Traditional Chinese Medicine in Estavayer-le-Lac
Training & Experience
A path built over twenty years, between China, Germany and Switzerland.
The record below traces the initial training and the postgraduate courses attended since 2003. Every year, several courses deepen a specific field: acupuncture, classical herbal medicine, gynaecology, gastroenterology, dermatology or manual therapy.
This commitment to continuing education is not an administrative formality: Chinese medicine is a medicine of experience, and both formulas and treatment strategies are learned from more experienced practitioners, year after year.
