The Soul of Stiel
Stiel means “stem” in German. The stem symbolizes growth and connection to the roots at the same time. We embrace the return to one´s own roots, to mother earth. We medidate the unity of the human being with nature, because we are made of it. We stand for authenticity and wholeness in absolute harmony with the universe that surrounds us.
We innovate by preserving nature´s healing wisdom. We transform people‘s life so that they can live well for longer. Health means freedom, to take care of oneself, to enjoy clean air, clean water and healthy food.
Stiel is created by nature, a sanctuary where time and space lose their meaning. As we all belong to nature we build one family. Every moment we spend together, we create memories that transcend the material and provide a sense of belonging to a world of immeasurable beauty.
Founder
Dr. Ryan Santiago Stiel, our visionary founder, discovered her passion for naturopathic medicine in her native Brazil. Surrounded by a rich variety of native medicinal plants, she became passionate about their healing properties at an early age.
After losing her voice through surgery, she remarkably mastered reading and writing by the age of three. With the help of naturopathy, she not only regained her voice, but also developed a deep fascination with the natural healing powers of plants.
This profound experience awakened her irrepressible curiosity about the healing powers of nature and led her to study the teachings of the pioneers of naturopathy such as Hildegard von Bingen, Samuel Hahnemann, and Sebastian Kneipp.
After graduating from high school, she went to Germany to study medicine. Dr. Stiel received her M.D. at one of the world's most prestigious universities, the Technical University of Munich. She specialized in otolaryngology and obtained her PhD from the University of Regensburg.
Today, she is a renowned functional medicine doctor in the UNESCO World Heritage spa town of Bad Kissingen. Dr. Stiel combines modern medicine with naturopathy, Asian healing traditions and orthomolecular medicine.
Drawing from the Hippocratic principle "natura sanat" - "nature heals" - Dr. Stiel is dedicated to preserving the timeless wisdom surrounding nature's healing powers. Her mission is to use this invaluable knowledge for the well-being and longevity of her patients.
