My training as MMCP lasted just under 1.5 years. This intensive time included studies of anatomy and biomechanics, as well as practice-oriented work: 2 sessions each on 15 different horses including written elaboration (= 30 term papers). The entire process was supervised by experienced mentors and refined through multiple coaching with coaches & instructors. During my training, I worked at the DIPO in Dülmen, where I was able to gain even more experience and to attend courses. Finally, a total of over 50 horses were to be my professors.

I've also got an education as Naturopath:



short bio

It feels like I grew up at equestrian tournaments, as I come from a horse family. As a teenager I was successful in dressage up to the advanced class. However, since I disliked the rising injustice in dressage, I stopped riding, grabbed the double bass instead, went my own way and studied music. A way very alike, but without a teamplayer such as the horse. Years later and richer by all sorts of experiences, I turned back towards the horse, this time as equine therapist.  

By the way, homeopathy has been with me since my childhood. I suffered from neurodermatitis, asthma and chronic inflammation until shingles joined in. Nothing could be brought under control by conventional medical applications. Through a homeopathic treatment, I was able to heal in a very short time. Since then, i.e. for 35 years now, I have been dealing with this subtle healing method myself and - for those who are open to it - I am also active as a homeopath.
