Focal areas of expertise

Naturopathy

Naturopathic practices (NHP) are a comprehensive healing system that includes a variety of different diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In each case, the focus is on the healing power of nature and a regulative approach. The idea is that the human body normally has sufficient self-healing powers to keep itself healthy and to heal itself in case of illness. The focus is not on the individual symptoms of illness, but on the human being as a whole.

Whether headache or joint pain, stress symptoms, metabolic disorders etc.. - as a naturopath I treat a wide variety of ailments. The main focus is on manual forms of therapy and supporting pure natural products.

Excerpt from my therapeutic treasure chest:

- Massages (classical, connective tissue, foot reflex, relaxation)

- Trigger point treatment

- Pain therapy

- Rejection method

- Lymphatic drainage according to Dr. Vodder

- High frequency treatment

- Phytotherapy

- Nutritional counseling

- Hypnosis / regression

**Sports therapy

Sports therapy deals with the physiology of the musculoskeletal system as well as movement patterns and processes. Both incorrect training and psychological factors can lead to poor posture/function and the various associated complaints. With the help of motor exercises and manual therapies, blockages can be released, metabolic functions improved and ecological balance restored. As a result, general well-being and performance improve. Of course, sports therapy can also be used for prevention - freely according to the motto "prevention is better than cure".

As a sports therapist, I improve muscular imbalances, promote the joy of movement and thus lead to a conscious body awareness. I support sports enthusiasts in their personal training program.

**Relaxation

Being able to let go and relax are the basis and driving force for new things. However, it is often difficult to switch off and relax properly. Apart from sleep, the easiest way to relax, there are numerous other methods of relaxation. The crucial thing is to find the one that really suits the individual. From the bouquet of possibilities I have limited myself to the techniques that are easy to learn and thus to apply at home or simply to enjoy.

Treat yourself to a relaxing massage after a hard day at work or intense competition, or delight others and surprise them with a gift certificate.
