Tobias Richard

Occupational therapist & owner

Background

I began working in healthcare with an apprenticeship as a healthcare assistant, which I completed in 2013 on a trauma surgery ward at Zurich University Hospital. My fascination with working with and on people, and with the complexity of the human body, led me to train as a therapist so that I could go deeper into medicine. I completed my training as an occupational therapist in 2018. I then gained wide experience in hospitals around the world and in an occupational therapy practice. Finally I decided to set up on my own, so that I could put the skills I had learned and my understanding of occupational therapy to their best use.
