Individual Mentoring
Do you need to complete the M7 mentorship of OdA AM TCM and at the same time would like to build on your own strengths to become a confident TCM practitioner who practices Chinese medicine with clarity and enjoyment?
As an experienced teacher and TCM practitioner, I offer individualized and supportive one-on-one mentoring. My mentoring is geared towards TCM practitioners at the beginning of their acupuncture practice who are looking for more guidance, want to deepen their understanding of Chinese medicine, and gradually build greater confidence in their clinical work.
Fee: 140 CHF per hour
If you feel you would like to have me by your side for a longer stretch of your journey, I am happy to offer a pricing structure that supports this continuity. Beyond our scheduled sessions, I am happy to support you as needed. For travel or detailed phone inquiries (exceeding 15 minutes), time is billed proportionally to ensure a sustainable flow of work.
Possible Topics for Mentoring Sessions
• Discussion of Patient Cases
• Deep Dive into Treatment Techniques and Styles
• Assistance with Chinese Herbal Prescriptions
• Patient-Therapist Communication Skills
• Self-Assessment

Chinese Herbal Supervision
Behind every effective formula lies a clear strategy. I support you in uncovering this clarity, layer by layer. For me, supervision is a living process of transforming theoretical knowledge into true clinical confidence. I take the time to carefully review your proposed formulas and provide you with personal feedback via email. I offer you a professional dialogue: together, we look at the subtle details, refine the nuances, and bring your herbal knowledge to life. It is important to me that you learn to speak the “language of the herbs” fluently, developing effective treatment strategies for your patients.
