About me: My Journey into Massage
As a high school student at 18 years old, my interest in massage began — a fascination with the power of touch and its positive effects on the body and soul. In the beginning, I acquired my knowledge self-taught, reading my first book on the subject of massage.
Upon starting my career at a large corporation, other priorities took center stage, my stress levels climbed, and I developed tension—especially in my upper back and neck. From 2013 onward, I regularly visited the thermal spa for massages to loosen my stiff neck and counterbalance the demands of my workday. When wellness massages alone weren’t enough, I turned to physiotherapy and osteopathic treatments. Through these sessions, I learned a great deal about what truly benefits me—and, just as importantly, what doesn’t.
To deepen my expertise, I completed seminars in 2019 and 2020 at the Institut Wellness in Perfektion in Berlin (https://www.wellnessinperfektion.de/) focusing on Swedish Full-Body Massage and Preventive Lymphatic Drainage. In early 2025, I decided to turn my hobby into my profession and enrolled in advanced training at the SWAV Sport & Wellness Akademie in Berlin (https://www.swav-berlin.de/) where I qualified as a Certified Specialist Practitioner in Massage, Wellness & Prevention. In February 2025, I attended a Foot Reflexology Massage seminar with Dr. phil. Reinhard v. Neipperg (HP) at the Marquardt Foot Reflexology practice in Königsfeld (https://www.marquardt-fussreflex.de/).
I place great importance on customizing each treatment to your personal needs. That’s why I begin with a brief consultation to learn about your current concerns and preferences. My goal is to promote relaxation during the session while also making a valuable contribution to your overall well-being and health.
To maintain the highest quality in my work, I pursue ongoing education and rely on proven methods—most recently deepening my knowledge of Hanne Marquardt’s foot reflexology techniques and applications. Rigorous hygiene practices and strict adherence to ethical principles are second nature to me. I take a targeted, effective approach that considers physiological connections and treats the whole person—not just individual ailments.
My goal is to provide moments of calm through my treatments and help you recharge with fresh energy for everyday life.
