With over two decades of experience, Yvan is a skilled and compassionate osteopath and healer who brings exceptional expertise and care to his work. At the retreat, Yvan primarily works with osteopathic tools, including craniosacral, visceral (organ-related), and parietal (joint-related) osteopathy. Over the years, he has refined his ability to apply these techniques on various levels—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. His approach offers a deep, holistic experience, supporting clients on their path to healing and evolution in a way that honours the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
Yvan has been working in the therapeutic field since 2001. He began his studies with Shiatsu before deciding to train as a medical masseur, which provided him with a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and various massage techniques, including reflexology.
In 2003, Yvan discovered osteopathy and pursued his studies at the Swiss College of Osteopathy. Since then, he has collaborated with doctors, dentists, and psychologists in a variety of clinical settings, gaining valuable experience and broadening his expertise across multiple disciplines.
In 2012, Yvan faced a significant health challenge when he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. While conventional medicine managed the initial inflammation, long-term treatments were limited to cortisone and immunosuppressants. This led him to take responsibility for his own health and delve deeper into understanding his illness.
Through favorable circumstances, Yvan met a Colombian shaman who worked with ayahuasca. With the support of these ceremonies and an intensive healing diet, he was able to restore his health. Since then, he has worked with many plant medicines and has participated in, led, and assisted with numerous ceremonies, witnessing remarkable healing in both himself and others. This profound experience ignited Yvan’s passion for sharing the wisdom of these special medicines with those seeking healing and deeper transformation.
Yvan will be at the retreat, providing daily specialist osteopathic healing. He will work closely with each guest, using a range of osteopathic techniques to achieve optimal outcomes, ensuring a deeply personalized and transformative experience.
