SARA SCHWARZ
In my search for holistic medicine and health care, I came across the profession of naturopathy, which I have been practising with great pleasure for many years.
Fascinated by the influences of Western natural medicine and ancient Eastern medicine, I now follow these paths daily in my practice in Basel.
