MEET MAËVA
THE FOUNDER BEHIND MOVES TO BLOOM
AFTER, 10 YEARS OF FOOD DISORDER, FEELING DISEMPOWERED WITH MY BODY, DISMISSED BY CONVENTIONAL HEALTHCARE AND A DEEP FEELING THAT SOMETHING WAS MISSING FROM THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND WELLNESS PICTURE...
I’VE SPENT THE LAST PAST YEARS PUTTING ALL MY EFFORTS INTO BETTER UNDERSTANDING HUMAN EMOTIONS, BEHAVIOURS AND EXPRESSION SO THAT I CAN BEST SUPPORT YOU
I'M DELIGHTED TO FINALLY INTRODUCE MYSELF AND EXTEND A WARM HELLO TO YOU
HI, I AM MAËVA – REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST IN FRANCE AND SWISS. ART/MVT THERAPIST AND WOMEN'S HOLISTIC HORMONE HEALTH PRACTITIONER
Rooted in a profound yearning to rediscover life's intrinsic beauty, my journey led me across the globe. This expedition was born from an earnest yearning to delve deeper into the world and its people. Amid these travels, I contributed to humanitarian causes in places such as Fiji, India, Indonesia, and Cambodia.
Throughout these transformative experiences, a glaring disconnect between humanity and their own bodies, emotions, and feelings became increasingly apparent. This gap, amplified by misinformation, societal pressures, and the ceaseless demands of stress, highlights the very struggle many of us face in embracing and expressing our authentic selves. Recognizing that the lack of expression and communication forms the cornerstone of countless mental and physical health struggles, my sense of purpose became all the more resolute. With an integrative and nurturing therapeutic journey, I venture into the intricate realms of emotions, movement, and needs, nurturing profound insight and growth.

BELIEVING IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE PROWESS OF A MIND-BODY-SOUL APPROACH TO HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, I ASPIRE TO BE BY YOUR SIDE ON THIS MEANINGFUL VOYAGE
WHETHER YOU'RE SEEKING SELF-ACCEPTANCE, HORMONE BALANCE, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS OR MENTAL HEALTH, I'AM DEDICATED TO SHAPING MY SUPPORT TO ALIGN WITH YOUR UNIQUE JOURNEY, NEEDS, AND ASPIRATIONS
I WROTE THIS FOR YOU
Every individual faces unique challenges in life, and that's why I provide personalised therapy tailored to meet your specific needs. The reasons for starting therapy can vary, from a simple need for feeling heard and support to more complex mental health issues like depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and eating disorders. Additionally, relational difficulties, traumas, addictions, and stress can also prompt seeking therapy. My role is to help you better understand these challenges, uncover underlying issues, and collaboratively develop solutions to enhance your quality of life.
In a world where societal standards and medicalisation prevail, managing mental and health issues can feel isolating. That's why I want you to know that I stand here for you, ready to listen, support, and believe in your body's wisdom.
While I may not have all the answers, I trust in your innate understanding of your needs. I firmly believe that at the core of it all (with a bit of guidance), YOU know what's best for you.
My aim is to build a relationship that meets you where you are, empowering you with tools and knowledge, nurturing your inner wisdom, and accompanying you on your journey. Together, we’ll create a safe space to embrace any experience that arises
Life's stages can be challenging. Conversations around mental health, emotions, and expressions encompass a broad spectrum—from disappointment to excitement, loss to joy, anxiety to curiosity. I'm here to help you navigate this transformative path, providing nourishing tools along the way. Because I wholeheartedly believe that to move and progress, we must start by looking within.
To transform pain, we must grasp the entirety.
To stand tall, we must courageously confront and nourish our bodies, fostering a path of growth and acceptance.
Ultimately, to truly bloom, we must dare to plant the seeds of expression and lay down the roots of self-discovery, cultivating a space of inner peace and genuine well-being.
With grace and love,
Maëva
