Ulrike Staerk

Uli is a well–known Tai Chi and Ikebana teacher in her local community. She served as a staff teacher for ‘Mindfulness for Kids’ at the local Elementary school, where she also led the PTSA art docent program. Before moving to the US, Uli practiced as Medical Doctor in Germany.

Uli always keeps her family on track to spend time on their passions, art, and experiences. She strives to simplify life and follow a minimalist style, although it doesn’t always work. She is a thoughtful food and health enthusiast and the health consciousness for her family. Her views on experiences and passions and ultimately on what really matters in life were invaluable for our books.

After moving to Montana, Uli wanted to have a greater impact on the community. The pandemic presented an opportunity to leverage her medical education, organizational skills, and interpersonal awareness as she took over the Montana State University COVID Testing Center as Site Manager and Team Lead. Additionally, she manages Montana State University’s vaccination program.
