Alexandra, Austria

After finishing my training at the Tourism School, I worked with airlines and travelled to the USA, Paris, Munich and Kos. After returning to Vienna, I got married, had 3 children, and switched to working in 5-star hotels. Then in 2013 my life was turned upside down. My father died, followed less than 3 years later by my mother. It pushed me to change career and enter the health sector, starting with Raindrop Aromatherapy and training in Cranio-Sacral Therapy before becoming a certified medical masseuse. Balancing training, childcare and work wasn't always easy and I often pushed myself to my limits. Since December 2023, I've been living my dream as a freelance massage therapist running my own business. I've realised that my uniqueness is key to my success. I trust myself and focus on what's important. Don't compare yourself to others! Be yourself, be authentic, be brave.
