Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
Originating from a millennia-old medical tradition, traditional Chinese acupuncture aims to harmonize the body and mind by precisely stimulating key energy points. It supports the body's natural functions, soothes deep-seated tensions, and promotes a lasting state of balance.
In my practice, acupuncture is first and foremost a human connection. I place great importance on listening to and building a relationship with my patients.
Each session is an opportunity to understand your needs and support your body with tailored treatments, using a caring and respectful approach.

Acupuncture is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, from stress, headaches, and fatigue to digestive problems, muscle pain, and anxiety. Thin needles are inserted into specific points on the body located along channels called meridians, which were mapped in China more than 3,000 years ago.
One of the most remarkable aspects of acupuncture is the rarity of side effects. Most patients find the treatments relaxing and beneficial for the body's balance.
Acupuncture is a safe technique when performed by a qualified professional. However, it is important to inform your practitioner of your medical history, your medications or a possible pregnancy in order to adapt the treatment if necessary.
It is not necessary to wait for health problems to appear before receiving treatment. Acupuncture can also be used preventatively. A session at each change of season can help support the body's balance and maintain optimal health.

Our acupuncture services
Cosmetic facial acupuncture
Cosmetic facial acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into the face and body. This process increases blood flow to the face, helps eliminate inflammation and stimulates collagen production. It improves skin quality and radiance in a completely natural way. In addition, points will also be placed on the entire body in order to optimize your overall health.
Auriculotherapy
Auriculotherapy, derived from the foundations of Chinese medicine and enriched by precise mapping of the ear as a reflection of the entire body, is a subtle and profoundly effective approach. Each ear point becomes an access door to an organ, a function, an emotion. In the clinic, I use both fine needles to precisely stimulate these points, as well as small stickers (seeds or beads) that you can keep for a few days, thus extending the benefits of the treatment into your daily life. This gentle continuity helps anchor energy work, accompany the nervous system and support the body between sessions, in an approach that is both modern, personalized and deeply rooted in tradition.
Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture combines traditional acupuncture with mild electrical stimulation applied to certain needles. This technique makes it possible to intensify the effect of the treatment, in particular to relieve pain, relax the muscles and stimulate the circulation of energy in the body.
Scalp Acupuncture
Scalp acupuncture is a technique that involves stimulating specific points on the scalp. It is often used to support the nervous system and can help relieve certain types of pain, neurological conditions, and tension, while promoting balance and the flow of energy throughout the body.
Traditional Chinese acupuncture
Traditional Chinese acupuncture, practiced for more than 2,000 years, aims to restore balance to the body by supporting the circulation of energy (Qi). It gently accompanies the body, soothes the mind and promotes lasting health. Each session is an invitation to come back to yourself, to cultivate vitality, harmony and well-being over time.

Complementary care
In addition to traditional acupuncture, different techniques from Chinese medicine and natural therapeutic approaches can be integrated into the treatment. These complementary treatments support the work carried out with acupuncture, deepen the effects of the treatment and address certain specific needs of the body.
Depending on your situation, different methods can be used such as gua sha, cupping, auriculotherapy, moxibustion or tuning fork therapy. These techniques aim to promote the circulation of energy, release tension, support the body's balance and improve general well-being.
Several other types of care are also available.
-
Gua sha is a natural alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health, tackling issues like chronic pain.
-
Cupping therapy is an ancient technique that uses suction to release muscle tension, stimulate circulation and relieve pain. Used for thousands of years, it promotes relaxation, well-being and body balance.
-
Nadia studied with Eileen Day McKusick, an internationally recognized leader in the fields of therapeutic sound and the human biofield. This approach is based on the idea that the energy field that surrounds and passes through the body is closely linked to our physical, mental and emotional well-being. Through working with therapeutic tuning forks, it is possible to help restore harmony in this energy field and support the overall balance of the body.
-
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy in which dried plant materials called "moxa" are burned on or very near the surface of the skin. The intention is to warm and invigorate the flow of Qi in the body and to dispel certain pathogenic influences.
-
Foot reflexology therapy is a natural therapeutic method derived from studies based on the principle that there are reflexes in the body that correspond to other parts, glands and organs of the body. By applying pressure to these reflexes, reflexology therapy can relieve tension, improve circulation and support the body's function to function optimally.
-
Acupressure is a massage therapy technique based on theories of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that uses finger pressure to mobilize chi – or life force energy – to specific locations on the body called acupressure points, also known as acupuncture points.
-
The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s wisdom or higher power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
A treatment gives the sensation of a wonderful luminous glow flowing through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person, including the body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.
During a reiki session, the hands are placed on or above the body, moving from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet, to help release and heal the body.
