During the last 30 years of my activity in social areas I gained a lot of experience, particularly associating with people suffering from psychological stress.
I graduated my social work studies in Freiburg im Breisgau/Germany. Since 2001 I’m employed in Basel/Switzerland in a residential home for adolescents with learning and other disorders.
My basic qualifications are completed by formations in systemic family therapy and system constellations work.
In the years 2010 and 2011 I served an apprenticeship with Phyllis Krystal. I attach great importance to her method – gradually practiced it leads to more inner freedom.
I’m very glad to offer you with my mobile app “Vital Questions Project” an entertaining way to reflect your life. Account was taken all my experience while working on this project. I would like to extend my appreciation to my partners from media agency kaiser-grafix, who carried out this project in the end of 2011 in treasured, detailed work, a project, which is very valuable and important to me. Re-programming of the app for iOS as well as programming the app for Android was taken over by Matteo Morelli in summer 2017.

Background
We live in a globalised society with seamless information flow, information is processed extremely quickly. We live with permanent online access and always maintain informed on the current news. Times, in which eveerything happenes way too fast and it may easily occur that really essential things in life are moved out of the focus: you and your very own life goals, your personal happiness, the pleasant, the recreative, the quietness.
The modern technologies, smartphones and tablets with all their intelligent applications, do not exclude self-enquiry and reflection. On the contrary: amazing opportunities are offered, like having everything available at any particular time or location. We put some thought into the possibilities of connecting intense thouts about self-awareness and individuals’ own life situation with our mobile smartphones. So the idea was born to create the “Vital Questions Project“.
With the aid of questions regarding different areas of life, deeper insights, thoughts, reflections and knowledge occur. Being the user of this application you take center stage – because naturally you’re the authority concerning yourself. Particularly your abilities and possibilities are brought into focus.
