How it all started
In 1993, mariefrancepierre® found herself having to face an enormous challenge:
she had to find an alternative solution to an (experimental) transplant of animal tissue to her son. To help rebuild his immunity she employed, among other things, aromatherapy as an alternative to antibiotics. This ordeal changed her life, and the happy outcome motivated her to continue her research in different energy and body disciplines, notably Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian, as well as the fundamental role of diet. The keys to this challenging path were courage and will.
The institute mariefrancepierre®
Mariefrancepierre® was the first person in the French-speaking part of Belgium to create a real aromatherapy institute. The results of her discoveries are regularly integrated into the classes she has been organizing since May 1994. Using methods adapted to each one, the students discover the benefits of aromatherapy, massage and yoga, and their positive role on reinforcing the immune system, or simply on relaxation, calming, and recentering.
Her classes are given beyond Europe’s borders, and are dedicated to family as much as professional use.
The shop “Plaisirs d’essences”
In 2000, as a logical extension to sharing her knowledge with the public, Marie-France created her own shop in Liège, specialized in essential oils and products for well-being. Her own line of products for massage and bath, made of 100% natural essential oils is sold there. Everyone who enters the shop receives a warm welcome and personal advice.
The Media
Numerous articles have been published about Marie-France in various newspapers and magazines. These include: “Elle”, “Idées déco”, “Flair”, “Femmes d’aujourd’hui”, “La Meuse”, and “Le Soir”. Radio and TV programmes have also been devoted to her, testifying to her sincerity and proving the growing interest that she arouses. In December 2007, she was given the prize for the Bourse Innovation by the ASE to reward her tremendous work.
