My connection with animals started very early in my life. Since I was a child, animals have always been part of my world. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs and they taught me from a young age how deep the bond between humans and animals can be.

When I was twelve years old, my mother fulfilled her lifelong dream and bought our first horse. That horse is still with us today and will turn thirty next year. He has been by my side through so many phases of my life, through challenges, growth and unforgettable moments. I am deeply grateful for him and everything he has taught me.

In many ways, he is the reason I became an equine veterinarian. Through him I learned that caring for a horse requires much more than simply riding. It is not just about putting on a saddle and going for a ride. Horses require knowledge, understanding and responsibility. Their health and wellbeing depend on many factors such as their environment, nutrition, training and also the awareness and mindset of their owners.

During my veterinary training, I had the opportunity to work in a highly renowned equine clinic in Belgium where I treated many top sport horses. This experience shaped my perspective profoundly. I learned that a horse should never be reduced to a single diagnosis or injury. A tendon injury, for example, is rarely just about the tendon itself. It is connected to the horse’s overall constitution, its management, training and living conditions.

This understanding guided me to look beyond conventional approaches and to see the horse as a whole.

Today, my work is dedicated to exactly that: understanding each horse in its entirety. Its body, its environment, its training, its lifestyle and the unique story behind every individual animal.

My goal is to support horses in achieving long term health, balance and performance through a holistic and thoughtful approach to equine medicine.
