Mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy mind in a healthy body): Wellness for Body, Mind and Soul
The first session lasts approximately 90 minutes. During this appointment, we discuss your concerns, medical history, current situation and treatment goals.
The assessment may include observation of the tongue and pulse according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Complementary methods such as Ryodoraku and the Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer (Q.R.M.A.) may also be used when appropriate.
Based on the information gathered, we prepare an individual treatment plan suited to your needs, constitution and stage of life.
Holistic approach
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a health concern is not viewed in isolation. The body, emotions and physiological functions are interconnected and continuously influence one another.
Treatment therefore focuses not only on relieving symptoms, but also on understanding the imbalances that may contribute to the development or persistence of your concerns.
By considering the relationship between organs, meridians, emotions and lifestyle, we can offer more individualised care aimed at supporting balance, well-being and quality of life.
