Complementary therapy

The objective of complementary therapy is to support and reinforce the recovery process. Symptoms are considered and treated holistically. The self-regulating abilities of the organism are boosted, and exacerbations of symptoms are avoided. Complementary therapy can also prevent or at least alleviate secondary symptoms of certain diseases.

Complementary therapy uses available resources to initiate new ways for patients to look at their symptoms and deal with them. This approach can help patients strengthen their own recovery capacities and develop better ways of dealing with stress and pain. To this effect, complementary therapy also promotes restoration of physical and mental strength, stability and flexibility.

As a recognised complementary therapist with a federal diploma, I create a respectful and trusting relationship with my clients. As part of the treatment, I use a methodological approach to identify the symptoms as well as previous coping mechanisms and the corresponding resources. Depending on the initial situation, I use body-centred touch, movement, breathing and energy activities to stimulate the self-regulating abilities of my clients. I use targeted self-perception and self-awareness processes to promote resources and new ways for patients to look at their symptoms and deal with them. Implementing solutions and motivation-based readjustment in everyday life is also an important part of my work.

People have been at the centre of my work for many years – as a businesswoman, as a dance and aerobics instructor and, for some time now, as a complementary therapist. Throughout these years, I have developed a holistic understanding of both verbal and non-verbal communication. In addition to my long-standing experience, my craniosacral therapy is bolstered by my broad-based knowledge derived from a variety of courses in the field of manual therapy, body-centred consulting and process support.

I continuously strive to expand my professional skills because I want to gain a better understanding of the human body. It is very important for me to assist my clients exactly where they need my support, because

focusing specifically on the client is the essence of my work.
