    Reflexology allows to connect to the others as well as with yourself. Our paths are altogether different and similar. In any case listening and helping others is at the very center our work. So when, in 2010, we decided to join our practices, reflexology imposed itself.
    Our association goes beyond reflexology: this is a wonderful friendship story to, our own interpretation of Yin and Yang, of complementarity. With our workshops, we want to share with as many people as possible this personnal and professionnal experience.

    What is reflexology ?
    It is an ancient manual practice that is part of natural medicine, used for millennia in China, Egypt, India ... The foot is the representation of the human body. A specific touch on certain area of ​​the foot helps restore the balance of the body. Reféxology is used to:

  • Prevent, relieve, even éliminate a lot of everyday ailments.

  • What is Chinese Energetics?
    We come to the world with predispositions Yin or Yang. The external circumstances, the way of life ... can change these predispositions towards an imbalance which will result in the appearance of a pathology, a disease. The Chinese energetic allows to restore the balance between Yin and Yang, by working on the vital organs that function in pairs called Five Elements:
  • EARTH: spleen / pancreas and stomach.
