Koko's Headshot

Koko fisch 

Aniko, or Koko for short, started her journey in the holistic healing world with her passion for Food. Growing up in a household where healing foods were used as the primary remedies for any ailment, her fascination with the transformative powers of nature’s medicine cabinet led her to study holistic nutrition and eating psychology. She wanted to help people nourish their bodies and achieve vibrant health. But after working with clients, she began to see how healthy eating is only a small part of the key to true, lasting health. This took her down a path of mind-blowing exploration into the world of quantum biology and energy medicine. After learning several energy healing modalities, life took an unexpected turn when she started to experience a debilitating mystery illness that left her “out of commission” for several years. Through her journey back to health, Koko gained an entirely new perspective on why the body expresses imbalance through dis-ease. The insights she has gained and the methods that had the most profound effect on her own healing journey form the foundation of her work with clients. Koko uses these powerful tools to help clients reclaim their health and tap into their innate abilities to thrive.
