Following an accident, I discovered Reiki. This practice literally helped me to get out of depression and overcome the fear of returning to my workplace, the very place where the accident had occurred.
Reiki has proven to be much more than a technique: a powerful, generous, effective, and timeless energetic approach. Through my training and certification, I finally found profound meaning in my life. A clear path emerged: I wanted to support others through their own challenges.
For over 14 years, I have been continuously training in different fields in order to offer my clients ever richer and more comprehensive support.
Because each person is unique. Each carries their own story, inscribed within their very being. Through Reiki and the other practices I incorporate, I expand the possibilities for support to best meet the needs of each individual.
Today, I am also a yoga and postural stretching teacher. I organize workshops and retreats, offering varied experiences designed primarily for women — young or old — who feel the need to reconnect with themselves.
What could be more exhilarating than continuing to marvel at what music can offer us! A revelation I experienced during a workshop I attended in Nantes in 2022 with Elisabeth (my wife), organized by Manuel Mahé (sound therapist), opened up new horizons for me. The conclusion is simple: the extent of the health benefits that the world of sound can provide is certainly underestimated, and its potential for musical creativity is infinite. I'm a true "sound fanatic"!

The day begins at 7:30 am with two hours of Sadhana, a time devoted to the practice of yoga, exploration and self-awareness.
The word sādhana (Sanskrit) means spiritual discipline or regular practice directed towards a goal. It encompasses all conscious actions undertaken to develop oneself inwardly. Sādhana is the practical path, not just the theory.
Throughout the session, we discover and explore different aspects of yoga, including anatomy and body awareness, and breathing techniques.
Each day will begin with this morning practice.
