Barbara G.

After more than two decades devoted to sharing a passion for life sciences as a biology teacher (holder of a Master’s degree and the CAPES teaching qualification), Barbara made an authentic career change toward naturopathy. This transition arose from a deep desire to support individuals in a more concrete way on their path to balance, drawing on the ancestral and beneficial use of nature that has always inspired her. Her unique background combines the scientific rigor gained over 22 years of teaching with holistic, time-honored practices. Trained in naturopathy through a comprehensive blended learning program, Barbara enhances her guidance with powerful manual techniques: Chi Nei Tsang visceral massage, foot reflexology, and cupping therapy (trained in particular by Valérie Mège, hygienist naturopath). Attentive to the major stages of women’s lives, Barbara has specialized in women’s health support, particularly around perimenopause and menopause (training with Stéphanie Mezarai). She blends personal experience with in-depth knowledge to provide informed, respectful support through physiological changes. Curious about the latest developments yet deeply committed to natural resources, she incorporates gemmotherapy, essential oils, and advanced supplementation into her programs, precisely tailored to the body’s needs. Her goal is to help you rediscover vitality and balance by reconnecting with your body and the power of nature.
