Physiotherapy and Personal Training

Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals with a significant role in health promotion and treatment of injury and disease.
They combine their in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability.

Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints.

Philosophy

I believe in people’ self-accomplishment, on their ability to create and to maintain meaningful and harmonious relations. However, at time we might need help and supports to develop these relations.

Philosophie

Je crois en la capacité de chacun de s’actualiser, de créer et de maintenir des relations harmonieuses. Il arrive toutefois que nous ayons besoin de soutient afin de développer ces relations. Je travaille principalement sur une base psychodynamique en intégrant des éléments d’autres approches afin de m’adapter aux besoins des individus, des couples et des familles.

Il me fera plaisir de travailler avec vous afin d’adresser vos difficultés personnelles et relationnelles liés à la communication, à la gestion des émotions, à l’intimité, à l’estime de soi, aux transitions de vie, au deuil. Nous pouvons également adresser l’impact de problèmes de santé mentale qui affecte votre vie et celles de vos proches (schizophrénie, dépression, troubles de la personnalité).

Il peut être difficile de passer à travers certaines épreuves, trouver la force de reconnaître que nous avons besoin d’aide est le premier geste vers le rétablissement. Je crois que les personnes ont les ressources nécessaires pour parvenir à leur équilibre de vie et je serais honorée de collaborer avec vous afin de vous aider à atteindre vos objectifs.
