Animals have accompanied me throughout my entire life. Even during my school internships, I worked at a veterinary practice, as well as with an osteopath for horses. After graduating in 2017, I spent 6 months in Portugal where I worked on a farm primarily with young Lusitano horses that were rescued from poor conditions. I gained incredible experiences during this time, obtaining new perspectives on working with horses and caring for them.
The sense of trust and connection that I was able to build with these horses through patience and intensive work continues to captivate me to this day and forms the foundation of my motivation.
Nevertheless, after my stay in Portugal, I initially decided to pursue a degree in journalism with a minor in economics. With the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I increasingly questioned whether journalism was truly the right path for me. One thing was certain: what has always fulfilled me 100% and is worth all my energy is working with animals. By the summer of 2020, when I began breaking in a young pony, it became clear to me: I wanted to finally realize my dream, which had taken root in my mind since my school internship, and become a animal physiotherapist and osteopath. After completing my bachelor's degree, I decided to start my professional training as an animal physiotherapist at the ATM in late 2020. And what can I say? Now I am working as a certified animal physiotherapist and osteopath, which was the best decision of my life. In addition to therapy, I continue to provide training, offer riding lessons, and assist owners with their dogs and horses in maintaining a healthy and effective training routine.
My goal is to treat each animal holistically and individually, optimize training, and to find the best, long-term-oriented path for you and your four-legged friends.
