What Is a Magnétiseur? What I Do — and What I Don’t
A magnétiseur is a practitioner who works with subtle energy, usually with the hands on or just above the body, to support relaxation, release tension and restore a feeling of balance. It is a complementary wellbeing practice, not medicine: a magnétiseur does not diagnose, prescribe or replace a doctor. In my case, the work follows the Balinese Jnana Kanda lineage — purification, alignment, transmission — and I see myself as a channel rather than a ‘healer’.
‘Magnétiseur’ is a very French word. It can sound mysterious, even a little old-fashioned. Let me explain it simply, the way I explain it to new clients in Antibes.
What I do
- I listen: a short conversation about how you feel, physically and emotionally.
- I purify: in the Jnana Kanda tradition, we first clear what has accumulated — stress, heaviness, other people’s energy.
- I align: we ask permission to be in harmony with the laws of nature.
- I transmit: sacred energy flows through me, usually with hands on or just above the body.
What I don’t do
- I don’t diagnose illnesses or interpret medical tests.
- I don’t tell anyone to stop a treatment or skip a doctor’s visit.
- I don’t promise results. I describe what people commonly feel: calm, warmth, lightness, better sleep, clearer emotions.
Magnétiseur, énergéticien, healer: what’s the difference?
The words overlap. A magnétiseur traditionally works with the hands; an énergéticien works with energy more broadly. I explain the nuances in magnétiseur, énergéticien or guérisseur.
“I am not the source. I am a channel. The energy knows what it is doing.”
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to believe in it for it to work?
No. Many sceptical people feel a lot. All you need is openness and one hour.
Do you touch the body?
Lightly, on the shoulders, head or feet, or not at all — always with your consent. You stay dressed.
Who comes to see a magnétiseur?
People going through stress, emotional overload, a sensitive period, or those who simply want to reconnect with themselves.
