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.

  • " I regularly go to Lae for acupressure massages and appreciate her professional yet attentive and empathetic manner. Laetitia specifically addresses my individual issues and adapts each treatment accordingly. After just a few months, my PMS symptoms were effectively alleviated and my skin problems visibly improved. I can therefore highly recommend treatment with Lae. Each treatment releases physical blockages and I feel deeply relaxed afterwards. I will continue to come for massages and thank Laetitia for her valuable support! "

    Helene T.

  • " Since my first visit to LAE, there have been positive changes that I never expected. Initially I came for severe back pain, but I found much more. Not only is my back showing improvement with each session, but I've seen progress in areas I wasn't looking to address directly: My energy is consistent throughout the day, I have less sugar cravings, and I can sleep deeply. Laetitia's therapy is not limited to symptom relief; it seeks to understand and heal from the root cause. If you are looking for real solutions, I can highly recommend her."

    Iván Z.

  • "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."

    Antje P.

  • "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.

  • "It was a great surprise to discover Tuina massage and it was a pure relaxation experience. I straightened up and really felt much straighter. With my feet firmly planted in the ground, I walked home. I felt like I had stepped into another world with a lot of lightness. Thank you so much, Laetitia, for introducing me to this massage. I'm already looking forward to experiencing this moment of happiness again."

    Jeannette

  • " 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 absolutely mentally relaxed. Amazing! The tension in my neck, which has been bothering me for months, is much more bearable since the appointment and I sleep much better. I will definitely come back because it did me so much good. I would absolutely recommend it! "

    Anja R.

  • " I went to Laetitia for a session because I had been suffering from a sore throat for three weeks and my painful period was coming up (I suffer from endometriosis). After the 90 minute session my voice was much clearer and two days after the therapy my periods stopped and I had no sore throat or stomach pain. I thank her again and highly recommend her! She is very attentive, warm and has hands like fairy fingers."

    Anonymous

  • "I've been going to Laetitia's acupressure tuina massage regularly for a few months now. I hadn't heard of this method before and I have to admit that I was rather skeptical. But I was thrilled from the very first appointment! Laetitia is very professional and takes the time to respond to your individual needs. I can highly recommend her treatment for headaches and migraines, both of which have almost completely disappeared for me. The treatment had a relaxing and stress-relieving effect on me from the very first appointment. I would love to come back!"

    Sarah C.

  • "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 come to Laeti for general relaxation after a sometimes very intense working day, to clear my head and sometimes also to relieve certain body tensions. Laeti's exceptionally empathetic, competent and situational approach never ceases to amaze me, so I always book the next session straight away. I can therefore recommend anyone to try acupressure with Laeti at any time!"

    Stephan Flückiger

  • "I have been seeing Laetitia for about 4 months and am very happy with the results of the treatment. I was struggling with general listlessness and lack of energy/motivation and was simply blocked. These things have improved exponentially and I will certainly continue treatment. I also feel incredibly comfortable and in good hands with Laetitia."

    Aurora D'Agostino

  • "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

  • "The Tuina massage treatment I received from Laetitia gives me a feeling of deep relaxation and soothing calm. I love the Qi Gong exercises at the beginning as well as the feeling of lightness immediately after the massage. Laetitia is a very positive person with a calm, infectious charisma. Together we developed a treatment plan to treat my pain and numbness in my forearms and tension in my upper back - I am convinced that this plan had a positive effect and my symptoms were significantly reduced. I am a regular client and enjoy the feeling of my body finding its balance again. Thank you, dear Laetitia, for your warmth, positivity, warmth and knowledge."
