Where necessary, you will be advised to contact a general practitioner, specialist or other qualified healthcare provider.

All information shared during conversations, sessions, coaching, treatments, intake interviews and case history forms is treated in strict confidence.
Personal data is not sold, rented out or shared with third parties without consent, unless this is required by law.
Where consultation with another healthcare provider is desirable or necessary, this takes place only after the client has given consent.

The confidentiality of personal data remains safeguarded at all times.
I am affiliated with the Collective of Alternative Therapists (CAT) and work in accordance with the applicable code of conduct, quality guidelines and professional standards maintained within the CAT.
This means, among other things:
For me, quality means not only professional knowledge, but also attention, integrity, respect and creating a safe environment in which clients feel heard and taken seriously.
All treatments, coaching programmes, vitality services and complementary sessions within this practice are aimed at relaxation, awareness, well-being and personal development.
These services do not replace medical, psychological, psychiatric or other professional care. In the event of complaints, doubt or medical questions, you are advised to contact a doctor or other qualified healthcare provider.
