About me
Meet
Dr Sylvie
I am German-born from the Hessen mountains near Frankfurt, from a family of four girls with the most inspiring and strong mum.
In my 20s I fell in love with Aotearoa and moved here to start a family which includes my partner, our teenager and Choc, our dog.
After some years of moving back and forth between continents, we have settled in the beautiful Bay of Plenty to be closer to our Kiwi family and to enjoy the coastal lifestyle.
“I am addicted to learning.”
I am addicted to learning which has led me to complete degrees in psychology, neuroscience and health science and to run many research projects. I also love sharing my learning through teaching – which often leads to learning from the people I am working with.
“My other passion is movement.”
My other passion in life is movement. When I am not working, I am usually training for a mid or long-distance running event somewhere in a beautiful spot. I also love taking Choc for a walk or exploring a trail with my teenager and partner or some of the many friends I have made through sport.
In my work and personal life, I have been able to witness many times how movement has the power to affect our bodies – and minds.
I look forward to meeting you, getting to know you and sharing my passions for movement and learning with you.
