TCM - The Gentle Way

Traditional Chinese Medicine concentrates on the cultivation of Chi, the force that gives life to humans, animals, plants – the whole Universe. While the uninterrupted even flow of the Chi ensures a healthy and pain-free life, blockages within this flow of Energy result in symptoms that often seem to be totally unrelated and don’t disappear despite different kinds of treatments.

The often-chronic symptoms are usually physical, at first – a lingering pain in a particular joint, a chronic sinusitis, or frequent indigestion. Nothing seems to help which finally affects the appetite, the mood, perhaps work performance, even relationships.

Furthermore, different life phases, like menopause, recovery from illness, divorce, moving etc., come with their own bundle of symptoms – physical and especially emotional.                                  

Learning about the energetic background of these conditions, understanding, why the body and mind react the way they do is often the first step to acceptance and opens a new way to moving forward. This is particularly helpful during menopause – for most women, a time of adjustment, of letting go and new beginnings. Incorporating her Adaptation Type awareness and understanding is created, with the respectful aim to adapt to the new needs of body, mind and spirit.

Finally, through nutritional assessment, I am able to determine the ‘inner climate’ of the body – too much raw food will cause fatigue, listlessness, and lack of concentration as the body must struggle to develop Energy, necessary for balanced nourishment. On the opposite side, do you have a lingering sore throat, a dry cough which seems to flare up under stress, feel restless and constipated? By adjusting your diet, the inner balance of your body can easily be re-created. 

Within the first consultation, I will address all aspects of ‘un-wellness’ as the different effects of interrupted or disturbed Chi will manifest eventually in all areas of life. Questions pertaining not only to the obvious pain but also to sleep and nutrition, digestion, and mood changes will result in a clearer picture of the condition. Based on the symptoms above – physical, emotional and nutritional, it is then possible to re-adjust the Energy flow.

Consultations can be done in Person or Online, in English or German.
