Experience and specialisation.

I have worked as a physiotherapist since 2006. My focus is clinical lymphology and breast cancer aftercare, with training in the approaches of Asdonk and Földi, pioneers of medical lymphoedema therapy, and specialist lymphology modules at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).

I combine lymphological treatment with Maitland manual therapy, muscle and fascia techniques, movement and exercise. This allows me to address scars, tissue changes and musculoskeletal symptoms alongside swelling.

Where helpful, my many years of yoga experience complement treatment through body awareness, mindfulness and breathing techniques, for example to support you during times of stress.

My personal perspective.

My own breast cancer, subsequent plastic and aesthetic surgery, and the resulting lymphoedema have shaped my specialisation. I know how physical changes can affect everyday life and that not every symptom is visible.

You should feel professionally supported and personally understood.

What inspires me.

What would you like to do more easily again? Whether your aim is less swelling and pain, greater mobility or feeling more comfortable in your body, we work together on what matters to you.

I find balance through yoga and strength training, nature, surfing and time with my dog Nala.
