Welcome!

As a gynecologist and classic homeopath, I am a qualified companion and an expert guide to my patients through all phases of their lives, from birth to old age. I devote sufficient time and undivided attention to each patient's physical, psychological and emotional needs because health requires body and psyche to be in balance. In order to create an optimal treatment plan for particular health issues, one needs comprehensive knowledge and experience from conventional medicine, complementary medicine and psychology. My holistic team and I make all of this available to you.

The compiling of a detailed history taking, a gentle physical examination and lots of professional competence and experience are, in my opinion, the bases for an accurate diagnosis and later-on, for the development of a therapy plan that is specifically tailored to you and your needs.

Coordination and support of all health issues
Every woman is different and thus has the right to care that is specifically tailored to her individual needs. In order to provide my patients with prudent health care, I have built up a health-network of highly competent doctors, midwives and therapists over many years of working in this field.

Health Coaching
The physically and psychologically challenging transitions into new phases of life such as puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, the puerperium and menopause require special medical attention. I am happy to guide you through these exciting but sometimes stressful times.

Prevention

As a gynecologist, I am not only committed to the treatment of diseases, but also to the prevention of diseases. Through meticulous examinations during routine gynecological check-ups, I am able to identify and treat diseases that would traditionally only become identifiable years later. Early detection of health imbalances can often be successfully compensated with complementary medical methods .

Gynecology

My treatment options for various illnesses are all in accordance with the most up-to-date medical standards.

I clarify the possible necessity of surgical intervention and discuss this in extensive detail with all of my patients. I comprehensively advise you on possible alternatives and if necessary, also on the methods of operations that are as least invasive as possible.

The wish for a child

The cause of an absent pregnancy can often be deduced by gynecological examinations. In a detailed discussion of the results, I will explain to you the diagnosed or possibly even medically undiagnosable causes of infertility. Then I will discuss suitable medical, as well as complementary therapy options with you.

Pregnancy/­birth

It is important to me to guarantee you a safe, open and professional environment to accompany you through pregnancy and birth, so that you may experience this time as relaxed and stress-free as possible. Starting with pregnancy planning, onto the type of birth you would like, all the way to puerperic care; I offer it all. I also offer the medical accompaniment of risk pregnancies, which are often caused by thyroid problems, pregnancy diabetes, high blood pressure or twin pregnancies.

Menopause

I view menopause, not as a “disease”, but as an important part of the female life cycle and as an exciting transition phase. The complaints last an average of about 2-3 years and can be significantly alleviated through individually adapted therapies to restore the body’s physical and psychological balance, such as a constitutional homeopathic treatment for example. I would be happy to advise you on complementary medical therapy hormone free therapy options.

Pediatric and adolescent gynecology

Diseases occur differently in girls than in adult women. As a trained pediatric and adolescent gynecologist, I offer specialized care and advice on gender disorders, developmental disorders during puberty, hormonal diseases, bleeding disorders and eating disorders. It is essential to me to build up trust to my young patients so that a girl can see me as a neutral and approachable ally, rather than just a Doctor.

During the girl's consultation hour, I convey self-confidence and security in all questions that concern themselves with the "FIRST TIME", including those that may arise before and after.

Contraception advice

Throughout the course of life, the requirements for reliable and individual contraception change. I am happy to give you detailed advice on hormonal and non-hormonal contraception options that are specially adapted to your menstrual pattern, your life situation and your age.

Homeopathy

The use of classical homeopathy in combination with conventional medicine has proven itself effective, especially in the field of gynecology. The effectiveness of a combination of conventional medicin and homeopathy as well as obstetrics and homeopathy also displays my experience and competence with patients in need of obstetric, gynecological and oncological care.
