About me
Since 2003 I have accompanied women in my own practice – from check-ups and hormonal questions to fertility – and, for over 30 years, women and men with acupuncture. My path led from the Charité via university hospitals and a Berlin IVF clinic to Mexikoplatz. What drives me: medicine that sees the whole person.
Specialist in gynaecology and obstetrics
My focus is endocrinology and reproductive medicine – hormone medicine and the treatment of unfulfilled desire for a child. In addition, I hold qualifications in acupuncture, homeopathy and psychosomatic medicine. This combination is no coincidence: I am convinced that naturopathy can do more than conventional medicine gives it credit for – and that conventional medicine has its place where it is really needed.

My philosophy
The philosophy of holistic medicine is to address body, mind and soul. Today’s conventional medicine concentrates almost exclusively on the body; the psyche receives little attention. It has lost much of its respect for the inner healing mechanisms of the human being and tends towards overtreatment – to the point where therapy makes it impossible to activate one’s own healing powers.
“Of course physical treatment is important. But it must be in balance with the emotional and spiritual concerns of the person affected.”
– Dr O. Carl Simonton
That is why holistic medicine is at the centre of my work – homeopathy, bioresonance, acupuncture, nutrition. As a medical specialist I use conventional medicine purposefully and sparingly. My guiding principle: as much as necessary, as little as possible. I take time for the conversation, explain findings clearly and decide together with you.
Acupuncture since 1987
Acupuncture has accompanied me since 1987 – for over 30 years – in gynaecology as well as in the treatment of addictions. I offer weight reduction with the Schlüsener method and smoking cessation as a separate area for women and men. The good experiences of my patients get around – many come on recommendation.
I look forward to welcoming you to my practice.
