About me

If you need a referral or an answer to an uncomfortable question, having a familiar face behind the stethoscope can significantly improve the quality of your care.

Research shows that primary care (a visit to your family doctor, a consultation with a nurse, advice from a pharmacist) is still the strongest foundation of good health care - and your relationship with your family doctor is a key element of that foundation.

After completing a five-year undergraduate course in Chinese medicine and biomedical science, I joined a Chinese medicine center. In addition to everyday illnesses, I also treated many cancer patients. I used palliative and complementary treatments for side effects and worked in the field of long-term damage prevention. This work inspired me to delve deeper into the field of acupuncture for cancer patients. I wrote an article on this topic for my Master's degree in Chinese Medicine, titled Acupuncture for Complementary Therapy and Cancer Prevention. I hoped to be able to work in the research field, and I took up a position as a research fellow in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Hong Kong. I participated in a controlled trial of acupuncture treatment for insomnia in patients with depression. But even more than theoretical scientific research, I was interested in practical work. So in 2012 I started an internship with a local doctor, a specialist in Yijing/I Ching healing.

In my many years of practice, I have mostly dealt with allergies, migraine, eczema, rhinitis, insomnia, menstrual problems, pregnancy nausea, high blood pressure, gout, pain management, post-stroke care and geriatric conditions. I successfully use a variety of methods and tools in my treatment, such as herbal powders, herbs, acupuncture, moxibustion.

In the winter of 2015, I had the opportunity to start a new chapter in my life in Slovenia. For the first time in my life, I lived in a country where the cold winter snow whitens the landscape; yet I have always been touched and warmed by the warm hearts of the people of Slovenia. It is an honour and a pleasure to be able to help Slovenian patients.

We offer you the best treatment

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art of inserting very thin needles into points on the body to activate qi energy. The flow of qi energy can be obstructed by several factors, e.g. emotions, poor diet, too much work, trauma or stress. Acupuncture restores the natural flow of qi energy and brings the body back into overall balance.

Chinese herbs

Chinese herbal medicine is one of the largest herbal systems in the world with an unbroken tradition dating back to the 3rd century BC.

Herbs consist of leaves, stems, bark, roots or seeds. Each is characterised by its unique effect. When combined in an effective way, they perform a variety of tasks and help the body to regain its overall balance.

Dietary advice

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, traditionally "healthy" food is very different from the modern recommendations you might see on TV or in magazines. According to Chinese medicine a healthy diet is based on energetic principles and promotes a balance of the body that cleanses itself of toxins, resulting in a well-functioning body that is energised and healthy.

Traditional Chinese medicine in Hong Kong is different from that in mainland China.

The Chinese Medicine regulations stipulate that only traditional medicines and treatments can be used in the context of traditional Chinese medicine. This means that no procedures or medicines that are typical of Western medical doctrine (modern medicine) may be used. Traditional practitioners focus on pure Chinese medicine and do not rely on "fast and powerful" modern medicine.
The way doctors practice and work is very similar to the way they work in Western countries, where privacy and communication are very important. Prices for consultations and other services are clearly indicated. Most patients know us through recommendations from previous patients.
In hospitals in mainland China, TCM doctors focus on specific segments, while postgraduate specialisation in Hong Kong takes place in clinics where the patient is treated holistically. We treat a wide range of conditions using herbs, acupuncture, moxibustion, etc.
All undergraduate students in Hong Kong are required to take an exam in English, and lectures in Western medicine are also held in English. This makes communication with patients much easier.

To provide the highest quality holistic, patient-centred healthcare, offering a wide range of Traditional Chinese Medicine solutions that enable people to live richer lives and reach their highest potential. Combining modern science and ancient wisdom, we take a holistic and integrated approach to your health concerns. With this goal in mind, we continuously help our clients and the community in Novo mesto and beyond.
