About myself
For over 20 years, I have been working as a naturopath specializing in homeopathy, running my own practice with great passion and heartfelt dedication. My international qualification (Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy, Australia) has been officially recognized in Switzerland as equivalent to the higher professional examination. I am registered with the EMR (ErfahrungsMedizinisches Register) and I am a member of the HVS (HomöopathieVerband Schweiz). Treatments will therefore be reimbursed by your complimentary health insurance.
Since childhood, I have been fascinated by the human body and the deeper causes of illness. As the daughter of a physician, I received well-founded medical answers to many of my questions – and yet, I intuitively felt that physical symptoms often carry messages that want to be understood on a much deeper level. My sensitivity and holistic way of thinking continue to guide my work and have both become essential tools in my practice.
My professional path led me through creative detours and a longer life phase in Australia, where I first discovered yoga – and then naturopathy as a course of study. Homeopathy opens up a path for me that deeply connects body, mind, and spirit. It gave me a red thread that links the outer with the inner – a dynamic I’ve always found profoundly meaningful.
At the center of my work stands the human being in their wholeness and uniqueness – with all their experiences, imprints, protective patterns, and their unique inner healing impulse. I support people in understanding symptoms as the body’s language and in resolving the underlying dynamics – so that their vital energy can flow freely again.
I am the mother of two children. In my free time, I still enjoy practicing yoga, dancing, meditating, and connecting with nature. I continue to deepen my knowledge and understanding through advanced training and personal development.
