My work today stands at the intersection of neuroscience, medicine, and personal transformation.

I trained as a medical doctor and later completed a PhD in neuroscience.
For many years, I worked in academic research in Europe and the United States, studying the brain, stress, and the biological processes that shape how we think, feel, and adapt to life experiences.

During this time, I was also supervising students, leading projects, and working in highly demanding academic environments.
From the outside, my career was moving forward.
Internally, however, I began to experience increasing exhaustion, loss of direction, and a growing sense that something fundamental was missing.

This period eventually led to a deep personal crisis.

It was a time marked by burnout, insomnia, and a profound loss of meaning.
The ways I had learned to function — through effort, discipline, and understanding — were no longer enough.

What helped me move through this period was not a single method, but a long process that included psychotherapy, body-based work, reflection, and a gradual learning to understand how the nervous system responds to stress, trauma, and prolonged pressure.

Over time, this process changed not only how I lived, but also how I understood change itself.

I became increasingly interested in the space where scientific knowledge about the brain meets the lived experience of psychological suffering and recovery.

My work slowly moved from studying these processes in the laboratory to working directly with people who are going through periods of transition, collapse, or deep questioning.

Today, I work as a coach, guiding people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, often after years of functioning at a high level.

My approach is informed by

• medical and neuroscience training
• knowledge of psychiatry and stress physiology
• years of academic research
• and personal experience with crisis, healing, and integration

I do not see change as something that can be forced through insight alone.
In my experience, real transformation requires regulation, time, and the possibility to understand one’s life in a deeper way.

This is the space I try to offer in my work.
