Personal training and bodywork treatments (for chronic pain)

I adopt a unique, holistic approach to movement that combines elements of yoga, tai chi and breathwork. Some of the benefits of a regular practice include a healthier, more supple spine, increased range of motion, greater joint stability, improved agility and athletic performance and a deep internal strength.

It addresses the whole human system bringing it into greater balance. Promotes the clearing and awakening of the lymphatic and cardiovascular system. Focusing on the breath it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system resulting in a sense of calm, well-being and mental clarity. The ultimate goal of this practice is to create a better body and emotional awareness making the person feel at home in one's body.

I also offer a bodywork treatment of 2h that has the ability to relieve acute and chronic physical pain while treating somatic manifestations of emotional and mental pain through deep connective tissue massages.

About Me

With a musical background I approached this movement system a few years ago, intrigued by it's precise yet intuitive choreography and the use of strength in suppleness. Experiencing the body as a self regulating system and learning to tap into its primordial wisdom inspired me to dive deeper into it and finally become a trainer. Humbly guiding people in developing a better body awareness and a more intimate relationship with it, I had the privilege to observe the consequent holistic transformation of the person and this is one of the reasons that got me so passionate about this discipline.

Paula
535h Certified Yoga Instructor / Detailed and Personal Approach to Yoga Practice in English
I am here to convert you into Yoga. With detailed yet soft guidance, I will help you connect your mind and body through this transformative practice. My approach to Yoga is focused on body alignment, building strength, overcoming different/new postures yet nurturing gentleness and playfulness on the mat. Every session includes various breathing techniques (Pranayama) and postures (Asana), regardless of your proficiency level. My goal is to help you to develop your practice that you can take home and keep forever. Upon a request, I can guide you through Hatha, Ashtanga or Vinyasa Flow. The differences: - Hatha - expect a slower practice with fewer postures, longer holds and a stronger focus on body alignment - Ashtanga - dynamic and physically demanding style that follows a specific sequence of poses - Vinyasa - a dynamic and flowing style of yoga that synchronises breath with movement My classes are always tailored to meet student's needs and goals. Upon request, we can together implement Yogic Philosophy, Kriya (body purification), Breathwork and Meditation into our practice. Join me on the mat! Let me guide you on a journey towards physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Paula

✅ OVERCOME BLOCKAGES, CHANGE MANAGEMENT, PRAGMATIC/BEHAVIORAL PSYCHOLOGY & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT (BY A PSYCHOPRACTITIONER)
➤Aim of these sessions? Halfway between psychoanalysis on the one hand and American-style coaching on the other, with proposals that will be made to you according to your problem and that will have to be implemented, it will be advisable to proceed as follows: understand the mechanisms of thought & induced emotion, linked to given everyday situations and which involve blockages then act concretely through pragmatic techniques adapted to your problem, and which will be quickly proposed to you to regain power over your life thanks to the methodologies & practices of behavioral coaching. ➤This is why, choosing the appropriate mediator to carry out a quality work and help oneself to advance / overcome certain mechanisms will induce the awareness necessary for this decided change. This will then allow to register in a new dynamic in the personal & professional fields. ➤To lead this change, achieve its aspirations, improve its quality of life and develop the functioning of its cognitive, emotional or behavioral sphere, a cohort of very concrete tools and concepts are at our disposal, and which involve deepening the self-exploration. This involves questioning yourself, analyzing, taking a distance, and understanding the issues / points causing suffering, before finally freeing yourself from it. ➤Examples of topics / issues regularly addressed and which are regularly supported by a dedicated specialist coach, adapted to your plan: • Self-confidence, self-esteem and assertiveness, shyness, decision-making, assertiveness, personal development • Reduce suffering (phobia, stress, anguish, anxiety, negative thoughts, panic, depression) and modify behaviors that are detrimental to well-being (post-traumatic stress, injuries, addictions), to better manage emotions & regain life. appeasement • Concentration, procrastination, organization, professional efficiency, time management •Professional/personal relationships (family, romantic, friendly, emotional, etc.) & social: from communication difficulties generating pain & frustration to the fluidity of relationships • Professional life: tensions, pressures & conflicts, (Re) professional orientation (CV, cover letter, job interview), competitions and exams, support in a business project, teamwork ➤Each point is the subject of techniques adapted to your situation, which you will probably never have put into practice...and which have proven their worth on the people you support. ➤Thus, although involving self-exploration, coaching remains concrete in its application and bears fruit from the first sessions, since it makes people autonomous, and not dependent. ➤You will understand, specializing in life support and personal & professional projects, it is our proven skills and the positive feedback from all the people previously supported that makes us able to support you, by catalyzing the keys to your success, through a methodology and pragmatic tools, adapted to your situation. ➤And if cookie-cutter advice is not offered, that you will never be led but guided without judgment, in a process of permanent / interactive co-construction ... it is because we believe that it It is first important to analyze together, to become aware, to study jointly, to deepen, to decode your blockages and your initial problem in order to clarify your aspirations. ➤Influenced by cognitive & behavioral therapies, by Anglo-Saxon coaching instruments and the European methodology of applied psychotherapy, the approach therefore aims to seek links between current difficulties and past experiences, including repressed and unresolved conflicts and to confront difficulties which may be partially linked to inappropriate thoughts or behaviors learned / adopted often in spite of oneself. ➤ So, how does a session take place? After having identified together a problem, blockages and objectives, it is a question of analyzing them together then proposing a series of suggestions/reflections/pragmatic actions. Concretely, a session = a reflection + solutions. From the second session, 98% of our coaches say they felt a clear difference that influenced their daily lives* (2022 study). ➤ THERAPIST - COACH - PSYCHOPRACTITIONER - PSYCHOANALYST - CONSULTANT Trained at Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our consultant teacher trainer has specialized and worked for more than 16 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject. ✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat. ✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions. ✓ Languages: French/English. ✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 1 to 2 sessions (*2023 study). ✓ As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round. CONTACT / PROGRAM ✓ A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.

Personal Trainer in Chiang Mai: Science-based Exercise and Nutrition
About me: I was the skinny kid who never seemed able to put on muscle. I tried all the tricks you see in the magazines (remember those?) and on the internet and got nowhere. Then one day I started reading the science behind how training and nutrition work. Since then, I've put on 30lbs of muscle, competed in strength sports and jiu-jitsu, and been helping others get the life they want. If you want to become the strongest version of yourself, send me a message.
