Marc-Henri Sandoz Paradella: A Journey of Psycho-Spiritual Transformation
Born in 1963, Marc-Henri Sandoz Paradella worked for 15 years as a pastor after earning a degree in Protestant theology from the University of Geneva. A profound questioning of his faith, accompanied by an awareness of his personal and family suffering, led him to leave this vocation and embark on a path of healing and inner transformation.
With over 20 years of experience in consulting and support, he then trained in various therapeutic approaches: therapeutic meditation, Yoga Nidra, cognitive hypnotherapy, shadow work and intuitive tarot .
The different stages of his journey, and in particular the trials he has gone through, existential crises and serious health problems, have gradually introduced him to a new depth of spirituality and integration , and nourish his work today as a writer and therapist.
Today, he offers psycho-spiritual therapy sessions and leads workshops for those seeking meaning and inner healing .
