TEAM

 

We see ourselves as integrative bridge builders between the different medical competences: Conventional orthodox medicine on the one hand and classical naturopathy as well as micronutrient and nutritional therapy on the other. With the combination of our medical expertise, we offer comprehensive and modern health care.

 

Alessa Beckers, M.D.

For Alessa Beckers, university-based conventional medicine and complementary medicine have always been an optimally entity. Read more

Her 10-year career in internal medicine and intensive care medicine at the Berlin Charité and the Helios Klinikum Berlin-Buch was constantly accompanied by extensive training in complementary medicine to understand the holistic approach to disease and health. Already as a student she graduated in acupuncture and micronutrient medicine, later followed trainings in neural therapy, classical naturopathy (Charité / Immanuel Hospital, Prof. Michalsen) and functional medicine. At the health resort Tannerhof in Bayrischzell, she experienced as a practice representative how healing nutritional cures and therapeutic fasting can work even in chronic diseases.

During her clinical work, she increasingly specialized in state-of-the-art "check-up medicine", as the basis of healthy aging. In this field she was, among other things, the medical director of the HELIOS Prevention Center Berlin.

She experienced the significance that faith and spirituality can have on health and illness during a one-year development project at the university hospital in Thimphu, Bhutan, in which she was in charge of the hospital's intensive care unit. Inspired by this, further training in meditation-based therapies and mind-body medicine followed.

Alessa Beckers knows the respective strengths and weaknesses of the medical worldviews and would like to combine them to an individually best medicine for the individual patient. In doing so, scientific as well as experiential medical approaches come together in an undogmatic way.

Eike Ahrens

In respectful collaboration with his patients, Eike Ahrens analyzes postural and movement patterns, traces deep patterns of tension in the musculoskeletal system and applies techniques from Rolfing®️ and visceral osteopathy to help the body on its way to balance. Read more

Life's experiences draw the human body. It stores physical, mental and emotional tensions, traumas and stress. The consequences of accidents, operations and diseases often fundamentally irritate the human organism and complicate homeostasis. "Writing" the way back to balance is a trusting and experiential process that can be initiated through trained therapeutic work. Since 2016 he has been running his own practice for Rolfing®️ Structural Integration in Munich. As a translator and later as an assistant he gets to know Jean-Pierre Barral (D.O.) and his visceral osteopathy. The leaders of the Munich group - Dr. Peter Schwind and Christoph Sommer - become his mentors. For more than five years he supervises all courses of the interdisciplinary training group: among others René Zweedijk (D.O. BSc (Hon) Ost Med - Osteopathy for Children), Maria Laura Gentilini (D.O. Visceral Manipulation of the Organs of the Pelvis/urogenital), Bruno Donatini (Dr. med. D.O. - Biofilm: correlations of metabolic diseases and manual therapy). Through constant dialogue and exchange with his teachers and the various course participants, he can draw on an extensive network to provide the best possible care to his patients. Since 2018 he is a certified naturopath and since 2019 he has been a partner in the practice of his mentor Christoph Sommer. There he accompanies patients with the consequences of operations in the abdominal and thoracic area as well as on the spine, with acute sports injuries or chronic complaints of the postural apparatus. Eike Ahrens just recently moved back to Berlin for love and the challenge of combining the advantages of classical orthodox medicine, naturopathy and manual therapy under one roof in a creative and ambitious team.
