Mélissa Heidmann
Hypnopractitioner

From the very beginning of my professional life, I gravitated toward careers related to personal care. I began working at the age of 16 with the elderly, both at home and in retirement homes. Inspired by the wisdom they shared with me, I trained as a caregiver. My personal experience first led me to a cancer center and work in a palliative care unit. The relational aspect was predominant there, particularly in supporting people at the end of their lives and their families through this profoundly transformative experience. I was committed to facilitating this transition with gentleness and dignity. It was there that I first observed the benefits of Hypnosis in a healthcare context, particularly in the management of pain and anxiety. This now enables me to support people through the mourning process. I then channelled my commitment and energy into supporting people with disabilities. I accompanied them in their personal development and life projects, while working towards a more inclusive world. This experience taught me how to inspire change, bring projects to life and encourage personal development. After another transition, this time to living abroad, I obtained my state diploma as a specialized educator. I initially focused on early childhood education, working in Franco-German kindergartens. During this experience, I became particularly interested in children's emotional development through in-depth work on regulating and integrating emotions, while continuing my inclusion work with children with special needs. This experience allows me to work with children (aged 7 and above) and parents, and more generally on attachment and childhood experiences. I have always been intrigued by Hypnosis and fascinated by the mechanisms of the brain, how life events can impact it, the techniques and methods used to integrate these experiences and free oneself from them, strategies for regulating and managing stress, and more broadly, I have a keen interest in personal development and neuroscience. This is how I came to train in Integrative Hypnosis. This technique allows me to continue accompanying people by combining my various skills: supporting life transitions and grief, soothing suffering, encouraging evolution, supporting personal projects, regulating emotions, integrating life experiences, transcending attachment bonds, reparenting one's inner child... I still work as a specialized educator alongside my work as a hypnopractitioner, helping children with disabilities to regulate their emotions and develop their communication skills. My diverse experiences allow me to offer a holistic and humanistic approach to support you and help you break free from what is blocking or limiting you, so that you can achieve your life goals, be aligned with yourself and your environment, and feel in harmony with your life.
