Naturopathy
Naturopathy finds its roots in various ancient trends, drawing inspiration in particular from medical principles set out by Hippocrates of Cos, often referred to as the “father of medicine”, in ancient Greece. Comparable to Ayurveda in India and traditional Chinese medicine in China, naturopathy represents traditional European medicine. In Switzerland, it benefits from recognition at the federal level.
Naturopathy adopts a holistic approach to the individual, respecting natural laws and physiological needs, in order to consider the person as a whole. In the context of naturopathy, an illness is interpreted as the result of an imbalance in the “ground”, with symptoms serving as indicators of this imbalance. The body, in its constant search for homeostasis or balance, can be disrupted by the accumulation of toxins, inadequate assimilation of nutrients, insufficient elimination of waste (emonctorial), as well as nutritional deficiencies.
Nutritherapy
If you have goals such as losing weight, better managing your blood sugar or cholesterol, taking care of your intestines, or simply optimizing your energy, I offer you a personalized assessment and advice tailored to your specific needs. To begin, a thorough assessment will help understand your current situation, your eating habits, your physical activity level, as well as other factors relevant to your overall well-being. By examining these aspects, we will be able to identify areas to target and set realistic and achievable goals. Based on your needs, I will provide you with personalized advice that could include adjustments to your diet, recommendations for appropriate physical activity, strategies to improve stress management, and suggestions to promote gut health. The approach will be holistic, taking into account the complex interaction between your diet, lifestyle and overall health. The goal is to help you achieve your goals in a sustainable way, by adopting changes that fit naturally into your daily life.
Phytotherapy
Phytotherapy constitutes the art of promoting healing through the use of plants, considered true therapeutic treasures with few side effects. These plants can be integrated for preventive or curative purposes, whether in the form of herbal teas, mother tinctures, standardized fresh plant extracts, bud macerates (gemmotherapy) or dry extracts. I favor, wherever possible, the use of plants from our regions. The quality of the remedies and the guarantee of their origin are of capital importance in my approach.
The installation of suction cups
Used as a drainage method and/or as a manual therapy, cupping is practiced in various ways depending on the problem or request. The cupping technique may be recommended in situations such as inflammatory conditions, flu, muscle and joint pain, digestive and hormonal disorders, etc. This treatment aims to reduce pain, promote a feeling of relaxation, reduce congestion and stimulate the immune system.
Reflexology
Reflexology represents a therapeutic approach aimed at strengthening physical and mental self-regulation mechanisms. This technique involves the stimulation of the reflex zones of the foot by delicate massage of the fingers, these zones being the reflection of all the organs and parts of the body. The practice of reflexology can thus be beneficial for inducing nervous and muscular relaxation, relieving pain, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, promoting better sleep, reducing stress, and strengthening the immune system.
