About us

Three founders.
Three paths. One place.

A former CEO, a health coach with 25 years of experience and a physician. What unites us: the conviction that regeneration, coaching and visionary medicine together are the path to holistic health.

Who we are

Founded from our own experience.

magic places® was not designed on a drawing board. Each of us experienced along the way what was missing: a place where body, mind and lab values are looked at together, in the middle of everyday life.

Christian brings regeneration and coaching, Stefan strength and metabolism, Simone medicine. Together, that is the path you walk at magic places®.

Christian Gröger, founder of magic places®
Founder · Regeneration and coaching

Christian Gröger

The former CEO who tried everything for two years.

For 15 years Christian ran a pan-European digital agency, as CEO and board member, with more than 100 employees in over ten countries. A full calendar, full responsibility and, at some point, the feeling of merely functioning.

Then came two years of searching for effective and efficient regeneration. What was missing was a special place for deep regeneration and change. So he created it: magic places®.

Today he accompanies entrepreneurs and executives who do not want to perform at the expense of their health: body-based, systemic and measurable. In Sursee he is your host.

«Because this place did not exist, I invented it.»

Stefan Damm, co-founder of magic places®
Co-founder · Fitness, health, metabolism

Stefan Damm

25 years of experience in making people more vital, stronger and happier.

For more than 25 years Stefan has worked with people on fitness, health and metabolism. As a certified fitness trainer, multiply certified yoga teacher, hypnotist and health coach he knows both sides: the strength that lives in the body, and the reasons it gets lost in everyday life.

As a father and entrepreneur he knows how full a week can be. From the stories of thousands of people he knows where energy really gets lost. At magic places® he is responsible for movement, strength and metabolic analysis, and in October 2026 he opens the Salzburg location.

«For everything we wish for in life, we need energy, strength and love.»

Dr. med. Simone Rieger, co-founder of magic places®
Co-founder · Visionary medicine

Dr. med. Simone Rieger

The physician who unites conventional medicine and healing cultures into one whole.

For 20 years Dr. med. Simone Rieger studied medicine and healing cultures on three continents: general internal medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, orthomolecular medicine and the microbiome. She worked as a hospital physician, held the integrative leadership of a health centre and has developed numerous complex treatments.

Several private clinics wanted to win her over. She chose magic places®: a place where medicine happens individually, holistically and close to people. With us she is responsible for visionary medicine: check-up, blood values and the personal interpretation, at both locations.

«Uniting medical and healing cultures with love is one of my life's callings.»

Together

One team on your whole path.

Regeneration, coaching and visionary medicine interlock at magic places® because the people behind them do. You do not have to decide where to start. It always begins with the intro session.
