Healing is a spiritual journey
For some of us, healing is a sacred journey. It often starts with the profound act of honoring our history, our values, and our spirituality, as we embark on a path of awareness and transformation.
Reconnecting with ourselves
If you wish to:
- Overcome challenges such as old wounds, inner conflicts, grief, relationship issues, and create positive change in your life.
- Integrate your spirituality into your healing journey, with a holistic and empowering approach that honors your spiritual path and personal values.
- Navigate spiritual challenges such as spiritual crisis, or difficulties with your spiritual environments or communities.
- Work through spiritual breakthroughs so they can be integrated into your everyday life in ways that bring meaning to you.
Then this might be for you.
A Spiritual Healing Journey
Our spiritual and psychological dimensions are often viewed as separate in the western traditions.
In the traditional contemplative traditions I was trained in, they are thought to be connected in a complex and rich relationship.
Exploring, deepening and nurturing this relationship is a source of great healing.
It connects us with the deepest sense of ourselves, and can heal, transform, and re-enchant our daily life and the world we live in.
Testimonials
About me
I’m Nicolas Escoffier, a spiritual guide and healer with a passion for combining traditional and modern approaches to spirituality and healing.
I believe that genuine transformation reveals that which is unique about us. This manifests in our personality, our life experiences, our spiritual path, and the unique nature of the relationships we form and the gifts we offer others and ourselves.
The guidance I offer is shaped by my deep background in neuroscience and traditional contemplative practice, and by a sustained engagement with the body and the natural world as sources of wisdom and transformation. It is built on a foundation of patience, openness, and integrity.

A deep inner transformation with Internal Family Systems therapy
Internal Family Systems therapy, or IFS, is a powerful tool to find healing and change from within. An evidence-based therapeutic modality, IFS offers healing, acceptance and self-understanding.
The work in IFS consists in reconnecting with an authentic sense of presence. From that place of healing we can change our relationship with all the aspects of our inner lives: our emotions, attitudes, blockages, patterns, or qualities and strengths.
Through this work we reveal a dimension of ourselves which is more open, more integrated, and which reflects our deeper values and qualities. We become more authentically ourselves.
