I trained as an educator of young children and worked for over 12 years in a specialised environment, in particular with people suffering from autism.
For me, caring for people, altruism, listening and human values are just some of the values that motivate me.

I’ve trained in traditional Thai massage and head massage, always in the spirit of going deep to connect with oneself. Stimulating the body, helping it to regenerate and relax.
Thai massage is inspired by Chinese and Indian medicine (acupuncture pressure using the thumbs, kneading and stretching… pressure adapted to each individual). It is practised in soft clothing, without oil, on the floor on a futon.
It stimulates the lymphatic and blood systems. It boosts the immune system and boosts energy levels.
Liberates the body and mind.

Tuesdays (July/August) – By prior arrangement
1h00: 80 € | 30 minutes: 50 €

After spending years as a yoga teacher, I trained in Abhyanga massage in 2017.

Wellness has always been among my key values, and my heart is set on sharing with you the ancestral traditions that have been passed on to me.

I am convinced that mental and emotional wellbeing can be achieved through the body, and vice-versa!

Abhyanga massage is an ancient Ayurvedic ritual, traditionally performed with warm oil. The entire body is enveloped from head to toe, resulting in a vigorous balancing effect on the three forms of biological intelligence, called Doshas.

This dynamic and powerful technique restores the flow of energy. The movements gently apply pressure to release tension, improve blood and lymph circulation, and boost the immune system.

As a certified NeurOptimal® practitioner, I offer introductory sessions to this innovative method so that you can make the most of your holidays by offering your brain a real moment of relaxation and letting go.

Because physical well-being depends on brain well-being, NeurOptimal® dynamic neurofeedback, thanks to neuroscience and technological innovations, enables you to update your brain without making any effort, simply by treating yourself to a moment of relaxation to music.
Your brain is informed of its activity by brief interruptions in the sound, which anchors you in the present moment and reconnects it to its resources, so that it naturally focuses on what’s good for you and steers you away from bad habits with ease.

Other benefits of this brain training programme include
– more recuperative sleep
– improved mental performance (less rumination, greater clarity and concentration)
– improved physical performance (relaxation, fluidity, flexibility) better regulation of your emotions
– better self-esteem – more letting go
– more confidence
– more lightness

4 years ago, I left my first job as a school teacher to move to the Ardèche and teach children in a different way, through the practice of yoga, breathing, welcoming emotions and tools to help them refocus and concentrate.

In these workshops, I want to give children, accompanied by their parents, the chance to experience a joyful moment when their imagination takes them on extra-ordinary journeys combining yoga, breathing, relaxation through sound or storytelling, creating mandalas and so on.

These sessions will be precious times for the children, enabling them to recognise the emotions that run through them and gain a better understanding of their bodies. It’s also a special moment, a break between parent and child.

PAST EVENT – July/August,Sunday – Book ahead
