From an early age, I was drawn to understanding life scientifically. At thirteen, I decided I wanted to become a researcher, believing that contributing to knowledge, especially about health, was a meaningful way to make the world a little better. I followed that path for many years, working in physiology and cancer research during my academic training. Through this work I learned a great deal about how the human body functions. But I also realized something important: science often focuses on disease once it already exists. Yet many aspects of health such as stress regulation, sleep, emotional balance, and daily habits are deeply influenced long before illness appears, and this knowledge rarely reaches everyday life.
This realization led me to shift from purely academic work toward prevention and education. I trained further in coaching, occupational health, mindfulness, and psychology-informed approaches, and began teaching courses, offering workshops, and working as a health consultant. My aim was to translate scientific understanding into practical ways people could improve their well-being. During this time, I also experienced burnout myself. That period changed my perspective. I understood that well-being is not only about knowledge or willpower. People often know what is good for them, yet struggle to sustain it in daily life. Short courses or retreats can be inspiring, but lasting change requires something else: supportive routines, real human connection, and a safe environment over time.
I began to notice the limits of individual coaching. Many people did not primarily need more information, they needed a place where they could slow down, reconnect, and feel accepted without performance pressure. At the same time, turning this work into a purely commercial service conflicted with my values. I wanted to create something accessible and community-oriented, not only available to those who could afford it.
Meeting my co-founders, who shared a similar scientific and reflective approach, strengthened the idea that this should not remain a private project but become a public initiative. This is how Nidrana emerged.
For me, Nidrana represents a space of Geborgenheit, a sense of safety and belonging. Not therapy, not a belief system, and not a performance environment, but a place where adults can simply be present, spend time in nature, create, and reconnect with themselves and others. A place people can return to regularly, close to everyday life. I believe many people lack such spaces in modern society. We have workplaces, institutions, and digital platforms, but very few shared environments that support reflection, connection, and calm without expectations.
Nidrana is my attempt to help create that missing place: a community space where people can pause, regain balance, and gradually build healthier routines together. My motivation is simple: to contribute, in a practical and human way, to a world where well-being and connection are easier to access for everyone.
