b6-3488-4a34-8829-934561611b0f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;content&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;5d199dbb-8208-4168-8137-e4e7be68a1c3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF90aXRsZSIsInNldHRpbmdzIjp7ImJlZm9yZSI6IiIsImFmdGVyIjoiIn19@[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav show_next=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;dc5a4ccc-f12b-4a31-bfc4-b89310e80950&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m passionate about supporting people to live a fulfilling life.
