PT Astrid Schmied, MSc. d.o. PGD WHO, PGD Paed

I am an Osteopath, Physiotherapist, Sports Physiotherapist, have a Masters in Osteopathy and post-grad diplomas in pediatrics and women's health. I am also a undergrad and post-grad lecturer for Osteopathy and have 25+ years of experience as a health professional treating thousands of individuals over the years.

Through sport injuries in my teenage years, I have gotten in touch with the world of medicine and have been absolutely fascinated by the human body and nature's miraculous intelligence ever since. 

Starting out as a physio I soon realized that, to really understand what was going on in the body, I would need to take more post grad training. Trying to find something more holistic I then, more accidentally than consciously, started a 6 year part-time training in Vienna to become an Osteopath. 

This really shaped my career and deepened the insight on rather holistically looking at the human body than adopting the very isolated and symptomatic approach that western medicine uses mostly. 

Along this path as a first-contact health professional, I specialized first in pediatrics and then also women's health and have since developed my very unique approach to holistically combine my extensive medical knowledge and a huge variety of different manual techniques, exercises and accompanying lifestyle protocols to support my clients in their healing journey. 

I strongly believe that the most minimalistic approach can be just effective if it's spot on and that little changes every day will create the best outcome in the long run. 

Women's health and pediatric development are the fields most dear to my heart.  I created this project to help support individuals to learn about their bodies, understand what it tells them and learn to take action in lifestyle choices to transform their wellbeing and help health and wellness professionals support their clients in a better and more holistic way.
