Rosie Bachtler

“I love to work for Take The Magic Step because of its focus on wellbeing (Wohl des Menschen). It is wonderful to translate information that can help people develop a higher consciousness about their lifestyle and eventually make changes towards a healthier and fitter life.”

Since March of 2007, the 48-year-old German-born Rosie Bachtler has used her skills as a professional translator to make our English articles in a variety of subjects available on our German-language Web site. From her home near Karlsruhe in Southwest Germany, she stays in great shape by practicing yoga. When she’s not working, Rosie spends every minute she can with her dog, Cleo, who is her favorite and most time-consuming hobby!

How Take The Magic Step has affected Rosie’s life:
“I have made dramatic changes in my eating habits. Now I eat fresh fruits and vegetables—not yet as much as I should, but I am making progress!”
