Hello, my name is Thomas Valencia Duran, I am an Ayurvedic and hypnotherapist, as well as an author and artist.
I live primarily in Berlin (Schöneberg & Charlottenburg) and Cali/Colombia.In my work I combine the East with the West, i.e. Ayurveda/Yoga plus ear acupuncture and certain medicinal plants/methods from South America. In my youth I was an high level athlete and member of the GDR national swimming team, and then worked as a swimming coach in Austria/ASKÖ and the USA (University of Texas/Austin and the YWCA East/Orange/NJ.
In the mid-90s I moved from the west coast of the USA to West Berlin, probably the most exciting city in the world at the time. Here, in my work as a sports model and dancer, I was able to experience everything that was previously not possible in the clinical world of high level sport.At the same time, I was able to turn my interest in alternative healing methods into a career through a part-time Ayurveda course and a several hypnosis course (Hypnovita Munich/Hamburg).
The essence of my work = balance. Being healthy means being in balance.The West tries to turn a circle into a square. The East tries to equate a circle with a square. For me, however, the circle is a circle and the square is a square, and at the same time the square is a circle and the circle is a squareSo there is no right and no right Wrong, just a multitude of possibilities that change with every thought and every action
