​I am a medical doctor, specialized in General Practice. Since my first year of my medical course I‘ve been learning/practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine (herbs, manual therapy, acupuncture, qigong). I‘ve been lecturing Chinese Medicine at the university of Porto (Portugal) and I constantly lecture in Heidelberg for the German Association for TCM. 2 years ago I opened my own practice in Frankfurt where I apply both Western medicine and TCM. Besides pain therapy a special interest of mine is chronic fatigue syndrome, post-COVID/post-Vac-syndrome and irritable bowel disease.

The Story of SIHA
The Subud International Health Association came into being at the 10th Subud World Congress in Spokane during August of 1997. It was by no means a new idea.
The intention to have a registry of Subud professionals working in the health and caring fields dates back to the late 1950's in England when the first attempts to make this happen took place. It came alive again at the Anugraha Congress in 1984. At that time, Bapak gave the name of "Subud International Health Association."
​
Health is a universal issue that touches everyone. SIHA provides a resource for Subud Members, and helps to support the many Subud professionals who work in the health and caring professions. The activities of SIHA are a demonstration of the latihan in practice.
