Learning has always been an important part of my life and work. My education spans audit and accounting, women’s health, nutrition, and coaching—fields that inform how I examine information, ask questions, and develop practical resources for women.
Over the years, I’ve invested nearly CHF 70,000 in continuing education, certifications, and professional training across health, nutrition, wellbeing, and personal growth. My aim is to make that learning useful and accessible through my writing, resources, and support, so women can benefit without having to undertake the same extensive studies themselves.
Below, you’ll find my completed qualifications and training, alongside programmes I’m continuing at my own pace. Their status is identified so you can see what I’ve completed and what I’m still exploring.
