Approach and Methods

My philosophy : From birth, an individual possesses within themselves the keys necessary for their health, development, and learning.

  • The human body is therefore naturally programmed for well-being, health, and serenity.
  • However, the traumas we experience, our upbringing, our beliefs, and the life paths we take can make these keys difficult to access—especially when they feel disorganized and scattered.
  • By guiding each individual toward a balanced state of being, I help them find the right keys and use them effectively.
  • My approach is holistic, taking into account various factors and areas of development, as well as their interactions. This means considering a person in their entirety, encompassing physical, psychological, social, energetic, and spiritual aspects.
  • It is the precise "dosage" of stimulation—in quality, quantity, and intensity—that enables cognitive development.
  • The practitioner guides the client in releasing stress and blockages, but it is the client who plays an active role in rebalancing their personal patterns.

I teach those I accompany to find the keys they need and to use them in the right locks of their body.

Stimulating Vision

Long considered secondary, it has been proven that the neural structures responsible for vision are also those that enable the development of the other senses, thus promoting optimal cognitive development.

This is why working on vision and its various parameters is essential !

MOVEMENTS

Movements are present in the human body from its very creation. Cells being formed in utero are in oscillation. The characteristics of a movement (amplitude, rhythm, etc.) provide a wealth of information about a person's state of health.

BRAIN/NEURAL PLASTICITY

Stimulations that optimize the body's natural neuronal or brain plasticity. They allow for the development of cognitive abilities and contribute to improved well-being and better health.

APPROPRIATE STIMULATION TOOLS

Because sometimes it's necessary to help the body progress faster, stimulate vision to regain its quality, and relax the body and mind so that learning new skills isn't stressful.

Proprioceptive stimulation and kinesthetic range of motion :

  • Proprioception is the conscious perception of the different parts of the body in space without relying on vision. Movements that stimulate neuronal (or cerebral) plasticity allow a person to recover cognitive and sensory abilities. A body with adequate freedom of movement naturally stimulates its physiological functions throughout the day and thus maintains good health.

Arthrokinetic stimulation :

  • This refers to movements related to joints. The body also has a memory of movements, and it is through this form of memorization that it integrates information and retains it.

The Integration of Primitive Reflexes :

  • Primitive reflexes are linked to patterns and affect all bodily spheres: cognitive, emotional, and physical. Primitive reflexes are essential elements for motor development. The purpose of a primitive reflex is to enable the learning of "primordial" movements indispensable to an individual's development. When these movements are not properly integrated, the body will then function via "stressful" neurological pathways.

The Activation of Life Reflexes:

  • Life reflexes, on the other hand, are designed to protect the body and maintain its homeostasis. They must be activated throughout a person's life.

Frequency stimulations :

  • Sounds resonate and vibrate the body, its fascia, cells, and fluids. They promote the body's biological functions and thus reharmonize the mind-body connection. Vibrational frequencies have an impact on an individual's biological and psychological functioning. Music or instruments tuned to 432 Hz (A) are used for this technique, as well as bone conduction stimulation.

Relaxation :

  • This is a general term encompassing several techniques. It consists of physical and mental relaxation resulting from a reduction in muscle tone and nervous tension. The goal of relaxation is to place the body and mind outside of time, in order to pause in the present moment. In our world of perpetual agitation and numerous daily demands, both mind and body need moments of RELAXATION, moments where tension disappears.

Some examples of stimulation

Health is not simply defined as the absence of disease or infirmity.

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being."

Health is thus considered in its entirety. It is associated with the concept of well-being.
