Alja originally trained as a physiotherapist in Germany and worked for many years in a neurorehabilitation center, where she specialized in working with babies and children.
Before starting her osteopathic studies, she worked as a lecturer at Bobath in parallel with her professional life, again specializing in young people.
For over ten years, her osteopathic work has focused entirely on the treatment of babies and children, as well as pregnant women.
In addition to her practice in Freiburg, Alja currently teaches pediatric osteopathy and the treatment of pregnant women in preparation for childbirth at several international osteopathic schools.
She also teaches osteopathy to students and at post-graduate level.
