Rony Man, Naturopath Allergies, Bioresonance, Heavy Metal toxicity  
Rony’s educational focus was enriched with studies in allergies treatment, Autonomic Response Testing, Holistic Reflexology, Essential Oils and LifeWave technology (non-transdermal patches applied to specific acupuncture points).   It all started by meeting Dr Klinghardt MD, PhD in Geneva about 10 years ago. During 30 years this world-renowned doctor and scientist developed a unique and original approach to holistic healing based on a concept called  “ the 5 levels of healing “.
Dr Klinghardt developed a very special tool called Autonomic Respons Testing (A.R.T) for the identification and treatment of the so called “ 7 most important pathogenic stress factors”. This simple and non invasive tool allows targeted therapeutic interventions on both structural and emotional levels. Rony got inspired to the point where by he decided to become professional in the natural healing field in order to apply and teach Dr Klinghard’s methods. After completing his studies at ECN in Geneva he obtained his diploma in Naturopathy. Since then he got involved in healing chronic issues and specialized with some of the most powerful healing tools available today such as Bioresonance, Color-puncture and heavy metals detoxification.

Ann Starkey : Powerchi Yoga
Certified instructor trained in the UK by the founder of Powerchi. Powerchi Yoga is a combination of Tai chi and yoga  which can open up tremendous opportunities for personal growth and it is this which she passes on to her students.  The idea of inner strength and power which is inherent in all of us and only needs tapping into.  Having spent most of her working life in a UN organization Ann is now following her true calling. Always being fascinated by the idea of energy, energy blocks and alternative therapies she became interested in yoga at the age of 16.   On coming to Geneva she studied the TKV Desikachar method:  the realisation that we are body, mind and more, not just the concept of standing-on-your-head yoga but concerned with the way we live our life in the world and our understanding of ourselves and how to better our relationships. With this concept in mind she also studied deep-tissue massage (how the emotions affect the body) and did an in-depth study of intuition and is now certified as an intuitive reader and an NLP graduate.

Odile Wehrli : Yoga
has been practicing yoga since 1984 in centres and ashrams, in London and in India. She has a Diploma of Sivadanda in Canada, and has been teaching yoga since 1995. Due to her life of traveling, she has had the opportunity to create yoga groups in several countries: Cambodia, Croatia and Jordan. At present, she teaches in France and in Switzerland. Eager to learn more she regularly follows courses and training in different yoga methods and has been introduced to several methods such as that of B.K.Iyengar. As a result of this her education is always becoming richer in precise techniques and in the feeling of yoga practice. Her method at the same time dynamic and meditative, aims at going towards a better knowledge of yourself.
In every lesson, she offers the possibility of harmonizing the body, the mind and breath by creating relaxation through breath dynamics. This results in a better circulation of energy. The notion of respect remains the pillar in the practice; hence, you learn to become your own best friend by realising yourself in the inner consciousness. Her ambition is to pass on the message that she received through her experience and she wishes to share with you these moments of peace.
