"In early 2000, she attended her first German New Medicine lecture. Captivated by this new medical paradigm, she enthusiastically dedicated herself to the full-time study of Dr. Hamer’s revolutionary discoveries. A year later, after extensive and diligent immersion in the available German New Medicine research material, she met and studied under Dr. Hamer who became, and continues to be, her personal tutor and mentor. Since 2002 Caroline is an approved full-time German New Medicine® teacher, giving German New Medicine presentations, seminars and workshops (in English) in several Canadian cities as well as in Europe (in English).
