Welcome! 

Working for 26 years as a pharmacist, also at hospitals in Germany (wound and scar management, Lymphatic Drainage), I learned that medication is important, but often overstated. Because I was always driven to help people, I constantly studied and practiced other options to improve one's health and well-being. In 1998 I became a Natural Health Practitioner and later in the US an LMBT.

Being an advocate of an active and healthy lifestyle, I have a holistic approach and I am looking forward to supporting you in your healing process.

The easiest way is to schedule your appointment online under "Hours And Scheduling". Please be aware my office entrance is not wheelchair accessible.

Packages are at the bottom of the menu. After the purchase, you can "redeem" them with the green button on the top left. Please do not book more than 1 unpaid appointment.

Lymphatic Drainage was originally developed in the 1930s by Estrid and Emil Vodder in Germany. It relieves discomfort and painful pressure of retaining fluid in the body. Cosmetic procedures such as tummy tucks and liposuction disrupt the natural pathways of the lymphatic system and cause the greatest amount of swelling. LD also helps to minimize scar formation. It is highly recommended to recover faster after any type of surgery, joint replacement or procedure and diseases (e.g. Lymphedema, Lyme, parasites) which cause swellings in any part of the body.

A proper working lymphatic system is essential for draining fluids, removing metabolic waste and toxins from the connective tissue.

For most post-surgery clients 3-6 treatments are recommended depending on the recovery process. Most patients can begin LD on day 3 after their surgical procedure, but please always follow the recommendation of your surgeon.

Cranial Sacral Therapy is a manual therapy with a light touch that releases tension deep in the body. It can relieve pain and dysfunction and improve overall body health and well-being. Although our bodies are made of countless individual parts, all these parts are interrelated and function together as an integrated whole. This requires effective communication and coordination of the cells and nervous system.

A gentle touch allows the body to relax and rest in a parasympathetic state - the body's rest, digest and repair state of being. This helps us to manage the stresses of life and supports the self-healing, self-regulating activities of the body.

CST can help e.g. with Migraines, TMJ disorders, Stress, Trauma and can often complement or improve the effectiveness of other interventions.

Integrative Bodywork - depending on your needs, on your first visit we will talk and make a decision what kind of therapeutical work would be best for you. I will give you some guidance, what can you do for yourself to recover faster and get stronger.

I am certified/trained in several treatment techniques such as, e.g. Cranial Sacral Therapy (incl. SER), Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Scar treatment.
