About myself

I have been practising for over 25 years and have learnt different forms of therapy and treatment approaches in Chinese medicine from many Chinese, Japanese, European and American teachers over the years. Based on the various approaches, I take an individualised approach to the complaints and related issues and develop a treatment concept tailored to them.

Each treatment begins with an anamnesis, which includes a lengthy discussion about the person's complaints and life experiences, as well as various diagnostic procedures, such as the classic Chinese pulse and tongue diagnosis and diagnostic procedures from the Engaging Vitality style.

In my treatments, I use Chinese medicine therapies - acupuncture, cupping, moxa, Qi Gong Tuina, dietary and lifestyle recommendations - according to what the person brings to the table and what they respond to best. I treat people of all ages with the complaints that bring them to me. The methods and techniques I use are customised by me. In acupuncture, I work with the well-known needles as well as with non-invasive ‘needles’ (teishin), which are applied to the acupuncture points and meridians without penetrating the skin.
