Make decisions that make you happy - daily!! Josephine Worseck
About me and my life
|
After completing my PhD in molecular biology (June 2012), it was clear to me that neither an academic career nor a career in the pharmaceutical industry would fulfill me. In order to find a new purpose and to recover from Burnout symptoms that arose due to the exhausting pressure during my PhD, I decided to take a break. I traveled South-East Asia for nearly a year. In northern Thailand I came into contact with meditation for the first time - in retrospect, I am sure that this was the first step in the right direction and towards a healthier future ...
After my return I worked for a biotechnology company in business development (February 2014- September 2017). During these years my desire for more freedom, for more space for development and personal growth grew steadily - but also my courage. I reduced my weekly working hours and completed my yoga teacher training. In April 2016 I founded my own company to teach the relaxation techniques that have helped me to deal better with work-related stress. |

the Healing Power of the ColdI wrote a book about the many benefits of cold exposure!! Currently it is only available in german.
My publisher "Riva" is looking for an interested english publishing group. So if you are lucky there will be a translation soon ;) On Instagram and Facebook I share my knowledge in english.

While she focuses on the feeling in her teaching, there are few people who understand the science behind it as well as she does.
