Hypnotherapy
Reprogram unconscious reactions/patterns to calm the body and mind.
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses altered states of consciousness to access unconscious resources and promote deep, lasting change.
Thanks to neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to create new connections – hypnosis enables us to reprogram certain thoughts, emotional reactions or behaviors that have become limiting, in order to restore harmony between physical, emotional and mental functions.
Our approach
Sessions take place in a secure, respectful and benevolent environment, favoring a state of relaxation and concentration conducive to therapeutic work.
Support is progressive, personalized and collaborative. It aims to mobilize internal resources and support sustainable change, while respecting each individual’s pace.

Dr Vanessa Novel
Hypnotherapist – ASCA member
Lymphatic drainage therapist
Driven by a lifelong passion for human psychology, emotions and energies, Vanessa Novel began her training in holistic well-being at the age of 18 with Reiki, alongside her studies in aesthetics (specializing in wellness, massage and spa). Over the years, she has enriched her expertise with ongoing training in massages, followed by Lympho Energie ® drainage, a practice combining lymphatic drainage with Chinese energy.
From 2012, she broadened her field of expertise by training in Kinesiology, Hypnosis, Access Bars, RITMO (EMDR) and Maïeusthésie (relevance psychotherapy). Keen to adapt to the evolving needs of her patients, she offers a personalized psycho-emotional and energetic support approach, using these different therapeutic tools to best meet their specific needs.
Strongly convinced of the importance of holistic care for each individual, Vanessa Novel joined the MAZ Clinic team in 2024, with whom she shares these values.
Vanessa is currently training in professional and life coaching, with a view to complementing her therapeutic accompaniment by putting resources and potential into action, with the aim of fostering autonomy, confidence and self-fulfilment.
