Ihre Werke erforschen, wie aus den „schönen Umwegen“ des Lebens und Widrigkeiten unschätzbare Geschenke gewonnen werden können. Durch Theaterstücke, Musicals und Kunst untersucht sie Themen wie Heilung, persönliches Wachstum und gesellschaftlichen Wandel. Oestreicher setzt sich für Inklusion ein, gibt marginalisierten Stimmen Raum und fördert die Kunst als wesentliches Werkzeug für Selbstentfaltung und Gemeinschaftsbildung.
