In my practice I combine conventional medicine with naturopathy. For me, this includes not only taking physical symptoms into account, but also treating each of my patients as a human being in their entirety. My goal is to provide my patients with self-directed health literacy that will give them a high quality of life at any age.

About me
As a specialist in general medicine and naturopathy with 20 years of professional experience, I combine a broad spectrum of conventional medicine with various alternative healing methods. These include, among others, the classical naturopathic treatments, acupuncture, homeopathy and bioresonance therapy
As a passionate violinist, composer and singer, I incorporate sound and music into my practice, such as in acupuncture treatments.
The integration of mental factors plays a major role in my practice. My qualifications and continuous education in mindfulness training, psychosomatics and coaching complement my holistic approach.
