Jivita

What Jivita does

JIVITA AG is a Swiss integrative medicine provider founded in 2019 and headquartered in Zollikon, Switzerland, with approximately 25 employees. The company embeds interdisciplinary teams of physicians and complementary therapists inside partner hospitals — primarily Klinik Hirslanden Zürich (all wards since April 2025) and Hirslanden Klinik im Park (maternity department) — to deliver bedside complementary therapies including Ayurvedic massage, Myoreflex and foot reflex zone therapy, classical massage, aromatherapy, breath therapy, and therapeutic wraps and compresses. These services are coordinated with conventional hospital workflows and scheduled around medical visits and procedures, with JIVITA physicians providing integrative medicine consultations that feed into the inpatient care plan.

The business operates a pure B2B2C professional services model: hospitals are the institutional customers, patients are the end beneficiaries, and pricing is billed per treatment in CHF (with partial coverage by Swiss health insurers depending on the patient's policy). An outpatient follow-up network (Ambulante Weiterbegleitung) connects discharged patients with independent therapists for continued care across Ayurveda, Traditional European Naturopathy, nutritional counseling, Shiatsu, yoga, and breath therapy, but these referrals generate little direct service revenue for JIVITA. Strategic partners include EGK-Gesundheitskasse (co-developing digital complementary-medicine offerings), the Swiss Cancer League (Krebsliga) for oncology nutrition counseling, and the Verein Integrative Kliniken association.

In December 2024, Klinik Hirslanden, with JIVITA as partner institution, became the first certified 'Integrative Clinic' in Greater Zurich. The company has no proprietary technology platform and no disclosed external funding; growth has been financed internally by co-founders and co-CEOs Isabelle Bietenholz-Lieger and Martina Brönnimann. Revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed, and the operational footprint remains concentrated in the Greater Zürich metropolitan area.

Core offering

JIVITA delivers complementary and integrative medicine services directly to inpatients within partner hospitals in the Greater Zurich area, including physician-led consultations, manual therapies (Ayurvedic oil massage, Myoreflex zone massage, foot reflexology, classical massage), aromatherapy, wraps and compresses, and breath therapy. The offering is embedded into hospital workflows via bedside delivery by JIVITA-employed therapists. A secondary outpatient follow-up network (Ambulante Weiterbegleitung) connects discharged patients with independent therapists for continued complementary care at home or in private practice.

Product overview

Jivita is a Swiss integrative medicine company that operates as a service provider rather than a software product company. Its core offering is the delivery of complementary medical therapies within partner hospitals (stationary service), including physician consultations, manual therapies (Ayurvedic massage, reflexology, classical massage), aromatherapy, breath therapy, and therapeutic wraps/compresses. This stationary service is delivered at Klinik Hirslanden Zürich on all wards, and on the maternity ward at Hirslanden Klinik im Park. A secondary offering is the outpatient follow-up network (Ambulante Weiterbegleitung), which connects discharged patients with independent therapists in private practices for continued care across Ayurveda, Traditional European Naturopathy (TEN), nutritional counseling, breath therapy, Shiatsu, and yoga. The stationary and outpatient offerings form a continuum-of-care model from hospital to home.
