TCM for Sleep Problems in Basel:
Acupressure, Tuina & Qi Gong

Gentle support for sleep disorders – Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques help promote calm and balance.

How TCM can help with sleep disorders

Sleep problems are often caused by stress, inner turmoil, racing thoughts, or physical tension. If the body cannot relax in the evening, it cannot regenerate sufficiently during the night.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) does not view sleep problems as isolated sleep disorders, but rather in the context of the body, emotions, lifestyle, and external stressors. At the same time, it takes into account how well the body can switch between activity during the day and regeneration at night.

This also takes into account which meridians—functional pathways that connect different areas of the body— are involved and how inner restlessness or tension affects the body.

With my mindful 4-step method from TCM, including qi gong, acupressure, and tuina massage, I will guide you in calming your nervous system, releasing tension, and helping your body return to its natural rhythm.

This allows the body to relax more easily and enables restful sleep.

Typical symptoms of sleep disorders

Difficulty falling asleep – you can't relax in the evening
Waking up at night – often at the same time
Brooding & racing thoughts – your mind won't stop
Inner restlessness – your body feels tense
Morning fatigue – you're tired even though you were in bed
Nervousness & emotional irritability – little things throw you off balance

"Laetitia managed to ground me and focus on me within minutes with her calm charisma. The massage was very pleasant and I was deeply relaxed during and afterwards. I was able to sleep extremely well afterwards and the relaxation continued to have an effect for days afterwards. Can absolutely recommend the treatment 😊"
Julia Tausch
Laetitia does a wonderful job. I had never heard of Tunia massage before and found it incredibly relaxing and pleasant. After the treatment, I felt like I was walking on air; I was completely relaxed, both mentally and physically. Amazing! The tension in my neck, which had been bothering me for months, has been much more bearable since the appointment, and I sleep much better. I will definitely come back because it did me so much good. I highly recommend it!"

"Wow, a woman with both feet firmly on the ground, clear and radiant. She totally grounded me, released tension and brought my strength back to the tiles. I always enjoy going back to her. Thank you for the wonderful experience."

"I regularly go to Laetitia for Tuina treatment and I love it! Laetitia has a very pleasant way of conducting the treatment, I feel very comfortable and can relax immediately. She was also able to help me with my complaints. I like the fact that she takes many different aspects into account, such as nutrition. I'm already looking forward to my next treatment!"

" Laetitia has the right energy, just made for it! I felt comfortable right from the start. I would particularly like to emphasize the positive feeling after the treatment, which lasted for a long time. Very pleasant. Thank you! "
Samuel L.
" Laeticia is a caring and incredibly empathetic person. She always takes enough time to talk to you before the treatments. The massage itself is a mixture of a feel-good massage and pressing trigger points. This combination triggers a lot in the body and in the days that follow you can really feel how the body works. Thank you dear Laeti for always allowing me to go home deeply relaxed after your treatments:) "
Jessica P.
"With Laetitia, I feel safe and in good hands. Even the empathetic initial consultation creates trust, the grounding exercise brings me fully into the moment, and your soothing massage has a deep and lasting effect. I can feel how good it all does me - physically and emotionally - I feel connected. I would love to come back and I'm already looking forward to our next appointment! 🤩"
Daniel Siegenthaler
I regularly visit Laeti to find balance in my sometimes very intense working life, to clear my head, and sometimes to relieve certain physical tensions. Laeti's exceptionally empathetic, competent, and situational approach never ceases to amaze me, so I always book my next sessions right away. I would therefore recommend anyone to try acupressure with Laeti at any time!"
