We offer you and your clients a tranquil and private space for any kind of therapy. We rent our therapy spaces per half a day and offer some refreshments for you and your clients in the communal kitchen. Clients can wait before or after their session in our green and shady garden or on our cozy courtyard. The quinta breathes calmness and gives inspiration. We invite you to come for a visit and experience it too.
Nicole Plattner is psychotherapist and works here for two days a week. She and her clients are very happy with the warm atmosphere and feel at ease to return for the next session.
We would love to show you around if you are interested to work at Creative Space O Tartufo too!
