Your expert: nancy giraudeau - naturopath and reflexologist
His background is atypical.
In 2012, she found herself unable to do her job, and was forced to take a long break, while questioning her future.
She then undertook a skills assessment which, unsurprisingly, revealed her need to help others.
During her introspection, she devoured books on plants and natural methods for taking care of herself and feeling better.
Her path is clear.
Nancy joins the IFSH (Institut Français des Sciences de l'Homme) in Nantes for a two-year course.
Graduating in 2015, she set up her practice in Cholet, her hometown, and has been helping her patients get better ever since, thanks to the tools naturopathy provides.
Your expert: Cathy NAGAT - Neurobehavioral weight loss coach
After working for almost 15 years in an aesthetic clinic, Cathy has worked with many overweight patients.
Traditional techniques (surgical or non-invasive via cryolipolysis) work very well, but do not treat the origin of this weight gain.
Some patients were gaining weight again.
Faced with this bitter realization, Cathy decided to train in neuroscience and epigenetics to become a Neurobehavioral Weight Loss Coach.
His highly personal method focuses on 3 areas:
- Reconnecting with your body by feeling your true hunger and satiety
- Managing emotions and stress
- Transgenerational beliefs, injunctions and drivers
Guided by listening, caring and non-judgment, Cathy says little about food, which is only a symptom, but helps her customers improve their self-esteem by overcoming stress and limiting beliefs.
Cathy takes a holistic approach to understanding each individual and is convinced that fun, enjoyment and self-awareness can be perfectly combined with sustainable weight loss.
