Your therapist for acupuncture and TCM at Hegibachplatz Zurich

I have been working intensively with TCM since 2009 and have been running my own practice at Hegibachplatz in Zurich since 2015. I have various training and further education, particularly in the areas of pain therapy, psychological complaints from various causes, skin diseases and allergies. In addition, I like to treat digestive problems and gynecological problems. In addition to acupuncture, phytotherapy and Tuina massage, I can also advise you in the areas of nutrition and micronutrients. Studying psychology with a focus on neuroscience helps me to reflect on the concepts of TCM against an additional professional background. Thanks to my many years of experience as a TCM therapist, you can benefit from an established network of health professionals if necessary.
