About me
Uli Gutbrod
Developer of the NEOSCAR® method and author. I support people with attention to their scars and respect for their personal histories.
A question
that stayed with me.
A woman who had undergone two breast cancer operations asked whether I could do something for the scars on her breast. Her question had a lasting influence on my work with scars.
For more than ten years, I have explored this subject in my work. This led to the NEOSCAR® method using four special magnetic pens. Today, I support people at the Centre for Prevention & Recovery in Überlingen.
I want to understand what you experience, and distinguish what complementary support can offer from what needs medical assessment.
My approach
A visible scar does not tell the whole story of a procedure. It does not reliably show the cause of pain or how someone experienced an operation. That is why I begin with questions.
We define a personal goal, explain a possible application and look at your individual progress. You may say no at any time. Respecting a no is part of a good encounter.
I do not promise a particular outcome. NEOSCAR® does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment; when symptoms are unclear, medical assessment is the appropriate next step.
What connects my books
“50 chirurgische Narben” explores the professional context. “Narbenhaut & Seelenkraft” addresses body image and closeness after breast cancer. “Wo Berührung beginnt” explores trust, consent and relationships.
