About

Integrative medical doctor

My work sits at the intersection of medicine, psychology, and transformational practice, and is shaped as much by lived experience as by professional training.

I trained and worked internationally as a physician, including in New Zealand, Ireland, and Germany and as a consultant for the World Health Organisation in Geneva. Those years gave me a strong integrative, systems-based lens on health — one that looks beyond symptoms to meaning, context, trauma, and personal agency.

I’m deeply interested in how bodies speak, how stories shape healing, and how people make sense of what’s happening to them.

Alongside clinical medicine, I’ve spent many years navigating different healthcare systems — both professionally and personally.

This has given me an intimate understanding of what it can feel like to be a patient: the vulnerability, the power imbalances, the moments of rupture, and the quiet resilience required to keep advocating for oneself.

Author

I’m currently writing a book — a self-help guide exploring how to reclaim your health within modern healthcare systems through an integrative medical lens. The book brings together clinical insight and lived experience, offering a perspective that moves beyond symptom management toward meaning, context, and the possibility of deep, sustainable change.

Drawing on both my work as a physician and my own lived experience with complex health challenges — including the genetic connective tissue condition hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), often accompanied by mast cell–related and inflammatory presentations, as well as a past experience of autoimmune seronegative spondyloarthritis — the book reflects my belief that healthcare works best when people are supported to become informed, resourced, and actively engaged in their own process.

Alongside medical insight, it explores how deeper personal transformation and integration can become part of a meaningful and sustainable healing journey.

Founder of Wild Woman Reborn

I’m also the founder of Wild Woman Reborn — a growing platform and body of work offering workshops, courses, and longer transformational journeys individually and in community, both in Berlin and online.

These spaces explore themes such as identity, purpose, power, desire, boundaries, healing after rupture, and the integration of feminine and masculine inner forces.

They are experiential, grounded, relational and carefully held — inviting depth without bypassing, and transformation without force.

Coach & Group Facilitator

In recent years, I’ve expanded into professional coaching and facilitation. I trained with Animas in the UK, an International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited pathway towards becoming an Associate Certified Coach (ACC).

My work draws on attachment theory, analytical psychology, trauma-informed practice, and embodied approaches to change — always with an emphasis on partnering, consent and saftey.
