My commitments
My commitment goes far beyond providing ethnotherapy’s services. I also dedicate a portion of my time to carrying out volunteer projects related to my work as an ethnotherapist, as I am convinced that this can have a profound positive impact on our world.

Partnership with NiceForest – Fondation pour le vivant (2020-22)
This foundation’s mission is to regenerate the Earth by planting a maximum number of trees worldwide, in partnership with various indigenous communities, particularly in the Amazon.
During my two years of activity in Switzerland, I supported this foundation by allocating a percentage of my professional income to it. I also gave the opportunity to others to make personal donations to supplement this amount, thereby contributing together to the reforestation and preservation of our environment.

Thanks to this partnership and its founder Barbara Steudler, I had the opportunity to meet the Puyanawas, one of the indigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon, who are collaborating on this amazing project. This journey allowed me to witness their dedication and deep commitment to our Mother Earth.

Nature provides us with everything that humans need. It is our turn to show our gratitude by giving back to her in return!
Eagle Quetzal Condor Summit – 2023
As a volunteer member of the Kina8at-Ensemble team, I had the privilege of contributing to the organization of the Eagle Quetzal Condor Summit in spring 2023.
This event brought together over seventy elders from indigenous peoples of the Americas (North, Central, South), allowing for the celebration of their wisdom and culture while strengthening the connections between indigenous and non-indigenous communities.

This experience provided me with the opportunity to collaborate, innovate, and create for a noble cause: the preservation of indigenous cultures and traditions of the Americas.
My motivation to participate in this project was immense, as the natural therapeutic methods I use in my practice are inspired, in part, by this knowledge. They hold immeasurable value in helping individuals reconnect with their own nature and environment to heal their ailments.
I am deeply grateful to have contributed to the realization of this great project alongside over 180 volunteers.

Helping to promote the wisdom of Grand-father William Commanda, founder of the Circle of All Nations
I had a wonderful opportunity to collaborate in a Facebook Live event on May 21, 2024, with Romola Vasantha Thumbadoo, the coordinator of the Circle of All Nations, with the aim of sharing the cultural legacy of Grandfather William Commanda with future generations.
Grandfather William Commanda, a spiritual and indigenous leader of the Algonquin nation in Canada, was known for his advocacy for the rights of indigenous peoples, environmental protection, and peace promotion. As a guardian of traditional wisdom and defender of indigenous culture, he played an essential role in the preservation and transmission of ancestral knowledge.
Link to be shared soon.
