Hello, I’m Edwige—an Integrative Somatic Practitioner Specializing in nervous system regulation and emotional balance

I am French by birth and American by adoption. After living for 15 years in Georgia and the Washington D.C. area, I moved to Germany in 2012, where I still reside today. Suffice it to say, I have been an expat longer than I lived in France.

In school, I studied accounting and business and worked as a Business Manager until my son was born. It was then that I fell in love with our pregnancy and newborn photographs, and I decided to change my career to become a newborn photographer. This allowed for a more relaxed schedule to care for my son, Liam. My career as a newborn photographer was very successful, and I became the number one photographer to go to in my town. I also participated in photo expos and was active in my son’s school PTA.

But in 2019, I fell ill with breast cancer. It was followed by long COVID, debilitating anxiety, severe chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and—at the same time—I was trying to care for my son, who had contracted Lyme disease, which also became chronic. In addition, my confidence, intuition, and self-esteem were non-existent, all exacerbated by a dysfunctional marriage that systematically eroded my sense of self.

And this is when my journey into integrative healing began. After countless books and research on cancer, chronic fatigue, Lyme, anxiety, the nervous system, and on the body’s ability to heal itself, I discovered biomagnetic pair therapy, somatic work, Bach Flowers, brain retraining and energy work. I noticed a rapid recovery in both Liam and myself, which inspired me to change my career once again. As I got better, I left my marriage and moved to a new home. At that time, my fatigue was much better, but I still suffered from panic attacks and agoraphobia. That’s when I tried a relatively new method called TIPI that works on regulating emotional responses—and it changed my life.

Every step I took from the time I got sick was based on finally following my instincts and stopping living in the fear of “what if” and co-dependency. I decided to trust myself, and that is one of the core reasons I built this business: to tell you that it is possible! Let me share one of my favorite and well-known quotes: “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it,” by Mark Twain. (I also highly recommend the movie *Gattaca* if you haven’t seen it. So inspiring!)

Shortly after my move, I began training in all these modalities to bring my knowledge to you.

The method I created is built on Three Core Pillars that weave together Biomagnetism, Bach Flowers, cognitive restructuring, and Somatic Practices to care for the whole you. This synergy renews your vital energy (Physio-Energetic), calms your emotional storms (Emotional), and restores your nervous system's natural rhythm (Somatic)—guiding you toward sustainable, holistic health.

As a holistic practitioner, I believe in healing that addresses the root, not just the symptom, and in treating the body as a whole to ensure everything is covered.

When looking for a therapist, I always search for someone who has faced the same struggles as me—because, to me, real understanding comes from having walked the path yourself. I believe the best guides are those who have healed their own wounds, which is why I focus on helping women who don’t know where their home is, are expats, have lost their self-esteem, and may be dealing with anxiety, trauma, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or stubborn viral or bacterial infections. I know firsthand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and stuck in cycles of exhaustion and frustration. But I also know what’s possible on the other side.

Being highly sensitive means I don’t just sympathize—I feel what you’re experiencing. You won’t have to justify why certain things feel crushing or why rest isn’t optional. I’ll meet you where you are, non-judgmentally, with strategies that work for sensitive nervous systems because mine operates the same way. This work isn’t just clinical for me—it’s deeply personal.

Today, I’m honored to share the tools I’ve learned through over 4 years of formal study, 7 years of personal practice, and a diverse toolkit of modalities to draw from for your particular needs. My purpose is helping YOU restore balance and vitality.
