A medical perspective — and someone who has lived it.

Chronic Fatigue & Long Covid Consultation

Helping people navigate Long COVID, ME/CFS, and related chronic illnesses through physician-led medical guidance and nervous system–informed consultations — based in Berlin, available online worldwide.

Pilot programme

Currently offered free of charge.

I'm piloting a new consultation concept and would like to test and refine it before setting a price. For a limited time, all consultations — single sessions, ongoing work, and home visits in Berlin — are offered free of charge in exchange for your honest feedback.

About

Two perspectives in one practice.

My medical background lets me actually meet you where you are: I can read your history and your labs, understand the medical picture you're bringing in, and tell you which specific diagnostics and specialists you should still see — and what needs to be ruled out — before any chronic-fatigue-specific therapy makes sense.

I also spent two years severely ill myself. What brought me back wasn't another pill — it was a holistic, nervous-system focused approach that takes the body and the psyche seriously, together. I now bring both sides into every session.

Who this is for

People navigating complex, chronic conditions.

  • Long Covid
  • ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Chronic Lyme disease
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Chronic pain
  • Burnout
  • Persistent anxiety

This consultation may be helpful if you:

  • have persistent symptoms following COVID-19, another infection, or an otherwise unexplained chronic illness;
  • are living with Long COVID, ME/CFS, or a related condition;
  • would like help understanding your symptoms and the current medical evidence;
  • are looking for a structured, individualized approach that combines medical guidance with nervous system–informed recovery strategies;
  • are unsure whether your diagnostic work-up has been sufficiently comprehensive or which specialists to consult next;
  • would benefit from discussing which additional investigations may be appropriate to rule out other medical conditions;
  • want support in developing a realistic, personalized plan for moving forward.

The approach

Hypersensitive nervous systems can be retrained.

Every consultation begins with a thorough understanding of your individual situation. Together, we review your medical history, previous diagnostic work-up, treatments you've already tried, and the symptoms that continue to affect your daily life. We also identify whether any important investigations or specialist evaluations may still be missing before moving forward.

From there, we work together to develop an individualized recovery strategy tailored to your specific symptoms, circumstances, and goals. My approach combines medical guidance with nervous system–informed principles, psychoeducation, somatic techniques, and practical tools that you can integrate into everyday life.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, each consultation is collaborative. The aim is to help you better understand your illness and build a structured, personalized strategy for recovery.

What a consultation looks like.
