Beatrice Iten, Owner and Founder of Spinal Wellness Clinic

Beatrice Iten Qualifications

Board Certified Holistic Medicine Practitioner 

I started my holistic medicine and wellness training over a decade ago in the UK and have been in private practice since 2013. Before I moved and re-established my business the Spinal Wellness Clinic from Oxford UK, to Unterägeri in Switzerland in 2020, I worked for 8 years as a therapist at Spinal Wellness Clinic in Oxford UK, and am also co-founder of Thame Chiropractic Clinic in Oxfordshire, UK.

My main approach is the John Gibbons BSc (OST) Bodymaster Method

An Osteopathic and Chiropractic treatment concept that targets and treats functional disorders in the spine and joints. A structural Osteopathy and soft Chiropractic treatment presupposes an exact diagnosis. In this way, I will be able to apply treatment to the blocked areas, and return the vertebrae to their proper positions. 

It is within my passion as Holistic Medicine Practitioner, to be dedicated to helping as many people as possible to achieve better health, awareness, and a clearer path to discovering a thriving full life. I approach the body as a complex integrated unit, where one dysfunction may require more than one area of expertise.
