This morning, a client wrote to me. She received an energy treatment two days ago. Since then, several people have asked her what she had done. She is glowing, they tell her. She did not really know what to answer. I do.

It is often what shows first after an energy treatment. The eyes. Something opens up in the face. As if a weight had been put down somewhere, far away.

What is an energy treatment, in practice?

An energy treatment is support through touch and energy, without deep physical manipulation as in a massage. You lie down, clothed, in a calm space. I place my hands on certain areas of the body, sometimes I stay at a distance. I feel the areas where something is blocked, tense, waiting. The work consists of getting what no longer flows to flow again.

It is not a massage. It is quieter, more inward. Many people fall asleep during the session, or enter a state close to deep meditation.

What it really changes in the body and in the eyes

The effects of an energy treatment are not the same for everyone. But there are constants that I see come back session after session.

The body relaxes deeply, often more than the person expected. The breath lengthens. The sleep that follows is different, more restorative. And there is that famous look in the eyes. They seem clearer, calmer. It is often those around the person who notice it first, even before the person themselves.

Many describe the feeling of having left a weight behind them. Not necessarily a weight they could name before the session. Just something that is no longer there, and whose absence can be felt physically.

How a session unfolds with me

The session always begins with a conversation. I ask you where you are at, what brings you, what you are going through right now. No need to tell everything, just to set the scene.

Then you lie down on the table, clothed. I work in silence most of the time, with soft background music. The session lasts between 45 minutes and an hour. At the end, we take a moment to talk about it. That is often when the words come, once the body has calmed down.

Who is it suitable for?

The energy treatment is for anyone who feels they are carrying something too heavy. Fatigue that does not go away with rest. A period of transition, grief or separation. A feeling of being stuck with no identified medical cause. Or simply the wish to reconnect with yourself, without knowing exactly why.

I do not replace medical or psychological care. The energy treatment is complementary, on the level of energy and feeling. Some people remain sceptical about this approach, and that is entirely their right. I speak rather to those who want to try, with curiosity, without needing to understand everything before having the experience.

How to prepare for your first session

No particular preparation. Come as you are, rested if possible, without too heavy a meal just before. The most important thing is to give yourself this time without any precise expectation. Some feel strong things from the very first session, others need several appointments to feel a real change. Both are normal.

If you feel something drawing you towards this approach, I invite you to discover the energy treatments I offer at the Centre Ananda in Cannes. We can talk about it in person if you wish.
