PROFILE - Jacqueline Shum - therapist
Helping people to regain energy and vitality, to strengthen and protect their health, this is the vocation of our partner therapist Jacqueline Shum. Discover her in this new article!
Who is Jacqueline Shum?
Jacqueline started her activity as a therapist two years ago. She offers a range of services based on natural remedies tailored to individual needs and desires. Whatever the service chosen - a quality organic meal delivered to the home to lighten the housework or an energetic or emotional balancing act - it improves the quality of life for everyone. And this is true for physical, energetic and emotional comfort as well as for the pleasure of eating.
Her approach is holistic: she takes into consideration all aspects of the person and proposes solutions that are realistic in relation to her and her family's planning.
Extreme solutions that can create frustration and often prove unsustainable in the long run are not for her! For Jacqueline, it's all about moderation and balance. She also shares tools that allow you to take care of your health independently.
When she prepares savoury dishes or, for example, delicious apple-pear turnovers flavoured with cinnamon, her husband is downright jealous when the smell takes over the house but the turnovers have to go to other little eaters...
Its history
It was during her pregnancy that her passion for nutrition and natural remedies was born. She was no longer only responsible for her own health, but also for that of her daughter.
She started to prepare good natural dishes, real elixirs of well-being offered by nature. It was at home that she noticed the positive effects of natural remedies and healthy food: strengthened immunity, energy and vitality.
She quickly felt the urge to share her passion for natural remedies with as many people as possible to help them get healthier and feel better.
Its values
Communication is essential in her work. Being grounded and present, in a caring way, is a necessary attitude in order to create open communication and build trust. Clients feel supported. Active listening is highly valued and is a team effort: Jacqueline responds to specific needs by listening to a person's discomfort.
Jacqueline makes it a point of honour to pay attention to each person. It's more than a meal, more than a service, it's an experience. Having worked in the hotel world, her sense of service invites her to welcome the person with a personalized touch to improve their comfort and offer them an overall experience.
In order to offer top quality services, it uses Eleos products (super aromatic olive oil, candied oranges to sweeten tagines, legumes, tapenades to accompany empanadas or tortillas). It is the satisfaction of supporting the artisans in Greece, knowing that there is a guarantee of high quality and an inimitable taste.
Its strengths
Her holistic approach allows her to "nourish", help and accompany her clients through a variety of services: nutrition, massage, advice and the use of natural remedies for physical and emotional rebalancing. The dishes she prepares also allow the discovery of healthy, high quality, balanced culinary delights that are good for the body and delight the taste buds.
Jacqueline gives clients the opportunity to choose the service they want, or how many, at a fair price. She consults in English, French and Dutch.
