Dipl. TCM-therapist TCM-FVS

During my long-term employment as a registered nurse HF at the children's hospital Zurich I have learned a lot about illness and health as well as gained experience in the collaboration with children and parents. With my education as a therapist in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) I could widen my medical perspective. The methods of TCM allow us to tackle the source of illness and imbalance in the body and break the cycle of recurring disorders. As the mother of three children (2016, 2019, 2019) it is highly important to me to recognize and understand imbalances, especially in children, and to treat them at their roots. My knowledge in western medicine helps me in my activity as a TCM therapist. I appreciate the interdisciplinary collaboration with physicians and therapists from different fields of expertise and I am eager for professional exchange.

In my practice I interact respectfully with women and children and comply with the EACH-Charta  (Eropean Association for Children in Hospital).

I am delighted that a growing number of parents decides to let Traditional Chinese Medicine accompany themselves and their children. The capabilities of TCM are excellent both in pediatrics as well as gynaecology.
