Naturotherapy & Integrative Health

Awareness and Prevention

This path is new, beautiful, and clearly laid out before me: all I have to do is follow it. After long months of study and putting words to my inner knowledge, I can finally pass on what I have learned. With more than fifty years of lifestyle experience, family teachings, travels around the world, fascinating and intoxicating detours, diplomas to show society that I followed the rules, and several thousand dollars invested, I feel ready to share this with you and with anyone who needs support in understanding the essential point: awakening thought. Your thoughts guide your choices. The body rarely wins over the mind unless it is in real pain. If you want to understand how to avoid pain, bitterness, disillusionment, or how to look at life with optimism and hope, I can offer simple, accessible tools and ways to use them. Through workshops, private classes, or talks, you can come and nourish yourself with me and understand prevention as a way to replace healing.

The Health by herbs

Born into a family of women who were part witches, part elves, and part adventurers, I was lucky to receive, from a very young age, the tools to understand nature and its place in our lives. Nourishing Mother Earth is the foundation on which we build. I deeply believe that what we need to maintain joy in a healthy body can be found beneath our feet. Plants are there to nourish the living beings around them — animals and humans alike — in the sense of survival, prevention, and healing. More recently, humans have transformed plants into synthetic capsules, but thousands of years earlier, people studied their environment in order to survive. Everyone has the free will either to take from and destroy the hand that feeds them, or to respect it and give back unconditionally. Today, more than ever, I want to bring anyone who is questioning back to the foundations of these extraordinary and fascinating discoveries. Health can be learned. Everyone can have access to it. Let’s take responsibility for our health!

Autonomy / self-sufficiency (food and material)

This section is a lifestyle and a goal. I aspire to apply a form of autonomy and voluntary simplicity in everyday life. I believe this term expresses something real, while remaining unique to each person. No one owns the exact definition of this lifestyle, because it adapts to so many factors: the country we live in, the climate, the means we have, where we come from, and where we are going. When I lived in the countryside, even isolated in the woods, voluntary simplicity felt obvious and easy to apply. I only had to follow the rhythm, pace, and advice of the nature around me. I listened to it, and it guided me. In the city, it is more complicated: a kind of balance between learning to define our needs and resisting nearby temptations, influences, and ready-made paths. For me, this challenge is interesting. I would be happy to share my experience and give you some tools so you can find your own way toward autonomy and simplicity.

Women and their cycles

Through workshops, private sessions, or restorative retreats, I will offer concrete tools for moving through the cycles of life: from little girl to adolescence, from young woman to adulthood, and from mother to woman. This theme is sacred to me. I observe, experience, and discover incredible things every day about the female cycle. Menopausal since the age of 41, I have gone through storms, but I have always remained an observer of the stages I was moving through so I could later pass on what I had learned. Then there were all the women and young girls who inspired me and still inspire me today. Every woman is unique and has her own story. Her experiences, hormones, trauma, lifestyle habits, where she lives, her environment, personality, endurance, and goals all matter. I offer to work privately with anyone who wants to experience my approach. My goal is to help her see the cycle she is going through from a new perspective, so she can better understand, respect, and support herself.

Yoga / Yoga Kurunta / Practical anatomy

All the forms of yoga I teach and practice define my approach. Every yoga teacher gives their teaching a personal shape. There is no room for competition or judgment: no one can fully understand what justifies another person’s approach. The student or client is responsible for seeking what speaks to them: listening to the voice, hearing the direction, following the rhythm, and letting the body express itself. Then allowing the soul to settle into the body, or the body to envelop the soul. It is an intuition, a meeting, a form of perfect coincidence that appears exactly when you need it. My approach cannot really be described. Because I am guided while I teach, I let myself be carried by what is present. I am very embodied and connected at the same time: my approach breathes this channeling. Dynamic, muscular yoga or gentle, restorative yoga; in the ropes, on a chair, dancing or meditating, balanced or grounded: I invite you to try and see for yourself. I have quite a few trainings behind me, and I remain attentive to the evolution of yoga in the West, in the East, in myself, and in you. Always curious to feel the flame, I am happy to return to my mat and sacred space every morning, and then share it with you.
