Certified Lymphedema Therapist,
CLT - LANA®
As a therapist I treat people, not conditions. My preferred tools are my hands which have been trained in many therapeutic modalities over the last 25 years including Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Thai Massage, LaStone Therapy®, Acupressure and Aromatherapy. By choosing to be certified by the Lymphology Association of Northern America® (LANA®) I proudly affirmed my commitment to delivering the best lymphedema care for you.
Through my passion for natural medicine I learned how an integrative approach to health can help to live a youthful and long life. I have since dedicated my life to educating myself and others to embrace a healthy lifestyle and enjoy wellness.
When faced with illness, we strive to find healthcare practitioners with the highest level of expertise. I look forward to working with you on your path to health and well-being.

Spa and Hotel Consulting
I came to naturopathy through the interest in my health, my evolving passion for nature and the fascination in ancient healing traditions. After graduating from the Academy of Naturopathy in Switzerland, I worked for over two decades in spas worldwide as a therapist, writing spa concepts for ultra luxury spas, managing extensive spa facilities and consult for hotels and spas around the globe. Even though the human touch is helpful in a healing journey, plants, nutrition and our individual lifestyle are equally essential to balance physical, emotional and spiritual systems.
These experiences in addition to teaching Spa Business, working with international celebrities, and athletes from the Swiss Olympic Hockey Team have let me to further explore the depth and complexity of many indigenous healing arts. As a Certified Lymphedema Therapist of the Lymphology Association of Northern America® (LANA®) I am honored to be acknowledged as a highly trained expert in lymphedema management.
Now as a holistic massage therapist, I integrate these insights to promote optimal health. I see it to be my humble duty to empower you to learn about your health, explore possible causes of your illness and use the body's innate wisdom combined with the healing power of nature to truly achieve wellness.
You don't always need a plan.
Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust,
let go and see what happens.
