Alina Ruge is a Bachelor’s Psychologist and currently a Master’s degree student of Neurocognitive Psychology in Oldenburg, Lower-Saxony, Germany. In the time between Bachelor and Master, she worked for one year in an outpatient care facility for people with psychological disorders, who were experiencing troubles managing their everyday lives.

She is interested in finding healthier and more efficient ways of treating people with psychological and neurological issues and in the mechanisms and potential of influencing brain chemistry with compounds that the human body had been in contact with for millennia (in the case of e.g. DMT containing drugs, psilocybin or mescaline). She believes we are experiencing a turning point in professional health care, which can be of benefit for many and she feels proud to play a small role in this process.
