From an early age, I was interested in biological and biochemical processes, how diseases develop, and what solutions there are. I was fascinated by holistic approaches and understanding the origins of illness and health.
After training as a pharmaceutical technical assistant, I went on to obtain a doctorate through adult education. My mind was satisfied, but my question of how the human system can become unbalanced in a holistic sense remained unanswered.
After the birth of my children, I reconnected with my feelings and decided to make a U-turn and return to nature, plants, herbal medicine, and holistic healing.
My scientific training now serves the field of plant medicine, helping people understand how powerful plants are and how infinite the possibilities for healing through them are.
