  • Description

    Hi there!
    My name is Maya,

    I was born in 1988, in the small and beautiful island of Tahiti from a spanish father and a chinese mum. I then studied in France (Bordeaux and Toulouse) 9 years to be general practitioner.
    I took one year breack that changed my life, travelling, doing volunteering, discovering myself and the world through a new angle. This trip also nourrished a lot my experience and knowledge about integrative/complementary medecines.

    I love to share, exchange, discover, new spaces and people.
    I also love to dance (single and couple), to cook (mainly french, asiatic, also tahitian, italian, vegetarian, vegan, raw), and in general I am very curious.
    I've also practiced yoga a lot, aikido, taekwondo.

    I therefore would be happy to hear about you that is reading me now =)

    Hello!
    My name is Baptiste, born in 1998.
    I’m an acupuncturist and osteopath who grew up in Africa, France and New Caledonia. My upbringing in such diverse environments has instilled in me a profound appreciation for cultural diversity and a deep passion for my profession. I’m fluent in English and bring a unique blend of adventure, creativity, and technical expertise to every community I visit.

    My journey is fueled by a desire to connect with different cultures and a commitment to personal and professional growth. I am particularly drawn to Asia, whose culture has deeply influenced my life and work. Traveling allows me to explore this passion further while sharing my skills and help people.

    Alongside my expertise in acupuncture and osteopathy, I am also highly skilled in information technology. I have a knack for troubleshooting and can repair almost anything that comes my way. Whether it’s a computer issue or a mechanical problem, I enjoy the challenge of finding solutions and restoring functionality. My diverse skill set makes me a valuable asset in various situations, always ready to lend my technical and healing hands.

    Beyond my professional interests, I enjoy outdoor activities and immersing myself in the local traditions of the places I visit. Volunteering has always been a significant part of my life, whether it’s teaching, providing healthcare, or engaging in community projects.
    I also practice Shorinji Kempo, a traditional martial art, mixing shaolin and japanese techniques, moral values and discipline.
