Maria Isabel Bühler Granados
Clinic Owner, Naturopath with a federal diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
I am a licensed therapist for Traditional Chinese Medicine. Since 2010, I have been working in my own clinic in Dornach, Switzerland. Over the last 5 years I have been specialising in fertility treatment and gynaecology. As a therapist, the well-being of my patients is of the utmost importance. You can expect the very best care and professionalism. It lies at the heart of Traditional Chinese Medicine to see every human being as unique. All treatments therefore, are individually designed meaning they are tailored to your needs. Consequently, treating each other with diligence and respect is paramount.

Heather Woodcock-Bourne
TCM-Therapist Acupuncture and Tuina
As a qualified TCM therapist, I practice several methods of TCM such as acupressure, acupuncture, TuiNa massage, Gua Sha, cupping and nutritional counselling.
My work philosophy is to provide an environment based on trust and empathy where the practice of TCM can help the patient on his/her healing journey.
I am especially passionate about using TuiNa massage and acupuncture for emotional and physical ailments that surface when the patients suffer from stress, burn-out, grief or trauma.
I look forward to accompanying you on your path to healthy living!
