The Three Pillars of Health

We assess health through three complementary dimensions, considered together.

These pillars are never treated in isolation; they are integrated into a single, coordinated care journey designed around you.

triangle

Structural

Care focused on the body’s mechanics: postural alignment, mobility, pain management, and the optimization of performance and recovery.


Goal: restore optimal function and prevent recurrence.

Functional

Internal function: digestion, metabolism, inflammatory status, immunity, and energy.

Goal: understand, correct imbalances, and support key body functions.

Emotional

Mental load, stress, sleep quality, life experiences, and their effects on the body.

Goal: provide practical tools (hypnosis, coaching, etc.) to restore balance and well-being.

Our History

Excellence begins with a vision

Before it was a clinic, MAZ was an idea.
A demanding, almost instinctive idea:
Health deserves a complete, precise, and human-centered understanding.

The Beginning – Seeing the Body Differently

From an early age, Marc-Antoine has been fascinated by movement.
Through sport, he discovered what many overlook: pain is never random, but the expression of a changing balance within the body.

His own injuries led him to an essential realization: the body cannot be treated effectively by viewing it in fragments.
It must be understood as an interconnected and coherent whole.

During a consultation, he discovered chiropractic care.
A comprehensive, intelligent approach that considers the person as a whole.
This experience became a turning point.
It became clear.
The starting point of what would become MAZ Clinic.

The Creation — The Birth of an Exceptional Place

After completing his studies and earning the Swiss Federal postgraduate qualification in chiropractic, Marc-Antoine envisioned what was missing: a place where every area of expertise works together, complements one another, and is coordinated with precision.

In March 2020, MAZ Clinic opened its doors.
A clinic designed as an experience: where everything is coherent, carefully coordinated, and seamless.
Where time is taken to assess, listen, and analyze.
Where quality always comes before quantity.

The MAZ Signature — The Art of Holistic Care

MAZ Clinic brings together chiropractors, sports physicians, osteopaths, physiotherapists, naturopaths, nutritionists, and specialized therapists.
Not side by side, but working together around a shared philosophy: understanding the root cause of a condition to treat it more effectively.

Every patient benefits from a personalized, natural, non-invasive care journey, built with exceptional clinical rigor and genuine human compassion.

MAZ Clinic does not simply treat pain.
It restores balance.
It restores the body’s natural function.

The Essence: Putting People Back at the Center

More than a healthcare clinic, MAZ embodies a vision of care: clear, precise, and contemporary.

A place where care is delivered with excellence, support is provided with respect, and lasting health is pursued without compromise.

MAZ Clinic — The Elegance of Expert Care

Here, healthcare is more than a technical act.
It’s an experience.
An approach.
A philosophy.

Denie Andreeva


Feldenkrais Method Therapist
, ASCA & RME Certified

Fascinated by movement from a very young age, Dénie Andreeva’s professional journey led her to discover the Feldenkrais Method. After earning her degree as a professional pianist and driven by her desire to share her knowledge, she joined the Conservatoire Populaire de Musique, Danse et Théâtre de Genève to teach piano. It was there that she was introduced to the Feldenkrais Method, which was presented during a continuing education course as a means of enhancing artistic performance, preventing injuries, and treating pain. Those few hours of introduction were enough for her to feel the profound benefits of this practice on the body and mind, to grasp its therapeutic potential, and to decide to undertake the training, which she would complete with the therapist curriculum. She regularly deepens her expertise on specific topics such as—among others—sleep and motor development in infants.

Viewing the Feldenkrais Method and its principles—based on movement, biomechanics, neuroplasticity, and psychology—as a true form of health education, she guides patients of all ages through a process of improvement, greater autonomy in health matters, and increased self-awareness. Through group sessions, individual sessions, or themed workshops, each person taps into their own resources, enriches them, and strengthens them.

Inspired by the holistic nature of the Feldenkrais Method, which takes into account the whole person, she feels that she is a perfect fit for the MAZ Clinic’s vision and joined the team in November 2022.

Vanessa Novel


Hypnotherapist – ASCA Member
Lymphatic Drainage Therapist

Driven from the very beginning by a passion for human psychology, emotions, and energy, Vanessa Novel began her training in holistic wellness at the age of 18 with Reiki, while pursuing her studies in cosmetology (with a specialization in wellness, massage, and spa treatments). Over the years, she has expanded her expertise through ongoing training in massage techniques and, later, in Lympho Energie® drainage, a practice that combines lymphatic drainage with Chinese energy principles.

Starting in 2012, she expanded her areas of expertise by training in Kinesiology, Hypnosis, Access Bars, RITMO (EMDR), and Maieusis (relevance-based psychotherapy). Committed to adapting to her patients’ evolving needs, she offers a personalized approach to psycho-emotional and energetic support in her practice, using these various therapeutic tools to best address their specific needs.

Firmly convinced of the importance of holistic care for every individual, Vanessa Novel joined the MAZ Clinic team in 2024, where she shares these values.

Vanessa is currently pursuing training in professional coaching and life coaching, seeking to complement her therapeutic work by helping clients tap into their resources and potential, with the goal of fostering autonomy, confidence, and personal fulfillment.
