About the Author
Ita Wegman (1876–1943) was a pioneering Swiss physician, anthroposophist, and close collaborator of Rudolf Steiner, whose innovative work bridged medicine, spirituality, and holistic healing. Born in Indonesia to Dutch parents, she trained in gymnastics and medicine in Munich and Berlin, eventually founding her own clinic in 1921 where she integrated anthroposophical principles into patient care. Wegman's deep partnership with Steiner led to the development of anthroposophic medicine, emphasizing the unity of body, soul, and spirit. Her writings and correspondence reveal a profound intellect and dedication to human welfare, influencing generations in alternative medicine and esoteric philosophy. Despite facing political persecution during World War II, her legacy endures through institutions like the Ita Wegman Clinic.
