“As a fertility specialist, I discovered the importance of a personal, sensitive and informative support for reproduction. Through the experiences of my patients and the experience I have gained over time, I have realized, how complex and yet simple human reproduction can be. I have been able to develop this awareness through Traditional Chinese Medicine: the science of relationships, balances and transformations. It is my most important tool for analysis and intervention, to which I combine knowledge and experience in fertility enhancement from other fields. I believe in an integrative approach in which the lines between conventional and alternative medicine disappear to form one medicine: the medicine of the individual."
