I graduated from Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at the Charles University in 1991 with a degree in physiotherapy.
I was very lucky to meet a lot of great people during my studies. Some of them were in my year – people like Mirek Dobeš, Pavel Švejcar, Václav Krucký, Svatava Výletová-Neuwirthová, or Pavel Kolář (in the class of 84′) who later taught us as well.
I am really happy I was taught by Ludmila Mojžíšová and that I got a chance to see her working with patients. Professor Holubářová taught me Kabat’s method on my husband. Professor Janda drilled us muscle function testing and we listened piously to professor Lewit’s seminars. Associate professor Velé was the examiner of my master’s thesis, which I did at his lab on the first posturography machine in Czechoslovakia.
I worked in an eye hospital, at a rheumatology department, at clinics in Prague and Ostrava as well as at a refugee camp in Kurdistan in Iraq where I mainly worked with Yazidi children with cerebral palsy. I collaborate with a non-profit Náš Svět in Pržno where I work with people with mental and combined disability. Wherever I worked, I have met wonderful colleagues which I am really grateful for. I have a physiotherapy certificate and I am a registered physiotherapist.

I then continued with a master’s degree in Healthcare, Medical Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy at the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University in Brno which I graduated from in 2005.
I expanded my experience and education in the United Kingdom, where I worked for 6 years. During that time I had the opportunity to work in a clinical setting, in in medical and social facilities and especially in care homes. I worked with district nurses, doctors, occupational therapists and other specialists as part of the NHS Citycare Partneship in Nottingham.
