Emotional acupuncture and homeopathy

My acupuncture treatments go beyond relieving symptoms; they seek to restore the harmony of your whole being.

Tratamiento de acupuntura con Melanie Schlachter Peña en Oaxaca.

Colonia Reforma, Oaxaca
Español, English, Deutsch

A physical symptom can be the expression of an unresolved emotion.

My approach to acupuncture and homeopathy is holistic, taking into account the deep connection between body and mind. Symptoms often come together:

  • Tension in the neck, shoulders or back
  • Frequent headaches
  • Poor sleep or waking up without energy
  • Digestion that changes with stress
  • Tiredness that rest doesn’t fix
  • Anxiety, sadness or irritability
  • A menstrual cycle that becomes irregular

You don’t need to believe in anything in particular. Just tell me how you are.

Personalized therapy

In the first consultation I look closely at your physical and emotional symptoms to find the root of the imbalance. To diagnose, I use traditional techniques such as reading the pulse and the tongue.

From there I design a treatment just for you. Acupuncture begins in the second session and, as needed, I complement it with homeopathy and herbal medicine. When it helps, I prepare a personalized herbal tea so the treatment continues at home between sessions.

I also give you advice on food and lifestyle according to Chinese Medicine and the organ clock, so you can look after your wellbeing day to day.

Melanie Schlachter en consulta terapéutica, escuchando y tomando notas como parte del diagnóstico integral.

Hello, I’m Melanie

I’m Mexican-German and an integrative medicine therapist, certified in Germany.

I have been practising acupuncture for four years. I work with one person at a time and without rushing, because the body and what you feel almost always go together.

I offer consultations in Spanish, English and German.

What my patients say

I’ve been working with Melanie on some nervous system activation and I’ve felt a real shift and calming in my system. I’ve been to several acupuncturists here in Oaxaca (and many throughout the world) but I can say that during sessions I feel the most energy move/blockages shift when I am treated by Melanie. She’s thorough, intuitive, and I’ve never had an acupuncturist take as much care with placement of needles as Melanie does. Her practice is called “emotional acupuncture” and she pays as much attention to these issues as she does to more bodily symptoms/issues. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend treatment with Melanie! I went to her because of the symptoms of my Hashimoto’s disease, and after the very first treatment I noticed a clear improvement, including a strong feeling of pressure in my throat. In the first consultation Melanie took a lot of time to understand my current condition and then designed an individual treatment for me with acupuncture and homeopathy. In total I had 4 treatments with her, all of them very effective and lasting. An extra bonus was that Melanie spoke German with me throughout the treatment, since it is my mother tongue and I could express myself more easily.

Die Behandlung bei Melanie ist sehr empfehlenswert! Aufgrund der Symptome meiner Hashimoto Erkrankung bin ich zu ihr und schon nach der ersten Behandlung bemerkte ich eine deutliche Verbesserung meiner Symptome wie u.a. ein starkes Druckgefühl im Hals. Melanie nahm sich in einem Erstgespräch sehr viel Zeit um sich ein Bild über meinen aktuellen Zustand zu machen und dem nach dann eine individuell angepasste Behandlung für mich mit Akkupunktur und Homöopathie zu erstellen. Insgesamt nahm ich 4 Behandlungen bei ihr in Anspruch welche allesamt sehr effektiv und nachhaltig gewirkt haben. Ein zusätzlicher Bonus war noch dass Melanie die gesamte Behandlung über Deutsch mit mir kommunizierte, da es meine Muttersprache ist und ich mich so leichter ausdrücken konnte.

First time receiving acupuncture and I had a wonderful experience with Melanie. I was bit nervous about the needles but she has an incredibly gentle manner. I was pleasantly surprised by the emotional support she provided along side the acupuncture. She was always professional, responsive, and flexible. Highly recommend. (also she was very accommodating with language as she speaks Spanish, English, & German)

My experience in these acupuncture appointments has been very beneficial, bringing the emotional together with my physical state and improving long-standing conditions that were hard to improve with other procedures I had been trying. The personal attention I received from Melanie and her professional experience in this field have been a great help to me. I will definitely continue the treatment; it is a great relief to find people trained in this area of medicine. Highly recommended.

Mi experiencia en estas citas de Acupuntura han sido muy benéficas, integrando lo emocional a mi estado físico, mejorando condiciones pasadas ya instaladas difíciles de mejorar con otros procedimientos que estuve probando . La atención personalizada que recibí de Melanie y su experiencia profesiónal en este tema han sido de gran ayuda para mi. Definitivamente seguiré con el tratamiento , es gran alivio encontrar gente capacitada en este ámbito medicinal. Muy recomendable

I began seeing Melanie to help with my varicose veins during pregnancy, but what I received was so much more than physical support. Not only have my veins improved, but I left each session feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply cared for. Pregnancy is no small journey, and Melanie has been a steady, compassionate presence along the way. Her wisdom runs deep, and the space she creates feels like a warm embrace. I highly recommend and would argue she is essential to the motherhood journey!
