Belmain Aline (Les Acacias)

I started my professional life as a nurse in 2006 and qualified as a midwife in 2010. I have worked in various maternity and children's wards. In 2014, I decided to take a more holistic approach to the person and especially to the pregnant woman and her family. It's not about treating a disease, but taking the whole person based on their life history.

Chinese medicine complements Western medicine with its energetic, holistic approach, enabling me to apply both methods of treatment to all age groups.

I graduated from the Huaxia Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in 2017 and trained at the Guilin Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Provence, Guang Xi, PR China.
