Becoming a veterinarian has always been clear and undeniable for me. My desire was practically instilled in me through my parents' animal welfare work. Growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and a stone marten, I immediately set my dream into action after graduating from high school and studied veterinary medicine at the University of Veterinary Medicine (TiHo) in Hannover. Since my licensing in 2008, I have been working as a veterinarian in various small animal practices.

The multifaceted field of veterinary medicine fascinated and fulfilled me from the very beginning. Only the approach to classical lameness diagnosis continually posed a challenge for me, as the causes often need to be identified by provoking pain—something that contradicts my ethical beliefs.

Therefore, I began to seek new ways to investigate and treat movement disorders.

With chiropractic, I found a gentler method in which the joints are examined and balanced in a stress-free environment through gentle movements.

During my further training at the International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic (IAVC), I learned that chiropractic is not only effective in treating lameness but also can have a variety of other positive effects on the body.

I found it particularly exciting that chiropractic is not only used therapeutically but also has a preventive effect—an aspect that I often missed in classic veterinary medicine.

These insights led me to decide to additionally offer chiropractic in my own practice alongside my position at the Tierarztpraxis am Steinbach.

As a licensed veterinarian with over 17 years of professional experience, I now combine this gentle manual therapy with solid veterinary knowledge to provide your beloved pet with gentle and holistic care.
