I am an originally a Biologist with a PhD in Medical Cell Biology from Uppsala Sweden. I came to Lausanne and Switzerland in 2002 to work in Medical research at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research.

I have always had a desire to help people and do something that feels meaningful. After much thought, I began studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture, to realise my dream of becoming a TCM therapist. I finished my training in June 2024 and I am now a certified Acupuncturist.

Shortly after finishing my training, I discovered I had breast cancer. I underwent various treatments (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, etc.). During this time I was able to self-treat almost all of the side effects, with good results.

I decided to start creating my own acupuncture practice despite the sometimes heavy treatments. I speak French, English and Swedish and I welcome you to my Practice “Cecilia Acupuncture” in Préverenges.
