Welcome to my website!
You are looking for a treatment or method to increase your health and wellbeing?
Before offering you any of my services we will focus on your personal overall needs and clarify your actual situation in a caring and respectful environment. Every treatment calls for a careful selection of the optimum work method. I will assist you with my rich background and a wide range of experience I have enjoyed during various years through analyzing and dealing with body processes and their relation to states of mind. |
This method is based on an ancient Asian medical system, which is still fully accepted today and applied increasingly in our modern times. According to this captivating concept it is the life-energy that governs all body functions. This life-energy flows in our body through a circuit of lines and points called „meridians and acupuncture points“ and feeds all the body systems. Based on these principles an imbalance or stagnation of this energy flow is the root cause of all physical disorders. Curing or preventing afflictions is therefore concerned with regulating this energy flow, keeping it strong and vigorous. Acupuncture Massage is an effective energetic treatment based on Chinese medicine. It eases muscle tensions, improves circulation, provides and supports energy flow and dissolves disharmonious energy patterns. It can help you correcting and regulating the functioning of your organ system and stimulates your body’s self-healing power. |

relieves or cures a wide range of disorders, such as, for example:
... and is a good prevention to stabilize your soft spots and re energize your body’s self-healing capacity. |
How is it done? How does it function? |
The treatment is tailored according to the present condition, diagnosed by means of the ear-reflex-zone check. The ear offers to the practitioner manifold and expressive means of diagnosis as well as control options of the measures taken. A reflection of the entire body can be found in the reflex points of the ear. No needles are used during the treatment. The meridians and the acupuncture points are gently massaged by the hands, fingertips or in combination with a rod. The treatment is completed by a gentle manipulation of the articulations to free their movement and align the spine. Within one or two treatments you generally should already feel marked improvements. At this point it will become clear how to proceed regarding further sessions; you can assess this together with me. |
Hatha Yoga and Hormone Yoga Therapy
The word Yoga denotes a concept of discipline leading to union.The body and mind form a continuum of consciousness that, by achieving a state of focus and clarity, may unite with the Universal Spirit (or Inner Self). Out of the different existing yoga pathways, Hatha Yoga concentrates on postures and alignment using stretching positions, breathing and meditation techniques creating an internal atmosphere of peacefulness and integration. It takes the individual from a state of separation and divisiveness to a unity-of-self that is flexible, accepting, affirming and whole.

… is a wonderful technique that suits any person, at any age, who wants to take an active part in their own health prevention by strengthening and harmonizing themselves by learning movements, postures and breathing, simple skills to maintain greater physical and emotional well-being. Soft and concentrated movements are carried out in a standing, sitting and lying position, thereby improving flexibility, strength and endurance as well as deepening your body awareness, relaxation and breathing. It helps you prevent diseases and diminishes everyday stress and imbalance. You will experience deep relaxation and centeredness. |

Yoga during pregnancy |
will offer you support and assistance throughout your pregnancy. With specific yoga exercises I support you with strengthening your body as well as increasing your body awareness. You will learn to listen and trust your body, which is one part of preparing to give birth. The relaxing effect of Yoga is especially beneficial during pregnancy and will help you to adapt to the continual changes of your body during the process of these nine months. Typical disorders during pregnancy such as back pains, water retention or digestive troubles can be prevented or released by regular exercising. I work individually or in groups of two people to adjust to the very individual needs, possibilities and processes of the people I am working with (the second person can be another pregnant woman or your partner). |

Exercising HYT |
Hormone Yoga uses more specialized techniques than Hatha Yoga; however, it is easy to adopt and to practice. You will learn a number of exercises, which combine different elements, such as Asanas (body postures), Pranayama (breathing techniques) and Nidra (deep relaxation) as well as stress reducing techniques. The results are encouraging: HYT not only increases the hormone level, but also leads to a marked improvement of symptoms connected to the menopause, for example:

You can learn the HYT program in a short sequence of individual classes in my practice.

Who Am I?
Brigitte Simone Hefti
In my line of work I apply a holistic, process-oriented view of the human being and let myself be guided by an attitude of kindness, respect and empathy.
I can draw upon numerous years of experience, dealing with body processes and the therapeutical effect of motion and dance. On this foundation and based on my training as a psychologist, I can create links to the emotional processes of the patient. An important part of my concept is evaluating and responding to the varied perceptions that my patients have with regard to their body and their spirit. Upon request I can assist you in discovering the connection between your symptoms and your life process. No technique in itself can ever have the power to heal. What does heal is an emerging and growing awareness of your hidden wholeness, which is the essence of your own, inmost nature. Training Since 1980, course leader for dance and since 1992, for Yoga. Since 1990 psychological coach and adult educationist. Memberships: SYG (Swiss Yoga Association) FG-POP (Research Association for Process Oriented Psychology), VeT (Federation of Energy Based Therapies) I speak German, French, English, Spanish and some Italian. |
