What are you doing in soma?

I have different tasks in soma.

I mainly work as an Ayurveda therapist. Then I also take care of janitorial work around the house and in the garden. I am also the fire protection officer and the safety officer in soma.

What did you do before? And how did you come to soma?

I completed an apprenticeship as a mechanical engineering technician and worked for this company for 12 years after the end of my apprenticeship. dr

Wolfgang Schachinger has been my family doctor for over 30 years. My wife, mother and sister also work in soma and have previously worked in the health center in Ried im Innkreis. Therefore, even before I started working at soma, I knew what the working atmosphere was like in the company and what tasks the individual jobs would entail. I knew I didn't want to work as a mechanical engineer forever. I had often spoken to Sabrina and Gerda Schachinger beforehand about wanting to change. When soma was built, I seized the opportunity and trained as an Ayurveda therapist. At the moment I am doing the training for integrative craniosacral bodywork.

What is your favorite thing to do in soma?

The most fascinating thing for me is observing the change/relaxation or development of our day and spa guests.

I am still amazed at how positively small and simple Ayurvedic treatments can have a positive effect on the body and mind.

What anecdote do you have from soma?

I don't have a specific story now, but something else that's stuck in my head.

During the long planning of the center, the turbulent construction phase, some relocations, several changes in personnel and a somewhat chaotic and stressful start in soma, we employees had to struggle with all sorts of emotional states. But Dr. Wolfgang Schachinger was always calm and serene personified and was out and about in soma with the widest grin on his face. That always made me feel confident and I still sometimes have to think about it with a smile.

Have you changed your everyday life/your attitude to life through soma/Ayurveda?

I changed the most through my training as an Ayurveda therapist.

Here the professional change was simply very big. Basically, I would say that I eat very healthily, also because my mother is an Ayurveda cook and we are often invited to eat at her place. However, I also do herbal purification and mild drainage at least twice a year.
