About meRead more

Through my long-standing career in healthcare, I was able to gain valuable experience in general medicine and tropical medicine. Since 2009, I have been working with children and guiding them with great joy and dedication as they grow.

I have been part of Kinderpraxis Wädi since 2011. It is a heartfelt matter to me to empathetically support children and their families and provide competent guidance to parents during their children’s various stages of development.

As a mother of three now adult children, I know many everyday family challenges from personal experience and gladly integrate this understanding into my daily work.

Alongside caring for our patients, I am responsible for billing, practice administration, human resources, and the leadership of our MPA team.

I look forward to welcoming you and your children to our practice and assisting you with warmth, experience, and professional expertise.

About meRead more

Following my vocational training as a healthcare specialist (FaGe), I worked in the healthcare sector for several years and gained diverse experience. Respectful communication, sense of responsibility, and teamwork have always been central to my work.

Since August 2026, I have been working as a Healthcare Specialist (FaGe) at Kinderpraxis Wädenswil. Working with children and their families brings me immense joy. It is important to me to foster a trusting environment and guide our young patients with patience, warmth, and empathy.

As a mother of two children, I understand parents’ concerns and questions firsthand. This perspective helps me support families in everyday practice with competence and a lot of heart.

I look forward to welcoming you and your children to Kinderpraxis Wädenswil.

About meRead more

From 2011 to 2024, I worked as an MPA at Kinderpraxis Wädi with great joy, and I continue to support the team as a relief MPA.

Since May 2024, I have been working at the women’s clinic of See-Spital Horgen.

In 2018, alongside my work as an MPA, I set up my own parent counseling practice. Besides sleep counseling, I teach parent courses on emergencies in little ones (Zwergen-Notfälle) and postnatal recovery exercise classes.

With Emotional First Aid (EEH), I support families whose babies struggle with self-regulation, for example with a lot of crying or with difficulties sleeping and feeding. Every week, I also teach baby massage classes on the mother and baby ward of Spital Affoltern.

I was born in Iran in 1975 and grew up in many different countries. I spent long periods working in hospitals in Mexico and Sudan. For six years I flew as a flight attendant, until our first child was born in 2006 and turned my life upside down for the first time.

Two more children, born in 2011 and 2015, completed our family.

I speak German, English, Italian, Spanish and French.

About meRead more

From 2013 to 2025, I was part of the great team at Kinderpraxis Wädi as an MPA, and I am glad to keep supporting the practice as a relief MPA whenever needed.

In 2016, I completed training as a Therapeutic Magician, which helps ease children’s anxieties during vaccinations or blood draws.

Since June 2021, I have been a certified holistic nutritional counselor (IKP), and in 2023, I successfully completed training as a holistic nutritional psychology counselor. This allows me to provide knowledgeable and sensitive support to children and adults with excess weight, obesity, and eating disorders.

Since summer 2025, my primary role is as an MPA in a specialized clinic for endocrinology, obesity, and angiology.

I practice independently as a nutritional psychology counselor.
