Professional background
About Me:
I am a Swiss Heilpraktiker (Alternative Health Practitioner - IFH, Saarbrücken, Germany). I have a podiatry diploma (Geneva, Switzerland) with a University degree in Physiology of Posture and Gait (Faculty of Science, University of Paris, France).
In 1993 I began to work as a Podiatrist in my first clinic in Geneva (Switzerland). Five years later I moved into a Therapeutic Centre and slowly introduced my skills of Holistic Health Practitioner treating women throughout pregnancy, Newborns, Children, Teenagers, Adults and Seniors until 2007. I also belonged to a massage group where we massaged Disabled Children and Adults as part of an association called “Cerebral Genève”.
Throughout these years I've taught massage for beginners as well as Podiatry techniques.
In 2007 having arrived in New Zealand I later opened my clinic in 2008 in Masterton offering Holistic and Healing Massages, Bodywork, Reflexology, Laser Treatments, Aromatherapy, Flower Essences, Meditation and Energy Works.
I started my first workshop in 2009 with Medicine Woman in Taupo on the Healer and Shamanic Teacher plants. Followed by the whole curriculum to learn the other NZ Plant Essences and I am now preparing blends for my clients as part of my range of modalities and services.
I've provided Massage at the Masterton Cancer Society for five years and organized the Massage Team at The Relay for Life in 2011 .
I worked at Hospice Wairarapa from 2011 to 2019, giving Nurturing Touch sessions to the patients (and occasionally to the family) at the Hospice and also provide outreach at their residence. This has been very uplifting to provide nurturing support for those People nearing the end of their great life transition and to bring them that peace and serenity before their great trip.
Beginning of 2018 I felt I needed to add another modality to stimulate the body in a different way I was already doing. Having experienced at different occasions sound therapy (table with strings under me, two practitioners playing digeridoos and moving around me, gong baths and others), I opted for tuning forks and I trained with David Hulse (USA). That was an amazing starting journey where I am developing more skills with the subtle energies of the body.
Presently, I am a student at the International School of Homeopathy (HIS) of Dr Broussalian, and discovering the Homeopathy according to the Organon 6th edition (the last principles and discoveries form Samuel Hahnemann the founder of homeopathy). I cannot stop to be amazed by this medicine and its results. I am becoming strongly passionate about it!
