Career
Bierbach first trained to become a tailor. She became interested in alternative medicine,[1] and took her exam as heilpraktiker in 1991. After running her own practice,[2] she took over a private school for the profession in Bielefeld in 1992, expanded it and named it Heilpraktikerschule Bierbach.[1][2] The school was accredited as Verbandsschule by the Bund Deutscher Heilpraktiker (BDH), the union of heilpraktiker in Germany, in 1995, as the second school with that distinction.[1] It is one of few BDH certified schools.[3][4] She became a member of the organisation's advisory board,[5] and has engaged in social and political organizations related to the field.[6]
She has written and edited several books on the subject of alternative medicine including Naturheilpraxis Heute (Practice of natural healing),[2] and has lectured in the field.[2][6] A revised version of Naturheilpraxis Heute, with an added Lernkompass to help with examinations, appeared in 2021.[7] Bierbach is editor (Herausgeberin) of a trade journal, Deutsche Heilpraktikerzeitung (German heilpraktiker newspaper).[6] She is responsible for the press for the Gesamtkonferenz Deutscher Heilpraktikerverbände und Fachgesellschaften, a union of associations of heilpraktiker.[8]
In 2015, Bierbach contributed a section to an exhibition of the Naturwissenschaftliches Museum Flensburg , titled An der Nase herumgeführt, about the biology of the sense of smell.[9]
