I support you in connecting with yourself &
bringing your body and mind into harmony.
Our society is shaped by so much speed and stress that we often don't even notice how we — and our bodies — are really doing.
At some point, we no longer notice that we're suppressing our feelings or needs, and we're simply functioning.
And in doing so, we cross our own emotional and physical limits.
Eventually, a moment comes when our body, mind, or surroundings say:
Stop.
In this state, your body and mind aren't regulating themselves:
you're in pain or feeling overwhelmed.
When your inner or physical balance is thrown off — either for too long (like chronic stress) or all at once (like a fall) — your Qi, your life energy, can stagnate and cook itself. So, illness can arise.
You try all your tools, but you just can't seem to find your way back to balance.

You want to learn how to deal with your suffering — or to be able to transform it.
There is no life without suffering.
Suffering is often unjust, painful, and hard to bear.
We come into this world with different possibilities, which help or hinder us in shaping our lives more or less freely.
Certain circumstances make us more susceptible to certain illnesses.
Still, there are aspects we can influence:
how we relate to ourselves and to the world.
Here, our suffering can become a motivation to explore new paths.
Back pain can teach us to feel our body more.
Overwhelm can teach us to set our boundaries.
This is what I support you in:
To give you tools, so you don't have to walk this path alone — to help you learn how to navigate the challenges of today's societal system, to pass on what I've learned about healing throughout my professional and spiritual path, to translate the language of your symptoms, to share with you the possibilities I've had.
I support you with mindful and holistic approaches on a physical and psycho-emotional level, to help you navigate life.
Acupuncture
The stimulation of the needles sets your energy — Qi — in motion.
Your body and mind find their balance.
You discover stillness and strength.
Acupuncture restores the flow of your vital energy — Qi. This energy travels through pathways in the body known as "meridians." Where it becomes blocked or stagnant, fine needles gently dissolve the obstruction. Excess energy is released, as if through a valve. Such blockages and imbalances can express themselves as pain, inflammation, anxiety… By harmonizing body and mind, acupuncture awakens your innate capacity for self-healing.
Acupuncture calms the nervous system and is used to treat a broad spectrum of conditions.
Gestalttherapy
To meet yourself in the present moment. In a Gestalt therapy session, I invite you to pause.
To consciously notice your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations – just as they are – and to come into contact with them.
In a safe space, held by presence and honest dialogue, you are invited to show yourself – without having to pretend.
To be yourself. Just as you are, right now.
Through this authentic contact in the now, your true wishes for change can unfold. Old patterns, that is, unconscious strategies from the past, may surface – and new perspectives can emerge.
You gain clarity, self-trust, and the opportunity to experience yourself in a new way.
Healing begins in the moment you truly meet yourself.
Additional methods that I add into treatments
TCM methods...
-
Cupping
Using a vacuum system, the cups gently lift your skin, releasing tension, stimulating metabolism, and guiding both body and mind into deep relaxation.
-
Moxibustion
Moxa, compressed mugwort, is ignited and gently held over specific areas of the skin. It releases soothing warmth and calming aromas, bringing energy and vitality to the treated regions.

-
Foot and head massages
To deepen your state of relaxation, I complement treatments with foot reflexology massages—which can influence specific areas of your body and gently relax the soles of your feet—as well as head or hand massages. Through mindful touch, the body can regulate itself and find calm and a sense of safety.
-
Mindfulness exercises
Meditation and breathing exercises. Many people lack the tools to cultivate greater mindfulness and self-awareness. Each of us is capable of practicing these exercises. If you wish, I will guide you in meeting yourself—in stillness, and in connection with your breath.
-
Aromatherapy
To accompany each treatment, I select a scent that supports and balances your current state. For example: lemon for increased vitality, lavender for relaxation, or rose as a heart-opening essence.

conscious, nourishing and holistic
For those who already want to know more:
What does a holistic approach really mean?
My therapeutic work is grounded in a deep understanding of the interplay between body, mind, and soul.
The human being is a dynamic system that naturally strives for balance—also known as homeostasis. In this system, everything is interconnected: the activation of your nerves, the regulation of your hormones, the rhythm of your heartbeat, the tone of your muscles, and the thoughts that drift through your mind throughout the day.
Imbalances within this system can arise, for example, through stress that keeps the nervous system in a constant state of high alert, through physical injuries, or through being stuck in learned behavioral or thought patterns.
Our organism develops coping strategies to deal with these imbalances. While these may help in the short term, over time, they can lead to illness and suffering. Since our mind and body are deeply interconnected, an imbalance in one area can also cause disturbances in another. For instance, hormonal imbalances may contribute to depressive moods, or chronic emotional stress—whether at work or within the family system—might manifest as back pain or digestive issues.
I firmly believe that a complex system like our body requires a holistic approach.
The therapeutic methods I offer aim to view the body and mind as a unified whole. Whether you are in an acute or chronic state, I support you in exploring the imbalances and compensation patterns within your system. With creativity and mindfulness, we design a treatment together—this may be a blend of different therapeutic approaches or a focused process centered on just one.
I look forward to getting to know you and to creating a therapy that supports your personal path toward healing.
