Testimonials
A deep inner transformation with Internal Family Systems therapy
Internal Family Systems therapy, or IFS, is an evidence-based therapeutic system that helps us heal and change from within.
The journey in IFS consists in reconnecting with an authentic sense of presence. From that place of healing we can change our relationship with and transform aspects of our inner lives: our emotions, attitudes, blockages, patterns, or qualities and strengths. This leads to a softening of our inner life, and a deep healing through the liberation of the wounds we carry.
Through this work we reconnect with ourselves as more open, more integrated, so we can embody our deeper values and qualities. We become more authentically ourselves.
About me
I’m Nicolas Escoffier, an IFS practitioner (level 2) and healer with a passion for combining traditional and current approaches to healing.
I believe that our healing as adults is best supported by offering both safety and freedom to the parts of us that long for transformation and growth.
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 Profound 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.
