Naturopath Matthias Gebert - About me
My path to becoming a naturopath
I had my first contact with naturopathy when I was about 20 because of migraines. After an odyssey of doctors, I ended up with a naturopath in the Swabian Alb who worked with acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. After about three months of treatment, I was pain-free.
Comprehensive training and practice
A few years later, a DAAD scholarship took me to Mexico, where I met my mentor of many years, Dr. Tomás Alcocer. I learned acupuncture from him. I then opened a practice in Colonia San Rafael in Mexico City, which I ran for 10 years. During this time, I continued my training with Dr. Alcocer and other acupuncture teachers such as Dr. Shi Xue Minh and Dr. Nguyen Thai Thu.
Admission as a non-medical practitioner in Berlin
I returned to Germany in 2018. The choice fell on Berlin. After almost two years of training at Arche Medica, I successfully passed my alternative practitioner exam at the Lichtenberg health authority in November 2020. I then opened my practice on Stuttgarter Platz.
Training in Chinese herbal therapy
I trained in Chinese medicinal therapy at the Shou Zhong Institute in Berlin from 2021 to 2023. After my training, I specialized with Nadine Zäch in the application of the classic recipes of Shang Han Lun.
Practice in Stuttgart North
Family reasons led me to move back to Baden-Württemberg in July 2023. In my search for a suitable practice space, I finally found what I was looking for in the beautiful north of Stuttgart. I have been practicing here since January 2024.
Treatment in Spanish or English
Through my travels, I have not only deepened my language skills in English (switch to English version) and Spanish (switch to Spanish version), but also learned to treat patients in these languages. These intercultural and language skills enable me to provide individualized care for my patients from different countries.
