While studying medicine at the University of Vienna, I made as a patient first experiences with Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Astonished about the successful treatment that I got from my physician, I started to learn TCM.

During the course, my teacher Dr. Baustaedter founded the "Viennese school for TCM". Small classes and lectures once a week made it possible for us to grow slowly into the secrets of Traditional Chinese medicine. We got the chance to understand the philosophy behind the treatment and were getting closer to it week by week.

I absolved my residency in Upper-Austria, where I could start working right after graduation from medical school. After I returned to Vienna, I became a volunteer at the "White circle", an organisation that helps the victims of social violence. I learned to treat traumatizised people successfully with the TCM. Quite a lot of long-term-conditions after an assault can be treated very well using the two paths of psychotherapy and Chinese medicine.
