Integrative Health | Naturopathy & Hypnosis

You are your own best ally. Perhaps you’ve momentarily forgotten that. Are you facing a challenge, trying to get through a difficult time, or wanting to take back control of your health and your life? I’ll support you while respecting your needs and your limits.

Introduction

Sometimes you need a helping hand

Socrates spoke of a daimon, that inner voice that warned him before he made a mistake; the Romans called it the genius, that companion received at birth. Every culture, in its own way, has given a name to this intimate ally. We all have one. But sometimes fatigue, stress, a difficult situation, or illness can drown out that little voice, and we can no longer quite hear ourselves.

Milton Erickson, the father of modern hypnosis, liked to say that every person already carries within themselves the resources for their own change, and that the therapist’s role is simply to facilitate access to them. This idea resonates with me, and I would even go a step further: sometimes these resources need a gentle nudge to remind us of their presence. Hypnosis, naturopathy, and all related fields are ways to help you on your journey and enable you to reconnect with your life and your body.

Because, at the end of the day, taking care of your mental, emotional, and physical health is, above all, about cultivating a peaceful relationship with yourself so that you can live life to the fullest, in harmony with your values and needs.

Depending on your needs, I’ll work with you by incorporating various approaches (hypnosis, naturopathy, coaching, etc.) into my sessions to provide you with personalized care that’s right for you.

ABOUT US

About me and my approach

My curiosity and creativity are driving forces in my practice, and the solid training I’ve acquired in several therapeutic fields allows me to offer you an integrative perspective and approach to health and well-being.

The society we live in tends to make us believe that we should be able to meet all our needs and answer all our questions on our own. That being “autonomous” means not needing anyone. I do not subscribe to this view. For me, resilience is a quality that requires the presence of others and the support of the community. The therapist is not an all-knowing, all-powerful figure but a facilitator with specific knowledge.

Before techniques come attitude. No judgment on what you’re going through, no imposed roadmap, but a clear direction and goal that you define. You come with your story and your own pace; that’s where we start working from, not in spite of it.

My role is to provide a framework that’s solid enough for you to feel grounded, yet open enough for something new to emerge. As a certified naturopath and hypnotherapist, I am ASCA-accredited. My training covers Ericksonian hypnosis, PTR (reassociative) hypnosis, naturopathy (traditional European medicine), and Ikigai coaching.
Neuroatypical individuals will find here a space where their way of functioning is fully taken into account.

TESTIMONIALS

A few words from people who dared

Profile icon

I made an appointment to supplement my cardiology care with a naturopathic approach. During my first visit, I had a small sore on my foot that was itching. Ms. Taverney noticed it, and after examining me and asking me some questions, she sent me to the emergency room! And thankfully so, because it was infected and getting worse quickly. Once I finished my treatment for the infection, I went back to see Ms. Taverney for my main concern, and I’m very happy with the care and my progress. I also feel reassured knowing that my naturopath is attentive to my health and recognizes the warning signs. Thank you!

I consulted her for my fear of driving, which was becoming increasingly irrational following a car accident. I really liked her very gentle approach, respectful and attentive to my needs. In just a few sessions, I could feel a difference in my approach to driving and felt more serenity and confidence. I highly recommend her.

My son had suffered from migraines for several years and after a few hypnosis sessions, he no longer has them! As for my daughter, she went for help with her lack of self-confidence, and the sessions did her a world of good.

You are registered with ASCA. Will my sessions be reimbursed?

This depends on the therapies and your supplementary insurance.

Generally speaking, Hypnosis is not reimbursed as it is not on the list of 590 pricing methods (the Tarmed equivalent of complementary medicine). However, some complementary health insurance companies, depending on their contracts, have decided to reimburse this approach. It's up to you to check with your complementary insurance company. Naturopathy and Touch for Health, on the other hand, are therapies listed in the 590 tariff and are more widely reimbursed by complementary insurance companies, but you should check with your insurer.

What are your qualifications?

My training courses total more than the minimum hours required for ASCA certification. In addition, I continue to train every year. You can find details of my training on the "About me" page.
