What&#8217;s your background? How did you become a naturopath?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I used to work in a field I enjoyed. I&#8217;d done a lot of studying to get there, but once I was in the job market it turned out that my daily life wasn&#8217;t really what I&#8217;d expected. In just a few years, my passion turned into a constraint. An opportunity then presented itself and I asked myself the question &#8220;what would I really like to do?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Ever since I was a little girl, I&#8217;ve loved nature and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/chlorella-animals-effects\/\">animals<\/a>. I love helping others. Naturopathy came naturally to me.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I&#8217;d already been using essential oils for years, and phytotherapy in part as a &#8220;grandmother&#8217;s remedy&#8221;. Nutrition was also very important to me. I love to eat and cook, so it might as well be as healthy as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I&#8217;m also an athlete. Supporting people in all these aspects really seemed to me the best way to help them regain their health.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">As naturopathy is not recognized in France, I did my training in Belgium, which I later supplemented with foot reflexology training and internships in France.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What is your approach to naturopathy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">My approach is as natural as possible. Nature offers us everything we need. Plants, in the majority of cases, help our organism to regain its balance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.echlorial.fr\/fr\/15-boutique-echlorial\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" src=\"\/\/www.echlorial.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Chlorella.jpg\" alt=\"Chlorella en comprimes - Echlorial\u00ae\" class=\"wp-image-1492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Chlorella.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Chlorella-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Chlorella tablets &#8211; Echlorial\u00ae<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>You are a consumer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/14-organic-chlorella\">eChlorial\u00ae organic chlorella<\/a> and you recommend it: what were your reasons for trying chlorella?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I discovered <a title=\"Chlorella : Posologie, Conseils, Contre-Indications\" href=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/usage-recommendations-and-contraindications\/\">chlorella<\/a> during my naturopathic training. Having suffered from osteoarthritis following an accident, I wanted to try it and see for myself.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/chlorella-glass-tubes\/\"> Your method of cultivation in glass tubes<\/a> seemed the healthiest, so I gave it a go. I started with a 3-month course of treatment. On the whole I felt better, but at the end of the cure I wanted to wait a few weeks to see if I was still OK. The pain started to return. Today, I consume chlorella on a daily basis and I rarely have peaks of pain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>In what context do you recommend it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I recommend it mainly for people with chronic pain such as<a href=\"http:\/\/www.echlorial.fr\/blog\/category\/temoignages\/douleurs-et-arthrose\/\">osteoarthritis<\/a>, or for digestive disorders. I&#8217;ve had a few cases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/heavy-metals-and-chlorella\/\">heavy metal<\/a> poisoning symptoms for which I&#8217;ve also recommended chlorella. It has also proved very effective for oral ailments such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/category\/chlorella-testimonials\/herpes-sores\/\">mouth ulcers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/category\/chlorella-testimonials\/candida-albicans\/\">mycosis<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Overall, it&#8217;s a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/chlorella-detox-working\/\">detoxifier<\/a> and regulator. So I recommend it regularly for its versatility and adaptability to all types of terrain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What effects do I generally feel?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">People generally feel more energetic within a few weeks. They have better <a href=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/category\/chlorella-testimonials\/intestines\/\">transit<\/a> and are less stressed. They often tell me they feel younger.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Do you have any other natural foods with &#8220;health&#8221; properties of choice?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I often recommend &#8220;superfoods&#8221; for a quick pick-me-up. All those little seeds and berries we don&#8217;t usually eat are real &#8220;bombs&#8221; of vitamins and other nutrients!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Just to name a few: goji berries, chia seeds, sprouted seeds, turmeric&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-1493 size-full\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"345\" height=\"255\" src=\"\/\/www.echlorial.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Luminotherapie.jpg\" alt=\"Luminotherapie\" class=\"wp-image-1493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Luminotherapie.jpg 345w, https:\/\/www.echlorial.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Luminotherapie-300x222.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><figcaption>Light therapy &#8211; Credit: Nature &amp; Sens<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Do you have complementary expertise in alternative medicine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I&#8217;m a foot reflexology practitioner and I&#8217;m also very interested in lithotherapy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>In your opinion, what are the basic rules for a healthy lifestyle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">For me, nutrition is essential. We eat 3-5 times a day, so it&#8217;s essential that our food is of good quality and adapted to our physiological needs.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">A healthy lifestyle and a bit of physical activity, not to mention running a marathon, but a 30-minute walk every day in the fresh air is the minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In today&#8217;s stressful, polluted world, it&#8217;s important to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally. I recommend eating better, taking a little time for yourself, relaxing and enjoying life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What&#8217;s your favorite quote?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;Prevention is better than cure.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell us about yourself!
