You are at the right place if...
... You've suffered from constipation, GERD, bloating, diarrhea or gas since childhood or have developed symptoms in recent years.
... You feel tired upon waking, have sleep disorders, anxiety, brain fog or mood imbalance.
... You've suffered from joint pain, fibromyalgia, body stiffness, headaches or migraines.
... You've suffered from acne, eczema, spider veins, psoriasis or thin and dry hair.
... You have other symptoms such as allergies, post nasal drip and sinus problems, post menstrual symptoms, canker sores, slugglish extra weight, and more.
Symptoms are the body's language. Healing begins when the perspective is shifted from annoyance or helplessness to opportunity and compassion.

Hello!
Welcome! I’m Zoé, originally from Quebec, Canada, and now living in Japan with my husband, my son and 3 cats. Since my early 20s, I’ve been exploring and teaching various healing modalities such as Yoga, Thai traditional massage, Ayurveda, Health Coaching, and Somatic Healing to overcome my own health challenges.
However, it wasn’t until I delved into Functional Medicine that I truly found relief. This approach not only healed my various dysfunctions but also helped me understand how my daily choices and life experiences had brought me to this point. I learned to interpret my body's signals and symptoms as its unique language.
Now, I am dedicated to coaching and empowering others to achieve the same understanding and healing. Together, we will uncover the root causes of your health issues and help you understand why it sometimes feels like your body is working against you. I invite you to embark on this journey with me and reclaim your energy, freedom, and empowerment.
The Five R's of Functional Medicine
Every journey is different, and through these steps we work together to help the body do what it does best – heal and rebalance.
Remove
This step includes addressing the problem through searching for food sensitivities, toxins, bacteria, fungus, high viral load and analyzing belief systems and mindset.
Replenish
Giving the body the building blocks it needs to heal is the second step. Through lab testing and symptom analysis, we find what your body needs for biotransformation and detoxification.
Repair
Even when having sufficient nutrients, sometimes the body needs a bit of extra help to heal the gut lining . Especially in the gut, tight junction and healthy mucosa are important to prevent chronic immune overactivation and downstream disease dynamics.
Reinoculate
It is often said that ''Disease begins in the gut''. Good gut bacteria often get depleted with chronic inflammation, food sensitivities and lifestyle choices and in this step we work to reintroduce it.
Rebalance
This is where we develop sustainable habits through movement, joy, lifestyle choices, relaxation and stress management.
We need to move beyond asking what drug will treat the symptom and instead ask what mechanism create an altered neurochemical and neurobiological function or systemic physiological change
