​
I am a trained psychologist, a professional practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Naturopathy. I have always had an affinity for the powerful healing capabilities of medicinal herbs and the holistic approach of oriental medicine.
​
TCM is a treasure passed on by the wisdom of a culture that cultivates balance, awareness and harmony. I use this and other disciplines like: Naturopathy, Meridian Yoga and Humanist Astrology to offer a comprehensive approach to health and wellbeing.
​
​
Self-knowledge and empowerment through self-diagnosis are the pillars of my practice. I train my clients to take care of themselves and enjoy the body in which they live through a conscious, enriching and invigorating path towards well-being. Following the chinese principle of shenming (“spiritual glow”), my goal is to inspire others to practice personal care and awaken their own healing potential.
​
In recent years I have specialized in the wonderful world of women's health. I love how TCM honors and celebrates the cycles of women's lives!
​
Menstrual difficulties, fertility problems, prenatal and postnatal symptoms, and preparation for childbirth are my specialties. It is a privilege to be able to accompany women to the birth they want as well as throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Whether they wish to follow TCM as a single therapy or in combination with assisted reproduction technology (IUI and FIV), my desire is to turn pregnancy into a journey of personal empowerment.
My aim is to help women take responsibility of their own health by encouraging them not to accept their symptoms as "normal”. TCM sees the changing seasons of women's lives as natural transitions and supports us through them: menstruation, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and menopause. We can recover our inner wisdom by tuning into our cyclical nature and celebrating it as a source of power!
It is a pleasure to accompany my patients' cycles and guide them on their own therapeutic journey towards a life that is not just healthy but also harmonious!
​
I strongly believe that the discoveries each person makes regarding their own personal wellbeing will benefit the health and wellbeing of future generations.
