My story
I want the best for my clients, to see them thrive and make long-lasting changes in their lives. I'm a qualified physiotherapist, nutritional therapist and mindset mentor. All my work is based on research and is scientifically proven. It's the sum of thirty years of professional training and experience in the fields of medicine and psychology.
Today, I show people how to improve their health and take the struggle out of weight loss through my six-month Living Lighter programme. For those with different wellbeing goals, I offer a mindset mentoring service. I continue to learn from every client and gain new understanding and experiences. If you'd like to find out more, why not book an exploration session.

"I realised that traditional, orthodox ways of treatment weren't enough - that I wanted to work more holistically"
My professional career started 30 years ago in Germany, where I trained as a Physiotherapist. I worked in orthopaedics with international athletes and with children and young adults in the neurological rehabilitation sector. Since then, I have worked in Switzerland, where I ran a successful practice, New Zealand and the UK. My beautiful son was born here in the UK and we now live in scenic Budleigh Salterton, near Exeter in Devon.
From working so closely with people over many years, I started to see that traditional, orthodox ways of treatment weren't enough. Patients weren't getting the long-lasting results that I knew were achievable. I realised that to get my clients the results they deserved, that I needed to work in a more holistic way. So I embarked upon a journey of retraining in holistic treatments.
"There is an innate intelligence within us, one which always guides us to mental wellbeing and clarity of mind"
First, I studied acupoint massage (its like acupuncture but without using needles). From there I started to learn more about Chinese medicine and the importance of nutrition for our health. I trained for 3 years in the scientific approach of nutrition with the BSY and started to run cooking courses to encourage people to live a healthier lifestyle.
The more I learned, the more I became curious about the influence our mind has on our overall health. I studied first as an Emotional Freedom Technique Teacher and then the 3 Principle Paradigm Understanding. The latter fundamentally changed my understanding of how the body and mind work together. There is an innate intelligence within us which always guides us to mental wellbeing and clarity of mind. Understanding this and sharing this with my clients has helped them to live the lives they have always wanted.
"I'm fascinated by our ability to self heal; to repair and rebuild from within"
As humans, we have an amazing ability to heal from within. It is this innate ability to self-heal physically and mentally that I help my clients to tap in to. My approach to weight loss is about much more than just food - it's about mindset, mental health, wellbeing and exercise. With my six-month programme, I've developed a course that is both realistic and sustainable. I want people to enjoy learning about themselves and to take the struggle out of weight loss.
"I love empowering my clients, to help them to see that they can live the life they want to live"
I love seeing my clients gain a better understanding of themselves and the life they are living. I show them how to be less judgemental with themselves and to treat themselves with love and kindness.
The biggest joy in my work is hearing the changes my clients have made as a result of our work together. I've helped clients to improve their health, reduce medication and even reverse Type II Diabetes and come off medication for reflux and heartburn.
I just love to empower my clients, to educate them about their health and wellbeing and help them to see that they can live the life they want to live. See what clients have said about working with me in testimonials.
