Meet Saskia

I have been serving clients in my private health practice since 1993. My approach to health care and nutrition is holistic, science-based and cutting-edge. I have studied in Europe, the U.S. and Asia.

Education:

• Bachelor of Health Science, minor in Psychology, with additional specialization in nutrition.

• Associate of Applied Science in Nutrition

• Certificat in Integrative Nutrition

• Certificate in Health Education

• Certificate in Orthopedic Neuromuscular Therapy

• Certificate in Myofascial Release Therapy

My continuing education course work includes the following courses with Dr. Andrew Weil’s Institute of Integrative Medicine:

• Nutrition & Botanicals for Cancer

• Nutrition & Botanicals for Prostate Cancer

• Nutrition & Botanicals for Cardiovascular Disease

• Nutrition & Botanicals for Depression & Anxiety

• Environmental Medicine

I served on the faculty of the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, CA for 4 years, where I taught massage therapy, health education and pathophysiology.

As the founder and director of the Emeryville Health & Wellness Center, I led a multi-practitioner integrative health center for 16 years until it closed in 2020 during the pandemic.

I have acted as a nutritional consultant for Men's Fitness Magazine and for MyFitnessPal on several occasions.

I am a dedicated and lifelong athlete: my passions are road cycling and hiking. I also have 19 years of experience in the Martial Arts and hold the rank of 3rd degree Black Belt.

Having grown up in Switzerland, I am able to draw from the country’s long-lived tradition of natural approaches to health care. I was raised using herbal treatments, juice fasts, nutritional remedies, and hydrotherapy as the treatments of choice for many of the common ailments.

I am very passionate about health and healthy living and loves to share my knowledge with my clients. I take a holistic view of the person in customizing my health protocols.

My goal is to bring equilibrium to the body, mind and spirit through integrative health and wellness care.

Aside from my continuous quest for more knowledge, my ongoing commitment to further my education, and the fact that I have worked in the health field for over 32 years, I truly practice what I preach and can therefore advise you both from professional and personal experience.
