Integrative Medicine
What is Integrative Medicine
Integrative medicine is a comprehensive, patient-centred approach that investigates the root causes of health imbalances rather than simply addressing and suppressing isolated symptoms. We place you at the heart of your treatment, examining your complete story: genetic predispositions, environmental exposures (environmental pollution, hormonal contaminants, toxic substances...), lifestyle patterns, emotional wellbeing, social circumstances, and the effects of any ongoing conventional treatments.
A Highly Individualised Methodology
This is truly personalised medicine. We assess your unique situation across the three interconnected levels of physiology—physical, emotional, and mental—which cannot be separated. By understanding your complete health picture and environment, we identify the underlying causes of dysfunction and design a tailored treatment plan that may combine several therapeutic approaches: homeopathy, acupuncture, manual therapy, pelvic floor therapy, and dietary guidance.
Working with Your Physiology
Rather than working against your body, we support its natural healing capacity. Our goal is not suppression but genuine cure—addressing the foundations of health to restore balance efficiently and safely. We evaluate all factors: from chemical exposures and environmental conditions to stress levels, nutrition, sleep quality, and the true benefit-risk balance of any current treatments.
Why Choose Integrative Medicine
Because we take the time to truly understand you. Our comprehensive consultations (typically 90 minutes) allow us to investigate your conditions thoroughly, discuss all available options, and establish a clear, coordinated treatment strategy that respects your individuality and works synergistically to enhance your overall health and wellbeing.
Safe for all ages and life stages, integrative medicine at Rowan Health offers evidence-based, holistic care that honours the complexity of human health and empowers you with knowledge, support, and treatments that promote lasting results.
Medical Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy
Why choose Medical Homeopathy?
Because it's reliable and highly efficient, and all remedies we use have been scientifically proven and passed the test of long term clinical use.
We practise classical homeopathy upgraded with the latest medical breakthroughs led by Prof Vithoulkas, Alternative Nobel Prize holder.
Safe for everyone
Homeopathic remedies are safe for pregnant women, babies, children and elderlies, but required to be prescribe appropriately. Self or generic prescription are to be avoided as finding the correct remedy for a specific person required professional skills and knowledge.
The homeopathic consultation
The initial consultation takes around 90 min, as we take time to fully investigate your conditions, symptoms and modalities, your medical history, and predispositions, to find the remedy that will kickstart your journey to recovery.

Chinese acupuncture
Traditional Acupuncture is one of the longest established forms of healthcare in the world. It considers the body as an energetic system of interconnected channels controlling all physiological functions, such as digestive, respiratory, renal, hepatic, urinary, cardiac.
Acupuncture for most conditions
Thanks to the in-depth knowledge of Chinese medicine, the type of acupuncture we practise enables us to deal with most disorders, both physical and psycho-emotional. From allergy, hay fever to chronic fatigue, depression, insomnia, digestive problems, infertility, addictions, rheumatism and many more, specific acupuncture treatments are available to help you with your condition if taken in time.
Acupuncture: tools & techniques
Most European people think of acupuncture as using needles only. In fact, traditional acupuncture offers different techniques that are used according to the treatment's requirements: moxibustion (to stimulate energetic points through heat), cupping (glass cups with a vacuum seal to stimulate blood flow and to clear stagnant energy), Plum Blossom needle (for paediatric treatment).
Acupuncture needles being really thin, it's pain free or only cause a light discomfort.
Acupuncture can be used on its own or alongside conventional medicine, as an invaluable complement to modern healthcare.
Manual therapy
To restore mobility and balance
Manipulative therapies work on joints, organs, muscles, ligaments, fascias and connective tissues. Most importantly, they aim to restore mobility and a global balance, to enhance the body's ability to heal itself and avoid injury.
Caring for our mobility is also caring for our mental health and well-being. Reduced mobility directly affects our mood and mental health. It is particularly visible on elderly people for who mental health and primary body functions decline very quickly with any mobility loss.
Cranio-sacral and other technics
Fully trained in Osteopathy in France, Julien uses a whole range of technics to bring back joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, enhance blood circulation, digestion, transit, refreshing sleep...
He always carries an exhaustive assessment keeping in mind the compensatory patterns. Compensatory patterns allow the body to continue to move after an injury by minimizing the pain, but cause in time further dysfunctions. For example, an ankle sprain changing our posture and the way we walk to avoid pain, can finally cause shoulder pain or a wry neck.
Mother and baby check
Specialized in paediatrics, gynaecology and post-partum care, Julien offers specific treatments before, during and after pregnancy.
The pregnancy and the delivery put the pelvic bones under tremendous pressure and those can remain in various altered positions that can cause discomfort, pain and further dysfunctions. Same goes for the soft tissues being unusually stretched. Appropriate treatments allow women to quickly recover and fully enjoy this precious time.
In the same way, offering the new-born baby an appropriate assessment and follow-up ensure peaceful nights and a harmonious growth.
Sports Injuries
Julien has worked in France with the Olympic Committee and now follows Scottish athletes. He offers high standard assessments, treatments and coaching.
Injuries during sport practice are one of the key factors that limit training and performance. A quick and thorough treatment will put you back on track.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
A key to women's health and wellbeing
Our pelvic floor is a complex system of muscles, ligaments and fascias that support our bladder, rectum, intestine, uterus and vagina like a hammock. They ensure bladder and bowel control and stabilize our spine and pelvis.
Pelvic floor disorders & risk factors
Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, hormonal change and chronic constipation are common causes to pelvic floor disorders. But we should also think of chronic cough, obesity, heavy lifting, impact sports, surgery and hormonal treatments.
They all can heavily impact our women's life with incontinence, prolapses, constipation, lower back pain, pressure and pain in the pelvic region, genitals or rectum, painful menses and sexual intercourse.
Our comprehensive and holistic approach
We offer a full assessment, check and adjust the bony structure of your pelvis, assess the tonicity of your pelvic floor muscles and abdominals, discuss any issues you may face on the physical, emotional or mental levels. An acupuncture or homeopathic treatment is often associated to enhance your pelvic floor muscle training.
Together with you, Stephanie will establish a full and personalised work-out plan to help you strengthen and master your pelvic floor muscles, close your diastasis recti, reinforce your abdominals safely and get better sex too.
Diet & Lifestyle
This is where everything starts
The first step towards a healthier and more joyful life begins with looking at the key aspects of your daily life: how you sleep, eat, drink, exercise, spend your free time and socialise.
A step-by-step process
It's not about going into a strict diet and revolutionise your habits, that doesn't work. But to help you understand how all aspects of your life affect your health and see what you could change for the better, how you could do things differently. We will help you build your own plan, prioritise and monitor your progress.
No expensive or fancyfull diet
If you want long-term results, save your money and don't go into this trap. Learn to identify what your body needs and prepare yourself healthy and enjoyable meals. There are simple dietary basics to know and loads of way to enjoy balanced and tailored meals!
Neuro-coaching
Evidence-Based Strategies for Mental & Emotional Wellbeing
Our neuro-coaching approach integrates cutting-edge neuroscience with practical, accessible techniques that empower you to transform your mental and emotional well-being.
Drawing from peer-reviewed research in neuroplasticity, contemplative neuroscience, and positive psychology, we offer evidence-based strategies addressing stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and life transitions.
Each technique—from simple nervous system resets and body awareness practices to deeper work with values clarification, self-compassion, and meaning-making—is designed to be immediately applicable in your daily life.
These strategies serve as powerful anchors that support and enhance the efficacy of other treatments you may be receiving, whether homeopathy, acupuncture, conventional medicine, or other integrative therapies, by actively engaging you in your recovery process and optimizing your body's natural healing responses.
These neuroscience-guided tools help rewire unhelpful patterns, build resilience, and cultivate lasting inner resources. Whether you're seeking relief from acute distress, support through life changes, or simply wish to enhance your overall well-being, this integrative approach complements your treatment by addressing the profound connection between mind, brain, and body, empowering you to become an active participant in your own healing and growth.
