MAENATURO, naturopath specialized in IBS
Hello everyone ! That's it, after 10 years of interest in naturopathy and a studious retraining with the CNR André Lafon, I can now devote myself fully to what matters most to me. My passion becomes my job: I can finally make sharing the values of naturopathy my daily life. Naturopathy is an art that invites us to (re)learn to listen to our body and take care of ourselves. Living at the frantic pace of modernity, time seems to slip through our fingers. We no longer succeed to take breaks to refocus on ourselves and on what truly matters to us. A little lost and disoriented, we often run out of energy. In the summer of 2022, almost 60% of French people declared feeling tired. No wonder, between the "always faster, always more", the presence of various environmental pollutants, ranging from food contaminants, the water we drink and the air we breathe, to the audiovisual pollutants that surround us, constantly urging us to do this or to buy that. If it wasn’t enough already, there is a social injunction of success and happiness: you have to work quickly, properly, smiling; and above all to follow a certain social model which does not fit all. Naturopathy is a complementary approach to conventional medicine. It uses recent scientific and medical studies to reconnect with ancestral practices that have retained their usefulness today. Far from being opposed to conventional medicine, naturopathy and other so-called natural or alternative practices are making a resurgence in hospitals in the US, but also more discreetly in France. We see more and more sophrologists, hypnotherapists, and even naturopaths working together with medical professionals to offer the best possible care to their patients. Naturopathy is particularly effective when used for its primary purpose: prevention. But also, in the treatment of chronic pathologies where its complementary action to conventional medicine finds all its interest. Natural techniques make it possible in particular to soothe the side effects of certain medications and heavy medical treatments. They also sometimes make it possible to obtain very good results where conventional medicine sometimes finds itself in an impasse. I choose to specialize in gut health and digestive disorders from which I have suffered a lot during almost 10 years of medical wandering. They are also a major issue today: they affect nearly 40% of the world's population, with the highest percentages of patients found in our Western countries. I want to invite everyone to live life in full health, a feeling that most of us have forgotten. Sleeping little, feeling bloated, stressed or constantly tired seems normal to us today. And yet, these symptoms prevent us from feeling good enough to use all our energy towards the projects that truly matter to us. Fortunately, reclaiming our well-being is possible. The naturopath is a facilitator, he can help us reconnect our body to our mind. He is also an educator who shares his knowledge of tools to preserve our health and well-being. Naturopathy, far from opposing traditions and modernity, combines them to meet the challenges we face today. It is a philosophy that guides us in times of change, towards more autonomy and common sense. It is a first step towards a healthy, benevolent, peaceful and joyful life. As a Naturopath, I make myself available to anyone who wishes a guide to accompany them on their way to full health and well-being by offering naturopathic consultations, programs and relaxing massages. My door is always open to you, for a moment of listening, sharing, advice or simply because you need a moment to wind down.
