Case Management is performed by Experts in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). What to expect from your consultation? A Diagnosis according to TCM as well as an integrated and personalized treatment plan. TCM is a complex medical system which was developed in China more than 4000 years ago and is still practiced today. TCM is influenced by taoism, confucianism and buddhism. Observations in nature provided the theoretical foundations which remain an integral part of this practice.The diagnostic methods used, which seem quite simple linguistically, allow to capture and analyse even complex pathologies. TCM’s highest priority is to prevent diseases which are caused by an imbalance of energies.TCM’s differentiated medical diagnostic methods make it possible to recognise these energetic imbalances before serious disruptions occur. Suitable therapeutic measures are applied in order to help the body reestablish its harmonious state. TCM is also very valuable in cases where a disease or injury has already occurred.

Co-founder and case manager of BeFertile Online, Maria Isabel got her degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in 2009 and after a few initial years of general practice began specializing in the treatment of fertility issues. Besides running her own clinical practice in Dornach, Switzerland, and online, she also works part-time at Switzerland’s premier fertility clinic. She has been working closely with couples as well as individuals and has a proven track record of improving fertility in her patients, oftentimes resulting in a natural pregnancy. It is in the course of her work with these couples that she discovered that there are many needs that remain unaddressed when people are looking for a pregnancy, that’s is why BeFertile Online was created. “In addition to offering professional support to couples who are seeking pregnancy, part of my goal is to empower these couples to take fertility into their own hands, encouraging them to undertake lifestyle changes that will impact in a positive and integral way the health of the future parents, in which the miracle of life can manifest itself naturally”
