Author and Therapy Developer Born August 3, 1944, Gabriele Mayer brings decades of experience in occupational therapy, research, and concept development. Trained between 1982-1985 in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, she began her career at Parkstift St. Ulrich in Bad Krozingen, where for seven years she supported a senior community of 250 residents.

Her work integrates professional disciplines of functional, sensory-motor, cognitive, psychosomatic, and social reintegration therapies-always with a human-centered, individualized approach. She has also held continuing education courses and lectures for medical professionals in Freiburg, Kassel and other locations, including continuing education in the nursing field in Freiburg with practical guidance and in Stuttgart.
