Holistic Health Practitioner

Mind-Body-Coach Safety Retreat

"I experienced Long COVID, ME/CFS from the perspective of a family member – and experienced firsthand how stressful everyday life can be for those affected and those around them.

This experience motivated me to co-found Safety Retreat.

My conviction is: What feels stuck today can be moving tomorrow."

Who is Rolf?

For many years, I developed laboratory equipment as a medical engineering engineer and later worked in aviation.

2020 was a major turning point for me: My wife became seriously ill with Long COVID/ME-CFS. During this time, I felt very strongly how powerless one can feel when there seem to be no clear answers. This motivated me to complete a naturopathic education program and ultimately completely reorient myself professionally.

After my wife found her way out of this illness, our shared passion project emerged: the Safety Retreat Online Program. Today, I dedicate all my strength and energy to this project because I am convinced that our experience and knowledge can provide guidance and support to others.

I recharge my batteries in nature on Lake Constance – by swimming, jogging, or doing yoga.

And the most important thing for me is: No one should feel alone in this situation.

Hello, I'm Doc Jay

Previously , I was a doctor at the University Women's Clinic in Heidelberg - in endocrinology and the outpatient clinic for naturopathy.

Today I run a private practice on Lake Constance with an integrative approach combining functional medicine, acupuncture (TCM) and mind-body medicine.

In over 20 years of practical experience, I have treated more than 3,000 patients. When I myself was...

Having become ill with COVID / ME/CFS, I have personally experienced the challenges of this situation - and this has fundamentally changed my view of chronic processes.

This experience led to the development of the Safety Retreat® program. It combines medical knowledge with self-help and shows how to gradually rebuild confidence and trust in your own body. 🌱

Since the end of 2022, my practice has been a point of contact for people with Post Covid , ME/CFS, as well as other chronic stress syndromes from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

As part of Safety Retreat, I support people worldwide online with my medical and personal experience – just as I would have wished for myself back then.

My wish is that you can feel free and safe in your body again. 🌱
