Peer to Peer - Affected coaching Affected
24 January 2025
Martin Bürgi, certified myPeer Coach
Through support at eye level, as an expert from experience, I would like to provide motivating guidance to find a way to deal well with being affected.
- Resource and solution-oriented
- Clear yet flexible
- Open to new ways and ideas
As someone affected by amyloidosis myself, I know the challenges and questions that arise when receiving the diagnosis. I would like to accompany those affected and their relatives in orienting themselves in everyday life after receiving the diagnosis. Support them in finding a path that helps them deal with these challenges.
For this reason, I was able to train as a certified myPeer Coach at the myPeer Association in 2025.
