After spending several years travelling in India and the United Kingdom, I finally settled down in Switzerland thanks to love. The wealth of cultures, lifestyles and views that I was able to gain insight into have had a significant influence on me and made me the open-minded and curious person I am today. As a child, I used to dig for animal bones in the forest, and later I became fascinated by human anatomy and physiology, which then influenced my choice of career. Times of suffering and exposure to the darker sides of life have ultimately brought me closer to the intuitive and empathetic parts of my personality in recent years. As a result, I gained insights that are now indispensable for my work as a therapist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><p uk-sticky=\"end: true; offset: 20px;\">I do not shy away from any topics, no matter how shameful or taboo they may be.
