Alicia Glavanová

• Founder of Shenmen Therapies • Certified Complementary Therapist based in Switzerland • Educator

My journey as a therapist didn’t begin in a classroom, but in my own body.

Years ago, panic attacks and anxiety led me onto a path of deep personal healing. It took time, courage, and many different approaches before I finally understood the connection between emotions, the nervous system, and physical symptoms.

About Alicia

I am a trauma-informed complementary therapist specialising in nervous system and root-cause healing.

I support people whose body is stuck in long-term survival — often expressed through chronic symptoms, pain or emotional distress — to move beyond symptom management and reconnect with the body’s natural capacity to heal.

My work is grounded in a simple but essential principle:
healing only happens when the nervous system feels safe and the emotional root cause can be resolved.
Rather than chasing symptoms or forcing insight, I guide clients through a body-led process that restores internal safety first, then gently explores the emotional and subconscious patterns the body has been responding to.

With a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture and acupressure, auriculotherapy, hypnosis, yoga therapy and somatic nervous system regulation, I bridge ancient wisdom with modern trauma-informed understanding. My approach is calm, paced and deeply respectful of the body’s timing — emphasising safety, presence, embodiment and integration.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, panic, chronic pain, autoimmune and hormonal conditions, as well as complex or long-standing diagnoses — always with the understanding that symptoms are meaningful responses, not signs of a broken body.

Alongside my clinical work, I am also an educator. I support both individuals and practitioners in understanding the mind-body connection at a deeper level, so healing becomes not something to be fixed from the outside, but something that can be cultivated from within.

Healing doesn’t come from pushing the body to change.


It comes from listening — and creating the safety needed for change to occur.

Healing comes from within
