Born in Germany to a Kiwi mother and a German father, I moved to New Zealand as a baby and have called it home ever since. I consider myself a Kiwi, and my life’s path reflects the spirit of New Zealand—connected to nature, thriving on freedom, and constantly in pursuit of growth.

From a young age, I was immersed in a world of health, nutrition, and active living. My mother founded New Zealand’s first organic store, instilling in me the importance of nourishing our bodies naturally. Both of my parents believed deeply in living according to their values, nurturing my respect for the principles of health, vitality, and resilience. These early lessons stayed with me, even through the hardships I faced. When I was 12, I lost my mother to cancer, and my father passed away just five years later. These profound losses taught me how precious health is and fueled my commitment to helping others avoid preventable illness and seize life fully.

In my late teens, I began to shape what I now call the Full Health approach—a comprehensive method to maximize both healthspan and performance. Rooted in evidence-based practices, Full Health addresses every aspect of wellness, recognizing that achieving your potential requires a blend of vitality, mental clarity, and sustainable, balanced strategies that align with who you are and where you want to go.

Shortly after completing my Master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Science in 2008, I moved to Finland to be with my Finnish girlfriend, now my long-term partner and mother of our two boys. Finland has been my home ever since, and I’ve continued to develop my coaching career here, working with clients from all walks of life to help them achieve a balanced, fulfilling life. Through Full Health, I aim to empower people to live fully and perform sustainably.
