My medical career began in conventional medicine, including rheumatology, oncology, palliative care, and intensive care. There, I realized early on that many people continued to suffer despite receiving guideline-based treatments—because their symptoms could not be explained by physical factors alone. Pain, exhaustion, and chronic symptoms could often only be understood by taking into account the mind, the nervous system, metabolism, and a patient’s life story. However, the systemic time constraints in the clinical setting made it nearly impossible to adopt this perspective. At the same time, I began to delve deeply into nutrition, micronutrients, gut health, and prevention. The birth of my daughter further opened my eyes to complementary approaches such as aromatherapy, which I now use in a scientifically grounded and targeted manner as a complementary therapy. Another key experience was my training in trauma-sensitive, neurosystemic care, which showed me how closely the nervous system, stress, inflammation, and healing are interconnected. My own physical and mental exhaustion while working in intensive care ultimately led to a clear decision: I wanted to practice medicine differently—preventively, cause-oriented, and humanely. In my practice, I therefore combine classical internal medicine expertise with functional medicine, nutritional and micronutrient therapy, and trauma-sensitive support. My goal is not to manage symptoms, but to support people in regaining their strength—for a better quality of life, greater self-efficacy, and healthy aging.
