Welcome to my website. I am an university teacher and I have been involved in non-profit organizations focusing on health care. I believe that the “who is who” information in this field is quite important so I would like to use this website to offer some data about myself and my work.
I would also like to thank to Marie Unterluggauerová who have encouraged and supported me to create this website to Eva Podzimková and Ing. Jan Tomeš for the website implementation.

About myself:

I was born in 1961, I am married and a mother of four boys
I am a psychologist by profession and I work as a lecturer at the
department of clinical branches of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies (www.zsf.jcu.cz), South Bohemian University, České Budějovice.

My professional focus and activities:

Since 1997 I have volunteered for the Maternity Hope Foundation, a non-profit non-governmental organization seeking to help people dealing with involuntary childlessness, i.e. to those whose desire to have children has not been fulfilled. This work has also inspired my interest in patient- centered healthcare.
