My Story

The curiosity on how the body moves and functions has been with me from a very young age. I graduated with honors from the Academy for Physiotherapy at the General Hospital in Vienna, Austria in 1991.

The first three years of my physical therapy career I worked at a major hospital, an out-patient Rehabilitation Center in Vienna, and in a private practice. In the summer of 1995, I moved to the US where I spent the next five years working for the Rehabilitation Center of Rhode Island. My mission is to help you regain function and improve your overall quality of life. Get in touch to learn about my full range of services.

Additional positions I have held include, working at the Bowdoin Street Health Center (associated with the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center), and the Spaulding Rehabilitation Center in Wellesley. Since 2004 I have been in private practice.

What people say

Since I participated in Empowered Relief workshop in March of 2024, I have been listening to the audio file each evening before I got to bed. Right from the start it eliminated my difficulty going to sleep.

Additionally, I use the relaxation response when I feel my muscles tensing up during the daytime. This is particularly helpful at dental appointments because my automatic response is to tighten my muscles throughout the process.

I also created a list of positive activities (My Sunshine list) to reduce negative thoughts. Some are as simple as calling a friend.

In summary, I think the Empowered Relief workshop contains valuable insights and actions to take on a daily basis that improves the quality of my life.

I am very glad that I attended and recommend it highly.
