A FEW WORDS ABOUT SYLVIE

On arriving in San Francisco in 1999, Sylvie, who came from a museum background, reoriented herself towards massage therapy and herbology. Passionate about the human body and movement, she became interested in different approaches to somatic education, such as the Feldenkrais Method, the Alexander Technique, dance and yoga for her personal well-being.

Then, fascinated by the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine and the benefits of acupuncture for a recalcitrant tendonitis and other discomforts related to her pregnancy, she decided to study acupuncture to make it her profession. She has been offering her services in private practice for twenty years.

Sylvie is a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo and a devoted member of the Académie de Taekwondo Raymond Mourad dojang. She is also frequently spotted riding a bike (and not a car) through the streets of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and practicing yoga to stay in shape.
