Facilitator
Ingrid spent over a decade working in the corporate world in the US before her life took a new direction following her MS diagnosis in 2011. Realizing the corporate environment no longer aligned with her goals, she took time to reassess her path and pursued a Master’s Degree in Integrative Health Sciences. She went on to became a Health Coach for a subsidiary of an insurance company, supporting others in achieving their wellness goals.
After being diagnosed with MS, Ingrid discovered the Overcoming MS Program and began implementing its evidence-based recommendations but faced challenges in maintaining the dietary lifestyle. This experience sparked her inspiration to create the Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis Cookbook, addressing the lack of Overcoming MS-friendly recipe resources at the time.
Ingrid’s journey has been shaped by resilience and a commitment to learning, including valuable insights from overcoming challenges along the way. She now serves as a co-ambassador for the Global Circle of Overcoming MS, providing support for people without a local Circle.
After living in the US for 17 years, Ingrid returned to her hometown of Vienna, Austria, where she lives with her husband and daughter. She enjoys YouTube exercises and yoga videos, walking and recently started exploring pottery.
