Sylvie's interests in psychology, yoga and meditation have enhanced her own self discovery and empathy. She has a special interest in enabling people to move through the process of bereavement. Her research is applied to help people cope with the overwhelming effects of loss, and release emotional and behavioural patterns.

During the bereavement process a variety of complaints arise so a wide range of conditions are treated and Sylvie's unique perpective fosters balance and serenity. Fatigue is another area in which she applies her skills to effectively increase and maintain vitality.

Sylvie spent a summer studying Acupuncture Theory and Clinical Internship at Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. She has completed a post-graduate diploma in Oriental Herbal Medicine, whilst also working with Giovanni Maciocia a renowned author of modern Chinese medical books. She is currently teaching students acupuncture point locations.

"I contacted Sylvie to see if acupuncture could help with my feelings of anxiety and nausea and help rebalance my menstrual cycle after many years on the pill. After 6 treatments I felt a positive change in mind and body and now feel much more aware of my feelings and reactions and able to understand my emotions. Sylvie's caring and professional approach made me feel at ease and comfortable. Her obvious passion for her work gave me confidence in her suggestions and recommendations. I would like to thank Sylvie for all her help and would not hesitate to contact her for future treatments."

"After trying sports massage and osteopathy to cure a shoulder injury, I decided to place my hope in acupuncture. After several treatments including cupping and heat treatment (moxa) as well as acupuncture, appreciable and consistent improvements have been made and that hope has now become faith. Sylvie not only carries a great knowledge of her work but also a great enthusiasm, which makes treatment enjoyable as well as very effective."
