  • Description

    Hotel Manager & Occupational Therapist

    I truly love working with people!

    My background is in hospitality and everything that comes with it — from reception and housekeeping to supporting business events and providing high-end service. I always enjoyed creating welcoming spaces and memorable experiences for guests.

    At some point, I felt the desire to do work that was even more heart-centered, which led me to train as an Occupational Therapist. Over the past six years, I have worked closely with people of all ages in various fields such as neurology, geriatrics, pediatrics, and psychiatry. Together, we improved daily life, strengthened independence, and supported each person’s ability to actively participate in life. Becoming an occupational therapist was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

    I especially loved working with children — both in kindergartens and private practice — helping them build confidence, independence, and a sense of self-efficacy in their everyday lives.

    Over time, I discovered what truly lights a fire within me: the field of mental health and psychiatry. I specialized in bodywork, emotional processing through the body, massage and fascia work, breathwork, meditation, consciousness, and nervous system regulation. My passion is helping people regulate and reconnect with their nervous system through simple techniques, hands-on treatment when appropriate, and empowering them to support themselves.

    My strengths include empathy, organizational skills, adaptability, and a positive, open-minded attitude.

    I speak German, Russian, and English fluently.

    Besides my professional background, I absolutely love cooking (especially vegan food), spending time in nature, and traveling. I am curious, motivated, and always happy to learn new things. I enjoy being part of a team, contributing actively, and creating meaningful experiences together.

    I’m looking forward to getting to know you!

    Warm regards,
    Kristina
