Aurélie further developed her practice with training in the Total Reset Method (or NAET Method) to reach a more subtle cellular level (close to homeopathic, naturopathic and kinesiologic levels) for solving allergies, intolerances, hypersensitivities, hormonal, immune, blood or emotional disorders.
This practice can be used to complement Osteopathic treatments, when appropropriate.
