From Architect to Therapist – My Journey to Traditional Chinese Medicine

“From architect to therapist—a journey back to inner strength, rooted in my Vietnamese heritage and connected through four languages.”

From architect to therapist

I am an architect—and a therapist. Two paths that have more in common than it seems: both involve using clarity and sensitivity to design spaces where people can feel comfortable—both inside and out.

Today, I help people with acupressure, Tuina massage and Qi Gong on their journey back to their own center. These methods from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be helpful, for example, with stress, sleep disorders, headaches or tension .

This journey continues: I am constantly deepening my knowledge of TCM, qigong, and bodywork—driven by a love of learning and a desire to respond to people with ever greater sensitivity.

A journey back to inner strength

My roots lie in Vietnam —and with them a quiet knowledge that I intuitively lived by as a child: I practiced qigong and kung fu for many years without knowing exactly why.

It wasn’t until I went through a period of health challenges that I truly returned to these Chinese practices and discovered Traditional Chinese Medicine. There, I rediscovered the inner strength of my roots—and developed a desire to guide people on their journey toward greater balance and wholeness.

In four languages for genuine connection

I am French, studied and lived in Germany, met my Mexican husband there, and have now been living in Switzerland for over ten years.

I speak German, English, French, and Spanish —not as an extra skill, but because multilingualism has always been part of my life.

These languages enable me to interact with people in a special way—and allow you to feel secure, understood, and fully seen during your treatment.

  • “For the past few months, I’ve been going regularly to Laetitia for acupressure and Tuina massage. I hadn’t heard of this method before and have to admit I was a bit skeptical. But I was thrilled right from the very first session! Laetitia is very professional and takes the time to address each person’s individual needs. I highly recommend her treatment for headaches and migraines—both have almost completely disappeared for me. The treatment had a relaxing and stress-relieving effect on me right from the first session. I’ll definitely be back!”

    Sarah C.

  • “Thank you so much, dear Laetitia, for your compassionate, holistic care.

    I first came to Laetitia with severe lower back pain. Even the very first treatment was a relief. Laetitia was very kind and professional; I immediately felt I was in good hands. My back pain is now gone, and I continue to enjoy treatments with Laetitia.
    I really appreciate that we start with a Qi Gong exercise that I can then do at home as well.
    The acupressure Tuina massage is tailored to my needs and is very soothing and touching.”

    Anja Zwicky

  • “Wow, a woman who’s firmly grounded, clear-headed, and radiant. She really helped me feel grounded, released tension, and restored my energy. I always enjoy going to see her. Thank you for the wonderful experience.”

    Antje Paetz

  • "I regularly go to Lae for acupressure massage and appreciate her professional yet attentive and empathetic manner. Laetitia specifically addresses my individual concerns and tailors each treatment accordingly. After just a few months, I’ve experienced effective relief from my PMS symptoms and a visible improvement in my skin problems. That’s why I highly recommend Lae’s treatments. With every treatment, physical blockages are released, and I feel deeply relaxed afterward. I will continue to come for massages and thank Laetitia for her valuable support!"

    Helene T.

  • “I regularly go to Laetitia for Tuina treatments, and I love it! Laetitia has a very soothing way of conducting the treatment; I feel very comfortable and can relax right away. She’s also been a huge help with my symptoms. I appreciate that she takes many different factors into account, such as diet. I’m already looking forward to my next treatment!”

  • " Laetitia has just the right energy—she's perfect for this! I felt at ease right from the start. I especially want to highlight the positive feeling I had after the treatment, which lasted for a long time. It was very pleasant. Thank you!! "

    Samuel L.

  • " Laetitia is a kind and incredibly empathetic person. She always takes plenty of time to talk with you before the treatments. The massage itself is a blend of a relaxing massage and trigger point therapy. This combination really gets things moving in the body, and in the days that follow, you can really feel your body working. Thank you, dear Laeti, for always sending me home deeply relaxed after your treatments! :)"

    Jessica P.

  • " Laetitia does a wonderful job. I had never heard of Tunia Massage before, and I found it incredibly relaxing and pleasant. After the treatment, I felt like I was walking on air; I was completely at ease mentally. Amazing! The tension in my neck, which has been bothering me for months, has been much more bearable since the appointment, and I’m sleeping much better. I’ll definitely be back because it did me so much good. I highly recommend it!"

    Anja R.

  • "I went to see Laetitia for a session because I’d had a severe sore throat for three weeks and my painful period was about to start (I suffer from endometriosis). After the 90-minute session, my voice was much clearer, and two days after the treatment, my period stopped, and I had neither a sore throat nor abdominal pain. I thank her again and highly recommend her! She is very attentive, warm, and has hands like fairy fingers."

    Anonymous

  • "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 visit Laeti regularly to find some balance amid my sometimes very intense work life, to clear my head, and sometimes to relieve physical tension. Laeti’s exceptionally empathetic, competent, and context-sensitive approach never ceases to amaze me, which is why I always book my next sessions right away. I would therefore highly recommend that everyone give Laeti’s acupressure a try!”

    Stephan Flückiger

  • “I’ve been seeing Laetitia for about four months now, and I’m very happy with the results of the treatment. I was struggling with general listlessness and a lack of energy and motivation, and I just felt stuck. These issues have improved dramatically, and I’ll definitely continue with the treatment. Plus, I feel incredibly comfortable and well taken care of with Laetitia.”

    Aurora D'Agostino

  • “Within minutes, Laetitia’s calm demeanor helped me feel grounded and focus on myself. The massage was very pleasant, and I felt deeply relaxed both during and after the session. I slept extremely well afterward, and that sense of relaxation lingered for days. I highly recommend this treatment 😊”

    Julia Tausch

  • “The Tuina massage treatment I received from Laetitia left me feeling deeply relaxed and at peace. I love the Qigong exercises at the beginning as well as the feeling of lightness right after the massage. Laetitia is a very positive person with a calm, infectious energy. Together, we developed a treatment plan to address my pain and numbness in my forearms as well as tension in my upper back—I am convinced that this plan had a positive effect and significantly reduced my symptoms. I am a regular client and enjoy the feeling of my body finding its balance again. Thank you, dear Laetitia, for your warmth, positivity, kindness, and expertise.”

    Desislava Lazarova

  • “I wanted less pain and more inner peace—and that’s exactly how I felt after my treatment with Laetitia.

    "I visited her yesterday and was finally able to sleep soundly last night.

    She’s absolutely lovely and has such a wonderful energy. 10/10! ✨”
