I grew up in Germany and began my physiotherapy career working in private practice at University Nurnberg in a rehab hospital in the Black Forest. I moved to New Zealand in 1999 and after gaining experience at Timaru Hospital and in Older Persons Health in Christchurch, I joined the You First Physio team in 2007. My clinical background is broad, covering orthopaedics, neurology, psychiatry, amputee care, and acute rehab.

I have a particular interest in treating back and upper limb injuries, where I focus on hands-on techniques like myofascial release and trigger point treatments alongside exercise prescription. In 2019, I also completed my Yoga Therapy Teacher training to incorporate more holistic elements into my practice.
