About Melinda
My name is Melinda. I am 42 years old and have been born in Germany.
I worked for approximately 18 years (in total) in the dentist industry as a dental assistant in oral and maxillofacial surgery and later as a Dental Hygienist, with a focus on periodontitis and chronic diseases in general and specializing in the treatment of patients with anxiety.
With my training in chronic diseases, I gained a lot of knowledge over the years, and I experienced countless times that alternative treatments are very valuable and helpful, in addition to allopathic medicine.
I was already using reflexology because it was part of dentists` practice of treating inflammation, pain, and anxiety.
Therefore, I decided to change my career and combine my medical background with auricular (ear) and facial reflexology to dive deeply into this alternative profession.
I am pleased to introduce you to my Auricular & Facial Reflexology office and looking forward to treating you!

Personal view: How does Reflexology, Herbs and Food support healing within your body?
The body is fascinating; it requires an infinite number of chemical and mechanical processes that must take place in exact interactions to keep the entire system running.
In addition, the immune system fights thousands of attacks every day, and poor treatment is tolerated long before the negative consequences become apparent. Everything is interwoven and affects each other.
In this interaction, reflexology helps to enable the smallest units (i.e., our cells, cell spaces, fluids, and tissue) to "address" and bring them back into balance. Reflexology promotes nutrition in these small units and removes waste products. Thus, these areas are revitalized and the body has a better starting position for healing.
Additionally, to Reflexology, I offer nutritional and herbal consultations to support the body regarding its needs and health.
I believe strongly that “You are what you consume” and that it has a deep impact on our health for what food we opt, if we can create space and time to eat, and if the foods we take up are the right ones for a person.
With many environmental triggers and impacts, one can at least choose what to put into one body and support it for the better.
It is worth looking into it and making it your own to know what is good for your body and learn to implement it in daily life. Moreover, small changes can result in significant differences.
With proper nutrition, herbs, spices, and willingness to check into lifestyle patterns, health can be improved.
Nowadays a person needs the best creatable starting point to thrive in this world and be resilient and powerful. Feeling your body in a maintained and good state of health makes a difference every day.
Let us check in and determine how I can support you with your daily challenges.
Warmly Melinda
