Hi Everyone,
Welcome!
I was born and raised in a very small village high in the Alps of French
speaking Switzerland. Upon completion of my Baccalauréat, I pursued further
studies in philosophy and divinity in France, Belgium, Great Britain and
completed an M.A. degree in Community Development and Social Communications in Edmonton, Alberta. During an unforgettable university study tour to main land
China in1978, I discovered the arts of Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong which I
learned and kept practicing since.
Keen in seeing more of the world, I worked for 16 years in various parts of Africa, first as a volunteer with various self-help and church projects, and
later as a Consultant and Researcher IEC (information, education,
communication) with a variety of international development agencies and
university projects. Feeling gradually the need to re-grow some roots, my wife
and I eventually settled down in Canada where I spent 10 years in Health
Promotion with Community Health Centers and Regional Health Units until time
came to take a new leap from illness prevention to therapy, energy work and
vibrational medicine.
My initial interest in energy (Qi) brought me in contact with a variety of
energy healing modalities. I trained in Therapeutic Touch™ and have been a ‘Recognized Practitioner' with the Therapeutic Touch Network, Ontario (www.therapeutictouchnetwk.com) since 1997; I have been a certified Healing
Touch (www.healingtouch.net) practitioner since 2000.
Feeling the need to develop more hands-on techniques to complement my energy
work, I graduated with a three year Zen Shiatsu Diploma
from the Shiatsu School of Canada, Inc., (www.shiatsucanada.com) and
a Certificate in Tui Na Chinese Massage from the Ontario College
of Traditional Chinese Medicine (www.octcm.com) in Toronto.
Since then, I added a psychotherapy component to my services, namely BEAM
Therapy™ (www.beamtherapy.org) and I have been a recognized therapist in that
modality since February 2004. With extensive multi-cultural and energy work experience, I considerably expanded my vision of health care over time and notably sharpened my empathy
and respect for people from all walks of life.
I am looking forwards to offering you an original blend of natural holistic
therapies for both your body and mind.
