Marie-Daphné Roy
Somatic therapist, yoga therapist and sexologist
Marie-Daphné Roy is a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT), a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP) and co-founder of Bhavana la clinique. For more than twenty-five years, she has worked in the field of mind-body approaches: yoga, meditation, movement, massage therapy and somatic therapy.
Her path was first rooted in traditional yoga and meditation, then in extensive training in therapeutic yoga, restorative yoga, yin, anatomy and nervous system regulation.
She practised massage therapy (Thai yoga massage, kinetic Swedish, myofascial) for more than 15 years and trained in various somatic approaches to trauma, including Somatic Experiencing® and Transforming Touch®.
At the clinic, she offers an attentive, relational approach that is deeply grounded in the body.
She is particularly interested in the effects of stress, trauma, fatigue, chronic pain and sleep disorders, as well as pelvic and digestive health issues, which are often linked to nervous system regulation.
She integrates adapted and restorative postures, gentle movement, breathing, mindfulness and somatic anchors to support self-regulation and coming back to yourself.
Her intention is to create an inclusive, safe and non-performance-based space, where each person can be welcomed with their history, get to know their sensations and develop more stable inner resources to live their life with a little more freedom, clarity and gentleness.
