Herbs were always my hobby and passion. Overcoming my own numerous health problems, my science and research-oriented mind shifted – towards alternative medicine. I decided to change and improve not only my health but gradually also my profession. Coming from an Eastern European family that used more herbs than drugs, I recently enriched my herbal experience by studying herbs from all around the world. I am excited to start my own herbal and nutritional counseling practice into which I have integrated also other healing techniques like homeopathy, energy healing and others.
