1
what is the problem?
the simple answer is that you have an
obstacle/blocage
interfering with your innate self - healing, self- regulatory process, caused by lifestyle, work, emotional state, repetitive activities and following the
structure = function principle.
that your concern/problem/symptom is based on something being in the way is follows my belief that
we are born to be well.
and further,
that if we are not that something is in the way be it structural, emotional, energetic or spiritual.
the removal
of this obstacle allows for improved brain-body communication and for self healing/regulation to re- start.
2
can i help you?
99%
of the patients I have worked with experience positive change in their condition, regardless of their age or condition.
the reason for this is always the same..
we got something out of the way.
the removal of obstacles improves the brain-body communication, provides energy to facilitate change and then the space for that change to move into.
it is
very important to understand that
while I have seen what patients often describe as miracles, i do not try to heal these patients and neither will I claim to have healed them.
i can’t cure anything,
only the body can do that and it is much easier for it to do so without something in the way.
3
how long will it take for my physical symptoms and then my problem to disappear?
everyone is different however i have seen healing fall into 3 distinct groups,
fast normal slow
whether you are fast, normal or slow depends on your lifestyle, the nature of the obstacles you have, how long you have had them, how attached you are to them, your stress levels and your compliance/ability to do the work.
natural healing depends on my ability to remove obstacles and your ability to use the improved energy, space and communication between the brain and body.
your part is the most variable as it depends on your history and lifestyle, eg. how you eat, think, move and sleep.
typically
for someone who heals normally or fast, there is an immediate reduction of symptoms, emotional or physical, after the first visit and a
70%
reduction by the end of your 3-visit protocol.
after that it takes between
6-12 weeks
of regular work to correct the problem eg. stabilise the spine, the body, the mind and then much like our teeth or a fitness level…
a lifetime
to maintain it
we will have a good idea after your 3 visit protocol if you are a fast, normal or slow healer and what it will take to make the sustainable changes you seek.
4
how much does it cost and is it reimbursed?
first visit
60 euros
second visit
50 euros
follow up visits
50 euros or our solidarity monthly program
please ask about our solidarity monthly program at your report of findings during your second visit
my office is based on humanistic principles where all people are equal, have value, qualities and worth. accordingly i pledge to always try help find solutions for those who need and want chiropractic care but have financial restrictions/concerns
5
will i need to continue to see you once my symptoms have stabilised?
this is important question - relating more to physical than emotional concerns - and one that addresses whether you have a proactive or reactive philosophy towards you health.
the dangerous misconception that we need to only do something when we have a symptiopm
the equally dangerous belief that healing comes from the outside, a pill, instead of inside where the majesty of our innate intelligence, our self healing, self regulating mechanisms are waiting patiently to do their work, one they do really well when nothing, a blocage, is preventing them from doing so
let’s look at it.
you don't have to brush your teeth - its not an obligation
you don’t have to exercise - its not an obligation
you don’t have to eat well or think positively - its not an obligation
you don’t have to continue your return to balance work with us - its not an obligation
your life is just better if you do
I will be happy to explain this when you visit the office.
6
what can you do to facilitate the natural healing process?
there are 4 pillars on which health and well-being are built.
- how we move, eat, think, recover -
paying attention to these will give the mind and body the best chance of healing, of raising immunity to stress and disease at the same time.
further to change something we need to change something, i recommemnd the below as a way of redirecting available energy towards emotional and physical healing while we work together
1
turn off any news feed you have and tune into you
2
reduce screen time
3
establish a morning dial in routine
4
establish an evening dial out and redial in before you sleep routine
5
stop and or reduce all processed sugar intake, all alcohol, cigarettes, soft drinks, fast food, mans food(that which is not naturally occurring)
6
avoid any codependant and stressfull relationships to the best of your ability
7
walk for yourself, not what you do at work, but for yourself for 40 minutes a day, if able, and in nature if possible
8
revisit and reconnect with your smiling inner child and the authentic beautiful you
9
avoid any and all stressful situations and if you cant, work out, speak to me or my father about how to increase your immunity to the stress triggers
further faqs
what education/training do you have?
Masters in Chiropractic, IFEC toulouse
30 years living in a chiropractic family as a passionate and compassionate student of the human condition
are you a doctor?
No, i am not a medical doctor.
in most countries in the world, chiropractors are called doctors and receive a doctor of chiropractic degree however this is not the case in France and in Spain.
this can cause some confusion but to be sure while the studies of a chiropractor and a medical doctor are very similar, we can read xrays, IRMs, make diagnoses etc., we are not medical doctors and have a very different philosophy and approach towards healing.
please take a look at the
les objectifs de la formation en chiropraxie
at my school in Toulouse, to get a full understanding of the 5 year study process to be able to practice chiropractic in france
i believe that there is place for all practitioners in the world of health, and further, that one approach is neither better or worse than the other.
whom a patient decides to consult with is their choice and one that needs to be respected.
how long have you been in practice?
after following my father around and working with him, i am opening my own practice in toulouse and am in my 2nd year
who can consult with you?
anyone and everyone regardless of their age or condition.
i am trained in taking care of pregnant mother, new birn babies, children and adults of all aged
why do people usually consult with you?
a combination of physical pain, for example, back pain, migraines, sciatica, lack of energy, etc., and emotional pain, for example, stress, anger, anxiety, lack of self-love, fear, lack of confidence, etc.
we have found that by removing structural blocages causing symptoms, we see emotional states change as well
we do not actively try change emotional states, it is not the chiropractors direct objective, however we can say that it is one of the positive ‘side effects’ of this work.
people generally have a sense of calm, vs the chronic stress state while under chiropractic care.
how old are the people who come to the office?
I have had the privilege of working with pregnant mothers, newborns, infants, children, adolescents, and adults up to 95 years of age.
if i have physical and emotional concerns can you address them on my first visit?
we can explore both through small modifications of technique in your session.
to be clear, i do not serve as a phycologist, pychiatrist or counseller, however and based on experience, the nature of structure, function, intention and energy, the body under the control of ones innate intelligence, will do what it can do to find emotional and physical balance from our work
just let me know before your first visit if you feel strong emotional ties to your physical sysmptoms
how long will my first visit take?
it can take from 30 to 50 minutes .
what happens on the first visit?
we get to know each other, review your emotional and physical history, lay the foundations for a healing relationship and get to work.
this will be followed by scheduling your 2nd and 3rd visits, which are part of my 3-visit protocol and some homework.
what is the 3 visit protocol?
it is an important protocol that is carried out in the 5-7 days following your first visit.
it allows us to discover the nature of your obstacles, how deep or superficial they are and if you heal slowly, normally or quickly without chasing symptoms or a result.
after the 3 visit protocol we will both have a good idea of how we work together, if it’s a good fit, how you heal and what vslies ahead in terms of resolving the problem.
(99% of our patients feel a 70% drop in their symptoms during this period)
what can i expect to feel after my first visit?
95%
feel an immediate change in their pain patterns for the better.
this is often accompanied by general fatigue and restful recuperative sleep.
these 95% also report a feeling of calm, connection, deeper breathing, more clarity, a better sense of self, posture and more available focused energy.
3%
experience what they believe to be ‘feeling worse’.
pain patterns change, move around, old pain returns, a deep fatigue and a sense of lack of balance
while based on our cultural programming this may seem to be a bigger problem, it is indeed the opposite, it is change on a deep and memorial level, a very positive sign.
these symptoms may last 2-3 days before being resolved before your 2nd adjustment after which experience shows, that you start climbing out of the symptomatic hole
2%
do not feel an immediate shift
i have found that there are 3 reasons for this
1
there is a limitation to ones ability to heal due to a deeper pathology that will need to be explored medically through xrays or IRM’s if there is no change after your 3rd session or if I establish through our work together that there are some red flags
2
that the structural blocage is deep, comfortable and does not feel like leaving
3
there is a strong and deep emotional component related to your structural blocage that requires more work
all we require here is more awareness, time and patience.
ultimately
we are looking for a change, a signal from the body that it has received and integrated the work we did.
whatever direction your body takes as it heals is its choice, it knows what it does, keeps the score and never lies, so it is better to trust it and go with it.
how often do I need to see you?
this is your choice however after the 3 visit protocol, and to get the best results, my recommendations generally follow the below guidelines.
1-3 sessions per week, depending upon your unique needs, over a 6-12 week period and once stabile a
a lifetime to maintain
at a frequency that works for your body.
do i need to bring x-rays?
yes,
if you have any.
however, it is not a priority and we can request them if we consider it necessary.
do i have to get undressed at my visits?
no:)
do i give educational talks about my work and is there a charge for this talk?
yes I do and no there is no charge.
one leaves these talks with a good understanding of what health vs dis-ease is, where it comes from and who is responsible for it.
they are empowering and not to be missed.
can I attend these talks if I am not a patient and can I bring a friend?
absolutely,
we would love to share the world of natural healing with you.
are there any special instructions before coming to the office?
dress comfortably - no tight clothing
relax - don't rush - center yourself, accept that this is your moment.….and
please don't wear perfume :)
if you have any other questions send me a whatsapp
or ask me in person when in the office. i would be happy to answer them
I welcome the opportunity to be your chiropractor, to share this natural world of connection, healing and to be part of your wellness program
