From Cologne to Mallorca: Starting Over as a Doctor in Mallorca – Dr Oliver & Miriam Hahn's Story

What happens when a casual conversation at a children's birthday party sparks a life-changing decision?

In this episode, Helen sits down with Dr Oliver and Miriam Hahn, who left their established life in Cologne and moved to Mallorca with their teenage daughter just two years ago. What began as a spontaneous idea quickly became a whirlwind journey involving selling a medical practice, buying a new one on the island, purchasing a unique former rum factory as a family home, and navigating the realities of relocation.

Oliver shares the challenges of taking over a medical practice in Mallorca, the unexpected bureaucracy he encountered, and how his passion for integrative and preventative medicine has evolved into a pioneering approach to neurological health. Miriam reflects on what drew her to Mallorca, the realities of helping their daughter settle into a new country and school system, and why she has never once regretted the move.

Together, they discuss family life, entrepreneurship, international schools, building a social circle from scratch, and what they wish they had known before relocating.

Topics covered:

Relocating from Germany to Mallorca
Selling and buying a business abroad
Raising a teenager on the island
International and local schools
Building a new social life
Integrative and preventative medicine
Starting over later in life
The realities of making Mallorca home

Listen now and discover how one family turned a spontaneous idea into a completely new chapter.
