"Take care of your body so that your soul wants to stay there."
Gandhi
The sessions are open to everyone, regardless of age and individual characteristics.
One session promotes relaxation that lasts well beyond the appointment; multiple sessions allow you to work in-depth on a specific theme.
Shiatsu: Pressures and Stretches
On the floor, wearing comfortable, long clothing
Originating from Japan and rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is over 3,000 years old, Shiatsu, meaning "finger pressure," aims to harmonize the energy flowing through the body. I incorporate Korean relaxation and Thai massage to ensure your body is fully receptive.
By using manual pressures, mainly with the thumbs, stretches, and gentle mobilizations along the meridians, Shiatsu brings well-being and relaxation.
Full-Body Oil Massage
On the table, in underwear, with organic oils
The Californian massage is a holistic approach that aims as much for relaxation as it does for awakening psycho-body awareness. It consists of long, slow, and fluid movements adapted to the individual's needs. It provides deep physical and mental relaxation.
Starting with soft, enveloping, and relaxing strokes, the maneuvers flow and intensify to relieve your deepest tensions.
For deeper relaxation and lasting benefits, hot basalt stones can be incorporated.
Energy Balancing
On the table, fully clothed
This session promotes the harmonious flow of energy throughout the body to recharge it and release any discomfort. It involves no massage or mobilization.
Providing your body with additional energy that naturally directs itself to areas in need, energy balancing is done through light hand touches.
Abdominal Practice on Internal Organs
On the floor, fully clothed, abdomen exposed
Called Tchi Nei Tsang or Ampuku, this technique involves a massage of the internal organs (liver, stomach, intestines, spleen, etc.). In Chinese energetic medicine, the abdomen is considered the seat of our emotions, and balancing it is essential for emotional harmony. The work on the organs also indirectly and preventively affects immunity.
Combining breathing techniques with manual massage on tension points in the belly, energy knots are released, and harmonious energy circulation is restored.
This session primarily helps to:
- Relieve digestive issues
- Alleviate lower back pain
- Reduce anxiety and stress
- Strengthen the body's self-healing abilities
ESPERE® Session: Improving Relationships
The ESPERE® Method is a therapeutic relationship pedagogy developed by psychosociologist Jacques Salomé.
Starting from a specific situation, a work related to your unconscious gently unfolds, using external visualization and symbolic objects.
A session helps clarify a situation and change its perception. Several sessions lead to the resolution of deeper issues.
The ESPERE® Method helps to:
- Improve relationships with oneself and others
- Face situations without being overwhelmed by emotions
I also offer sessions for multiple people, benefiting from mutual listening (couple, parent-child, sibling, friends, colleagues). Each person expresses themselves in turn and listens to the other.
Psycho-Physical Sessions
Individual: Regaining Your Place and Confidence
I support you through a deep process during difficult times in your life where extra help is crucial to overcome a hurdle: grief, separation, career transition, smoking cessation, other addictions, illness, work burnout, and more.
"If you listen to your body when it whispers, you won't have to hear it scream."
Tibetan Wisdom
In each session, a psycho-physical workshop is set up to help identify emotions, beliefs, limitations, phobias, and blockages, focusing on the body and its reactions.
For this, I use various practices such as:
- External visualization
- Multi-sensory stimulation (inspired by EMDR and EFT)
- Hyperventilation
- Unblocking conscious and unconscious limitations
From one session to the next, I suggest small practical tasks to integrate the work into everyday life.
Group Sessions: Getting Along Better to Find Yourself Again
I receive individuals in pairs or groups so they can benefit from mutual listening: parents/children, siblings, family, couples, friends, colleagues.
I primarily use:
- External visualization
- Family and professional systemic analysis
- ESPERE® Method
