Our complementary therapies

Acupuncture (TCM)

What is Chinese medicine?

Acupuncture consists of stimulating points on the meridian paths or energy channels using thin, sterile, single-use metal needles. The stimulation of the acupuncture points regulates the Qi or energy and restores balance. Chinese medicine is a combination of ancient Chinese philosophy and clinical experience, which has formed a comprehensive theory of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. It takes a holistic approach to the relationship between the environment and well-being. It uses various methods such as acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, auricular therapy, herbal medicine and Tuina (massage).

Indications

There are many conditions that can be treated with acupuncture, the most common of which are listed below: gynaecological disorders and pregnancy, pain related problems, respiratory disorders, digestive disorders, dermatological problems, all forms of allergies, blood pressure disorders, weight problems, post operative management, insomnia, depression. This list is not exhaustive and we remain at your disposal to discuss your health problems and to find a therapeutic scheme to cure or relieve them.

Ericksonian hypnosis

Ericksonian hypnosis is a discipline of personal development that uses the natural capacity of the human brain to modify its state of consciousness and, thanks to this, to alter certain sensory, physiological or psychological functions in order to achieve the patient's conscious objectives.
In concrete terms, this state of consciousness modification induced by the therapist acts on parts of the brain that the client does not consciously control. Thus, hypnosis allows the client to overcome unconscious resistance and blockages in order to move more quickly towards the desired objective without internal conflicts.
Hypnosis allows the conscious and unconscious mind to communicate together to trigger the changes necessary to solve the problem.
The advantage of the Ericksonian approach is that the patient actively participates in his hypnotherapy, he is active and has the choice. They are not controlled by the therapist, it is a collaborative relationship.

Price: 130 CHF for a 60 minute session

Kinesiology

Discover the power of kinesiology to rebalance your body and mind. Using muscle testing and stress response, our therapists will identify physical, energetic and emotional imbalances. The body guides us to release and balance emotions, pain, memories and trauma...

Once these imbalances have been identified, we apply the appropriate treatment validated by muscle testing: reflexology, massage, meridian points, dialogue and much more.

Take advantage of this valuable tool, which works without going through the mind, to regain well-being and harmony.

Prenatal massage

Prenatal massage is a form of massage reserved for pregnant women to relieve the pain accumulated during pregnancy. This massage involves gentle effleurage, friction and pressure on the body. The strokes are gentle and performed from the bottom up to drain the body.

Relieve muscular pain and tension
Relieve leg cramps
Prevent and treat water retention
Alleviate pregnancy-related pain
Promote sleep and recovery
Prepare the pelvis for childbirth
Alleviate nausea
Prevent stretch marks
Reduce fatigue and increase energy

Metamorphic massage

Metamorphic massage reconnects the patient to their past in order to bring about a physical and psychic transformation in order to regain strength. This treatment is particularly appropriate for addressing physical, emotional and mental suffering.
We will address reactions to significant events that have sometimes been hidden deep inside; we will deal with issues of disagreement and anger that are often internalised.
Metamorphic massage is practised mainly on three areas of the body:

The feet, symbols of movement
The hands, symbols of action
The head, which is related to thinking and reflection

With metamorphic massage we will remove the suffering that causes a permanent inner turmoil. Little by little we converge towards a real well-being, a release of physical and mental tensions will gradually take place.
Each person, at his or her own pace, can react to events and act in full awareness.
The Metamorphic Massage is intended for adults and children who feel uneasy in their lives and bodies; sleep disorders, hyperactivity or hypersensitivity are the main symptoms of these feeling of unease.
7 sessions are generally recommended as a first step towards change.

Price: 130 CHF per 60-minute session

Postpartum massage

While prenatal massage aims to reduce the minor physical aches and pains associated with pregnancy (backache, heavy legs...) and to relax you, post-natal massage focuses more on recovery: Once the birth is over, and despite all the happiness that comes with it, it's not always easy to recover physically and mentally. To relieve tension and combat fatigue and stress, post-natal massage seems to be a great solution!

To take care of your baby, it's important to take care of yourself. Post-natal massage works on both the body and the mind, making it the ideal way to enjoy your baby to the full while doing something good for yourself.

What are the benefits of post-natal massage?

Post-natal massage helps you to release the tension caused by childbirth.
Post-natal massage is a moment of cocooning and real relaxation.
Post-natal massage is an excellent way of taming the new body that has just given birth.
By reducing stress and physical, mental and emotional fatigue, post-natal massage can be a fabulous tool in the fight against post-partum depression.
