Sybill Huessen is no more, a shock to all who knew her. A radiant soul, a golden heart, a wonderful person with whom I've spent many memorable hours. We laughed a lot, discussed the world, teased each other with sports scores between the Netherlands and Germany, and enjoyed delicious food with wine she always wanted to taste herself before approving it.

With the same 100% dedication, she cared for her assistants, students, and patients during the pulse trainings she provided, making her knowledge unforgettable. Shen-Hammer was made easy to learn as ABC, step by step, teaching how to feel the words patients spoke through their pulse. She understood it, embodied it, and passed it on to countless colleagues.

She will be missed by everyone who knew her, especially by those she had forever in her heart. Dear dear darling, thank you for all the beauty. It was extraordinary.
