The founder of Tigogreen, Tanja Hohenester, conducted an insightful interview with two experts from the Academy of Naturopathy (AKN): Anna Hartmann and Aylin Moser. Both lecturers shared their extensive expertise and enthusiasm for holistic health, particularly in relation to gynaecology. In this article, we summarise the most important findings from the interview.
Holistic approaches to health
Anna Hartmann is a nutritionist and Education Development Manager at the Academy of Naturopathy. With her deep roots in nutritional science and her love of naturopathy, she brings a unique perspective to her work. In the interview, Anna emphasised the importance of a holistic approach to health.
In her opinion, it is not enough just to "eat healthily". Exercise, stress management and general mental well-being are just as important. This comprehensive approach is central to AKN's philosophy.
The Academy of Naturopathy has been successful for almost 20 years. The first training programme was developed and launched around 25 years ago. Since then, the AKN has specialised in developing and offering online training courses, which gives students flexibility and independence. These online training programmes are a particularly valuable option for women who are looking for a career change after a family phase.
Holistic gynaecology and healthcare
Aylin Moser is a naturopath and expert in holistic women's health. She completed her training as a nutritional counsellor at the AKN in 2014 and has had a close relationship with the academy ever since. Her passion for gynaecology led her back to AKN in 2022, where she now works as a lecturer. In the interview, Aylin emphasised that women are biologically different from men and therefore need to be treated differently in healthcare. Her work aims to disseminate this specific knowledge widely and empower women to take control of their own health.
