"My heart fears suffering," the youth said to the alchemist one night as they gazed at the moonless sky. Then tell him that the fear of suffering is worse than the actual suffering. And that no heart has ever suffered while setting out to fulfill its dreams, for every moment of searching is a moment of encounter with God and with eternity."
- Paolo Coelho, "the alchemist"

My path to acupressure in Basel
Healing through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
For over 20 years, I worked as a teacher of Italian language and culture. However, my inner path led me to acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Between 2009 and 2012, I completed extensive training in acupressure therapy to accompany people on their path to health.
I'm often asked why I chose TCM and acupressure. There's no simple answer. Looking back, I believe this path was always inherent in me.
Acupressure – A gentle but powerful healing method
Even as a child, I was confronted with illness and suffering in my environment. I began to ask myself: What is the true origin of illness? I realized that ailments exist not only on a physical level, but that emotional and energetic blockages also play a role. This is precisely where acupressure comes in – it helps to resolve disruptions in the flow of energy and activate the body's self-healing powers.
In my search for a holistic healing method, I tried various therapies, including homeopathy, shiatsu, reflexology, kinesiology, Bach flower remedies, and Reiki. But I found the ultimate answer in acupressure combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
My path to acupressure in Basel
In 2008, a friend introduced me to a therapist who combined acupressure and kinesiology. I became his patient and was amazed by the effectiveness of this method.
Acupressure treatment is based on the principles of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and uses targeted pressure points to release blockages. This method integrates various healing approaches, including:
Acupressure and muscle testing to identify energy imbalances
Natural remedies such as Schüssler salts, homeopathic globules, essences and dietary supplements
Anamnesis and energetic diagnosis to reconstruct individual health histories
This holistic approach convinced me, so I enrolled at the renowned Zumbühl Acupressure School in Winterthur. Thanks to the loving guidance of my teacher, Elsi Zumbühl, I was able to gain in-depth knowledge of the art of acupressure according to TCM.
Today, I practice acupressure in Basel with great passion to help people regain their physical and emotional balance.
