The welcome
A herbal tea, and time to talk about how you feel, what you would like to experience and your limits. The welcome is half of the care.
Bio-dynamic Relaxation and massage, in one-to-one sessions in Interlaken
Reconnecting breath and movement
Expressing
what has been impressed
A gentle practice, born from tai chi, qi gong, the martial arts and yoga.
The body keeps the imprint of what we have lived through. Easy movements, synchronised with the breath, work up through the chain of muscles and joints. Nothing is forced: the body finds its rhythm again and lets go of what it was holding.
Nine stages, one thread
Bio-dynamic Relaxation was created by Pierre Pyronnet in the 1990s, from martial arts warm-ups done in slow motion. It also draws on tai chi chuan, qi gong and yoga.
Its thirty-three exercises follow nine stages, always in the same order: we start from posture, release, breathe, then bring everything together. Each stage prepares the next. Hover over a stage to find out more.
Bio-dynamic Relaxation
Standing, then on the table
1 Posture and body awarenessWe start standing: feeling your footing, your axis, the way your body holds itself.
2 Releasing tension through movementSlow, wide movements loosen the major joints, without ever forcing.
3 Re-oxygenating through the breathThe breath lengthens and settles onto the movement. Breathing finds its place again.
4 Realigning the spineThe spine unrolls and stretches gently, vertebra by vertebra.
5 Letting go in three stagesRelease comes in stages, three of them, down to deep relaxation.
6 Finding the body’s rhythmsNoticing your own tempo: of the breath, of the movement, of the pauses.
7 Inner revitalisationMore dynamic movements wake up your energy and warm the body.
8 Reclaiming your body spaceInhabiting your whole body and the space around it, with wider movements.
9 Coordinating body, movement and breathEverything comes together: body, movement and breath move as one.

It is not stretching
It is a neuromuscular re-harmonisation. Easy movements, never forced, that I guide and accompany, to reconnect movement and breath.
The method comes from martial arts warm-ups, done in slow motion. It also draws on tai chi chuan, qi gong and yoga.
- Standing, I accompany youYou find your axis, your breath and the mobility of the major joints.
- On the table, you moveYou do the movements, at your own pace. I support, guide and extend them.
- Standing, to finishThe dynamic and breathing taos gather your energy before you leave.
A session, from welcome to coming back
Each session lasts two to three hours and takes place at my home, in Interlaken, in a space prepared for you: soft light, carefully chosen music, a massage table, a scent of palo santo or sage.
It always follows the same thread: a conversation to set out your needs and your limits, the bodywork standing and then on the table, and a moment afterwards to integrate what you experienced. Nothing is timed: the length adapts to what you need that day.

Relax, standing
Slow movements, synchronised with the breath. I guide and accompany every one.
Re-harmonise, on the table
You do the movements. Music and the Tibetan bowl accompany the release.
Re-energise, standing
The dynamic and breathing taos, then a moment to talk about what you experienced.
Four ways to come
Always one-to-one, and made to measure. I recommend three sessions, one week apart; the first is gentler.
Bio-dynamic Relaxation in three movements: standing, on the table, then the taos. 2 to 3 hours.
Relaxation, then a massage, balanced according to what you need. 2 to 3 hours.
A full massage with hypoallergenic oil, with time to settle in and to come back. 1.5 to 2 hours.
Half a day outdoors, for 1 or 2 people. I carry the table to the chosen spot.
The session belongs to you
Before each session, we take time to talk. Then a few simple rules hold the frame, so that you can let go with confidence.
You choose how far you go
The depth of the session is decided during our conversation. The programme only changes at your request.
You can stop everything
At any moment, at no cost, and without having to explain.
No contact with intimate areas
This rule has no exception.
Touch goes one way only
You do not touch, caress or massage the practitioner.
Emotions are welcome
Tears included. They are part of what can be expressed.
Half a day, for 1 or 2 people
A session in nature
We choose the place and the time together. I carry the table there, and the session unfolds at walking pace.
- A walk synchronised with the breath
- A standing session, a pause, a moment of cardiac coherence
- A full session on the table, facing the peaks
- The taos, then the walk back
Half a day, about 4 hours: CHF 480Full day: contact me.WhatsApp me

The Radio Mont Blanc report
A Radio Mont Blanc journalist came up to the mountain pastures to experience a session in nature. In four minutes, you see how it unfolds: the standing movements facing the peaks, then the work on the table.
I explain where the method comes from (aikido, tai chi, qi gong, the Mézières method, yoga) and what it is looking for: finding your own rhythm and natural harmony again.
Play the video to listen: it is in French, with sound.
