For many years, I was captivated by the fascination for art, philosophy, and history, from Europe through the Orient to the Far East. I was particularly interested in what it means to be human and to be alive. I wanted to understand more about the power and the factors that lead to the phenomenon of healing, and thus, I approached the medical concepts of various cultures.

In 2007, I seized the opportunity, changed my career path, and began studying Shiatsu therapy, the art of healing touch, at the International Academy for Hara-Shiatsu in Vienna.

During the training, the focus was on the study of various nutritional and movement teachings (macrobiotic, five-element nutrition, acid-base balance, fasting techniques, yoga, tai chi, chi gong, kung fu), as well as the extended study in the field of traditional European herbal medicine (TEN).

Integral components of the training included numerous treatments and targeted internships in institutions and hospitals. The goal was to connect Western medicine with European complementary medicine and Far Eastern medicine. To this day, I am enthusiastic about interdisciplinary collaboration and therefore maintain an efficient network with psychiatrists, specialists, naturopaths, TCM practitioners, osteopaths, etc.

Another focus was on building understanding and training perceptual processes, promoting mindfulness, and developing inner reliable awareness. Particularly important was the perception of the invisible existence and power of energy in and around the human body and the work with the effects of resonance principles.

In 2013, I began an in-depth study of human-experienced states of consciousness and their impact on the phenomenon of healing.

How can we change states of consciousness with confidence?

How does a person's consciousness affect stress processing and trauma healing?

In 2014, I started studying the trauma therapy method of Somatic Experiencing.

This opened up a vast world for me in the field of psychoneuroimmunology. To this day, I am fascinated by trauma-sensitive work with people and focus my efforts on supporting people in and after traumatic situations.

My work includes supporting people after or during separation experiences, such as the loss of a loved one due to death, or after an assault, abuse, or dealing with developmental trauma involving the loss of childhood or the experience of abandonment.

Another aspect of my work began in 2018 with an interest in peace promotion through conflict counseling/mediation. Teaching and training peace-promoting communication and providing support to people in crisis situations is of great importance to me.

In 2023, I decided to elevate my perception to another level and have since been studying Psychic Senses and Mediumship at one of the oldest scientifically-oriented schools in this field in London. With this, I am bridging the gap between my fascination with science and my deeply rooted spirituality, which has been a significant part of me since childhood.

From 2023 to 2024, I developed the BIRD TALK approach from all the insights of my life experience and professional work. Since then, I have specialized in these four basic areas of BIRD TALK:

Consciousness Research, Intimacy and Integrity Building, Resilience and Resonance Development, and the exploration of Humor as Magic in the social realm.

The integration of spirituality plays an essential role in this. Since then, I have been passing on my knowledge and experience in BIRD TALK workshops, at the BIRD TALK Gathering, in therapeutic settings, and soon in a book, to interested individuals.
