After 15 years of leadership experience at one of the largest European clinics in Vienna, I am now dedicated to supporting leaders and entrepreneurs who are also under significant pressure due to the additional responsibilities of parenthood. I assist through stress management and self-leadership tools. Furthermore, my expertise in leadership is a significant asset for anyone looking to establish themselves in their career and ultimately achieve the success they envision. This begins with their very first appearance. Originally trained as a radiographer, I spent 9 years working in patient care before transitioning to a leadership role.

Now I have my own business to support people who want to make more out of their lives, especially entrepreneurs and leaders. It makes me proud to accompany others and witness their growth. Inner strength leads to outer strength and thus directly to success
