A school for our new world begins with people who are ready to shape it together. Our team brings together different personalities, experiences, and cultural backgrounds – united by a shared educational philosophy.
I love bringing people and ideas together. Exploring different perspectives, staying open to new possibilities, and sometimes questioning familiar ways of doing things are just as much a part of my role as Head of School as making decisions and taking responsibility.
Openness, trust, and a strong sense of personal responsibility are especially important to me in our team. I value people who bring their own strengths to the table, take initiative, and are willing to learn with and from one another.
For me, international connections come to life when people from different cultural backgrounds, with different life experiences and perspectives, connect with one another. When trust, friendships, and a genuine sense of community grow across geographical borders, I feel what unites us as human beings, despite our differences.
I’ve always been particularly fascinated by observing children and animals. There’s something touching about how naturally they respond to the world around them and how freely and instinctively they follow their needs and curiosity.
My loyal four-legged assistant, Chica, is by my side throughout the day. She not only makes sure I take breaks now and then, but also reminds me, in her own special way, how valuable it is to simply be present in the moment.
My Motto
“Everything is connected. The art lies in recognizing these connections and bringing them to life.”
To me, mathematics is far more than formulas and calculations. It describes the beauty and fascinating connections within our world. In nature, art, and everyday life, we encounter patterns, structures, and relationships everywhere – often without initially recognizing them as mathematics.
I want to encourage children to discover mathematics with curiosity, ask questions, and find their own ways to solve problems. My favorite moment is when a child suddenly pauses, marvels, and says, “Now I understand!” That is the moment when an exercise becomes genuine understanding.
For me, this is also an essential part of the heal.thy philosophy: learning should not be reduced to correct answers. Children need space to explore for themselves, understand connections, and develop confidence in their own abilities. Mathematics can be a wonderful key to understanding the world a little better.
Moving to Spain also allowed me to fulfill my dream of teaching independently of location. This step showed me how enriching new perspectives, ways of life, and cultures can be. An international school therefore fits my life beautifully: it connects people, encourages openness, and makes learning possible across geographical borders.
My Motto
“Where imagination meets curiosity, experimentation begins. From these experiences, genuine learning emerges – everything else remains acquired knowledge or mere information.”
I love accompanying children on their journey and nurturing their natural enthusiasm for learning. Every child is unique – and that is exactly how I want to see them. With patience, trust, and appreciation, I want to create spaces where children can explore, discover their strengths, and increasingly believe in themselves.
To me, education is therefore about far more than academic learning. I want children to grow into confident and compassionate people, develop their own personalities, and experience that their ideas, abilities, and individuality can make a difference. This is exactly where I connect with the heal.thy philosophy: seeing children as whole people, respecting their individuality, and preparing them not for someone else’s path, but supporting them on their own.
My years abroad have also had a lasting influence on the way I see children, education, and community. I lived and worked in the United States and Mexico and experienced how naturally different languages, cultures, and perspectives can coexist and learn from one another. Through these years I became fluent in English and Spanish, and I now bring this international perspective naturally into my work.
My Motto
“A good teacher does not prepare students for the teacher’s path, but for their own.”
For more than 40 years, I have worked with very different children and young people. From young people facing particularly challenging circumstances to those we might call “completely normal” – whatever that may mean – I have encountered a wide range of groups. I have learned from and with all of them. At the same time, many people have accompanied me on my own journey. Over the years, these experiences have shaped an approach that eventually led me to heal.thy SCHOOL, where I recognize many similar values.
For me, education takes place on several levels of our existence: in the mind, the heart, and the body. Cognitive, emotional, and physical education belong together. This includes nutrition and enjoyment, movement and health, as well as all the areas where these levels overlap. Writing is a beautiful example: it can combine thinking, feeling, physical expression, and creativity at the same time.
I want to share knowledge and attitudes with children and young people in a way that is joyful yet challenging, while giving them as much space as possible to discover and develop things for themselves. Learning happens when we enter new territory. At the same time, we need a safe environment in which we can pause, reflect, and make sense of our experiences.
I am particularly interested in how our psyche works and in the interaction between cognition, emotion, and the body. I am fascinated by what this can teach us about learning, development, and creating a life and environment worth living. Another major area of interest for me is art and aesthetics and the ways they affect us.
Internationality has been part of my life since childhood. I come from a family in which three languages were spoken simultaneously at times: German, Hungarian, and BCS. I speak, read, and write German and English fluently and, through longer stays abroad, have also acquired basic knowledge of Hungarian, Greek, and Bahasa Indonesia. Southern Crete, West Sumatra, and Hungary are places where I have learned to adapt to different cultural, religious, culinary, and social customs.
Experiencing these different realities has made it increasingly impossible for me to regard any single one of them as the one “true” reality. The opposite might occasionally be easier – but certainly less interesting.
My Motto
“Pleasure – in the Epicurean sense of joy – and insight. All well and good!”
For me, art is inseparable from life. It grows from nature, aesthetics, and our ability to notice beauty in everyday moments – in the colors of a sunset, the structure of a leaf, or the feeling of wind on our skin. Especially in an increasingly digital world, I believe this conscious awareness is a valuable and necessary resource.
In my work as an art therapist, I invite children and young people to rediscover access to their own creativity and to the beauty of nature within and around us through image, language, and sound. I want to offer experiences that engage all the senses and create spaces where strength, expression, and connection can emerge. This is exactly where I find myself in the heal.thy philosophy: it gives us the freedom to weave the essential things in life naturally into everyday school life.
Travel is one of my greatest sources of inspiration. New countries bring new impressions, and immersing myself in other cultures, landscapes, and stories continually opens new perspectives for me. I have now traveled across five continents and gathered a rich range of experiences along the way.
I am equally fascinated by the diversity of languages – their sound, expressive power, and the worlds they open up. This fascination has led me to engage deeply with language and intentionally incorporate it into creative processes. For me, art, nature, language, and human connection ultimately belong together: they allow us to perceive the world – and ourselves – anew.
My Motto
“Panta rhei.” – Everything flows. You cannot step into the same river twice.
Throughout my life, one question has always fascinated me: “What do people need to truly become themselves?”
My journey began as a teacher, working especially with children with special needs. Early on, I realized that every child experiences, feels, and learns differently – and that these differences deserve to be understood rather than corrected.
This understanding led me to explore high sensitivity, a subject I dedicated many years to. I supported parents in understanding their highly sensitive children, offered coaching, and wrote a book to share my insights and experiences.
Later, as a Shiatsu practitioner in my own practice, I explored the deep connection between body, mind, and soul. I accompanied people on their journey back to themselves – learning to listen to their bodies, reconnect with their feelings, and trust their own inner wisdom.
My work as a funeral celebrant opened yet another perspective on life. For many years, I listened to people’s stories, witnessed love and loss, and explored the meaning of grief, which eventually inspired me to write another book.
All these experiences have shaped one fundamental belief: “Life is constant change. And growth begins when we allow ourselves to embrace it.”
This is also what connects me to the philosophy of heal.thy SCHOOL. I believe education should do more than prepare children for exams. It should help them discover who they are, recognize their potential, and develop the confidence to follow their own path.
Beyond my professional life, I am the mother of two grown children and a passionate traveler. Discovering new places, cultures, and perspectives continues to inspire me. Today, I live in Cyprus with my husband, our dog, and our cat, enjoying the freedom of a life that keeps evolving.
My Motto
“Happiness is a moment. Many moments make a life.”
