Laughing yoga

Laughing yoga

Booking

Alternative health therapy

Laughter Yoga was created in 1995 by a doctor, Dr Madan Kataria, and his yoga teacher wife.
It began as a Laughter Encounter Club in Mumbai, India, with 5 people. It then spread like wildfire.
Dr Kataria and his wife made their first tour of the United States at the invitation of psychologist Steve Wilson (USA) in 1999. Today it’s a fast-growing worldwide phenomenon.
It is now practised in companies, retirement homes, schools, colleges, fitness centres, community centres, prisons, hospitals, establishments for people with disabilities, etc.
It is acclaimed as perhaps the best alternative health therapy for whole-body-spirit wellbeing.

Because Laughter Yoga means connecting through unconditional laughter, members of a group quickly connect with each other. Laughter Yoga fosters a strong union between those who laugh together resulting in a bond similar to that of a family, providing an interaction and social network essential to happiness.

The aim of Laughter Yoga is to connect people to each other on a heart level, without judgement, which is the true meaning of Yoga.

Shiatsu by Nathalie

Excessive stress, a product of our constantly changing world, impacts on our health, unbalancing our emotional, psychological and physiological mechanisms. Shiatsu (“pressure with the fingers”) is a set of techniques performed on and around the body, bringing better physical and psychological balance. Immediately effective and long-lasting, shiatsu helps to restore well-being through relaxation.

Shiatsu promotes balance and the harmonious circulation of the body’s energy, and is therefore part of the field of prevention and “well-being”. Shiatsu has many virtues, but the following are the most important:

  • Reduce stress and tension.
  • Stimulate and strengthen the body’s self-defence system.
  • Balancing the entire energy system.
  • Bring physical and psychological relaxation.

A session lasts about an hour. The person remains dressed, lying on a futon on the floor, or on an amma chair. Soft clothing, preferably made from natural fibres, facilitates the work. The session can be carried out in a seated position for people who find lying down uncomfortable or who are unable to lie down.

Please note : Shiatsu is intended for anyone, of any age, who wishes to maintain or develop a level of physical, psychological and emotional well-being, subject to the existence of illnesses or malformations which must remain the strict domain of medicine.

Sonotherapy by Nathalie

Sonotherapy is a set of techniques that come straight from Tibet and Nepal. Based on ancient knowledge, this art form was already used several thousand years ago in traditional Indian medicine. In fact, in Eastern countries, people believe that human beings are born from sound, and are therefore sound.

In sonotherapy, also known as sound massage, we use the voice, therapeutic tuning forks and Tibetan and/or crystal bowls. Sound acts on physical matter, as demonstrated by cymatics, the study of sound waves visible in sand spread out on a metal plate. Water, like sand, reacts to sound. Since the human body is over 70% water, sound frequencies have a profound effect on our bodily structure.

Singing, singing bowls and tuning forks use resonance to restore well-being to our body, mind and emotions. It’s a form of meditation that helps to calm the mind, reduce preoccupation and sharpen intuition. It works on the body and mind and guides us towards mastery of conscious breathing.

Energy massages by Laurence

I have hypersensitivity, magnetism and clairvoyance, and was trained in a first degree of Reiki in 2005, as well as in Celtic, Amerindian and Druidic shamanism techniques for 4 years by 3 successive shamans. I was also trained in geobiology at the age of 20 and in 2022 (divining rods). I have mediumship skills and have developed magnetism through courses that I channel. With 25 years’ experience in Grh and management, I’ve been looking after people with intellectual disabilities and dogs (with a diploma in acaced) for 9 years. I have a diploma in sonotherapy, I’m training in animal mediation (certification) and I’m training in coaching (certification).

Energetic massages are a non-conventional personal wellbeing practice based on shamanic tools combining drumming, singing, maracas, Jew’s harp and whistling, soul consolidation, channelled animal medicines and sound massages (sonotherapy). During a session, we take a holistic approach to your being, helping you to relax and feel better using an energetic method.

The session lasts 45 minutes to an hour. It consists of a preliminary interview, followed by energy channelling, and ends with a review of your feelings and energies.

At your request, these sessions can take place via videoconference. A contract with a charter will be drawn up beforehand.

Totoro, our cat, may be involved in the session. Please let us know beforehand if you have any allergies to cat hair, or if you are afraid of or reticent about our feline.

Under no circumstances will you be asked to stop taking your medication or suspend your medical treatment (PJ CGU, ethical charter) Unconventional care practices. (sante.gouv.fr)

Description

SIRET : 811727932

ACACED of 25/05/23, renewing the
Certificat de capacité n°59-844 dated 17 February 2014.

Our home is approved by the veterinary service of the Minsitère de l’agriculture as an establishment welcoming dogs.

“Namaste” is a homoparental family, Laurence and Nathalie, with 3 children, Lili, Guillaume and Daniel, who would like to pamper your pooch by welcoming him or her into their home at weekends and during school holidays (between 1 day and 1 week), in a warm, family atmosphere.

This house, located in the heart of Dunkerque’s peaceful, eccentric district, has no kennels. This means that your dogs can roam freely in the 350m² fenced garden, as well as in the house, where they can sleep day and night, sheltered from the weather.

Once your dog has been previewed in the house, a care contract will be drawn up. Throughout your absence, photos of your companion will be sent to you by text message or e-mail while he is staying with us.

Finally, if you wish, we can organise long, beautiful walks for your dog in Dunkirk, Malo and the surrounding area!

Frequently asked questions

How does our first meeting go?

This preliminary visit is entirely free and essential. This meeting is always scheduled before the dog is taken into care so that we can see if the feeling is right and so that we can properly appreciate the way the dog works and its character. It’s not like leaving a piece of furniture in storage…

What is your availability?

We are not always available. In order to guarantee our services when you need them, we invite you to consult our booking schedule. We remind you that we are private individuals and that we work during the week.

My stay is extending. Will you continue to look after my pet?

Of course, we’d love to! Simply contact us and we will continue to look after your pet. You will be invoiced at the current rate (without supplement).

Is it possible to have news of my pet?

Yes, of course! It’s normal to worry about your pet. You can reach us by phone, text message or e-mail, but in all cases we’ll send you news of your pet ourselves.

Who is responsible for the animals in your care?

“Namaste” is responsible for the animals it looks after, which is why it has taken out professional liability insurance with MAIF.

Do you look after sick animals?

No and yes. No if the illness is too serious and requires extensive treatment. Yes, in the case of benign illnesses, I can carry out the necessary treatment according to your conditions.

What if my pet is ill while I'm away?

No and yes. No if the illness is too serious and requires extensive treatment. Yes, in the case of benign illnesses, I can carry out the necessary treatment according to your conditions.
