About me - Saluvia.eu

My name is Anke Spriestersbach.

I was born in 1962, I am married and have 2 children. I have been working in the therapeutic field since 1995. Currently I run a therapeutic practice as a non-medical practitioner with my husband Jürgen in Diez an der Lahn, where you are always welcome.

Already in school I discovered my enthusiasm for teaching. Then, during my language studies, I discovered that I can render complex content in a simple and understandable way. For a while I was also on the road as a singer and really enjoyed the experience of being on stage and entertaining others. Finally, after graduation, I decided not to pursue a singing career, but rather a therapeutic path. This path began with Shiatsu training and then studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through these studies I learned to look deeper and to get to the bottom of things. By feeling the meridians, I quickly realized that there is more than I can grasp with my eyes or mind. When I came back to Germany after a 5-year stay in Italy and taught Shiatsu in a spiritual center, the contact to other levels of consciousness began. Little by little I was able to integrate the contact to higher beings as a matter of course. Today my spiritual insights accompany me in my everyday life and help me to feel held, guided and safe.

For me, life means growing and developing so that I can blossom in my very own destiny. It is my concern to support others in this blossoming.

An important experience

I started therapeutic work in the form of Shiatsu when I was 21, but it wasn’t until I was 35 that I had an experience that proved to me on my own body everything I had learned and experienced so far.

During a 10-day Vipassana meditation course, on the 4th day I suddenly got pain in my right ear at 4:30 in the morning. I knew this pain very well and was therefore quite frightened, because usually in the past it announced an ear canal inflammation, which could then only be fought with an antibiotic. What was I going to do? At this hour, no pharmacy was open yet. So I decided to stay calm, wait until 8 o’clock and then decide.

That morning I meditated especially intensely. I observed my breath and my body as mindfully as I could. When the pain had not worsened at 8 o’clock, I was very relieved and motivated to continue with the meditation. And indeed: the miracle happened. In the evening the pain had almost completely decreased and the next morning it had completely disappeared.

This experience was so convincing to my doubting mind that it had to capitulate and realize that the body is really a direct expression of our inner condition and that if we meet what we carry inside with mindfulness and neutrality, it can show itself and integrate.

From that moment on, it was clear to me that I really wanted to pass this knowledge on to others. And since I like to impart knowledge, teaching was the best way for me to pass on to many people my conviction that our inner attitude is the decisive factor for healing.
