Your speaker : LAURENTINE SALAZAR
With a background in business studies, Laurentine hasn't always been involved in well-being, and this turning point came after a serious burn-out.
After years of hating her body and her job, and losing part of her health in the process, something clicked.
On her own, she lost the 35kg of stress and sedentary lifestyle she'd accumulated in her previous job when she left it; and thanks to a self-taught diet rebalancing, and her new "addiction" to the gym.
Her reconversion then came naturally: 2 state diplomas in sports coaching, 2 Pilates certifications, one in Sport-santé.
Then 2 training courses of 200H each Yoga alliance internationale, the last of which led by Gemma Vassallo and Prashant Pandey live-visio from India.
At the same time, she is training in Neuroscience to help her students achieve 360°, because she knows just how much the body and mind need to be in communion to heal and achieve deeper goals.
Epicurean and cheerful, she likes to mix her practices with her other passions: nature, travel, good healthy food but without frustrations.
Her practices are therefore a blend of Pilates and gentle yoga (Hatha, Yin and Nidra), personal development and Magic Hands massages, for complete guidance, with the warmth and kindness typical of her Colombian origins.
