Papis Nathalie (Genève)

Trained as a medical assistant and the mother of 3 young adults, I developed a passion for alternative medicine at a very early age, and am fascinated by how human potential functions and develops. My ability to listen and support people has developed over the course of my life. Aikido, which I've been practicing for 11 years, enables me to develop a harmonious relationship between body, heart-mind and ki (vital energy).

My experience has led me to discover the importance of an individual's physical, mental and emotional balance in acquiring and improving skills, so I turned to personal development techniques. A search for a holistic approach led me to kinesiology and Chinese Tuina massage.

With kinesiology, I find effective tools to help people reconnect with their resources and potential in order to achieve their short- and long-term goals. In my helping practice, I focus on :

• a person-centered approach that respects people's values,

• attentive and active listening,

• a gentle, pleasant approach. You don't have to suffer to get better. It's through gentleness and self-respect that we can achieve the best results.

My work is aimed at anyone wishing to improve their well-being, personal and professional skills, from young children to teenagers in search of an identity and adults. Kinesiology enables deep and lasting solutions to our difficulties.

With traditional Chinese Tuina massage, I help you to become aware of the various tensions in your body, and to rediscover a state of deep relaxation. This massage maintains or re-establishes the energy flows that keep the body healthy.
