In recent years, my own practice and teaching has focused more and more on meditation and qigong - especially the health-promoting aspects of these disciplines. In addition to my freelance work as a Qigong teacher, I am employed at the Katharinen hospital in Stuttgart, where I work as part of an integrative team with cancer patients teaching Qigong, Zen and meditation.
