The best way to make our action last is to support professionals in their projects when they match EnoRev’s values. That way, we can change care in France.

We have therefore contributed financially to training various professionals in various methods:

• Medek / CME method
• Hippotherapy
• Neuroscience, hypnosis…
• Etc.

If you also have a training project, contact us and we will look into it!

In south-west France

I qualified as a physiotherapist from the IFMK in Toulouse in 2011.

I always wanted to specialise in paediatrics, but the conventionally taught methods did not convince me.

In August 2013, I met Esther Fink through Enora A. during a Medek session she was running in Toulouse thanks to the association Avance avec Hermance. I immediately embraced her therapeutic approach and way of working.

Two months later I flew to Toronto to train with her, and I went back the following year for level 2.

I now practise Medek exclusively in Saint-Orens-de-Gameville, south of Toulouse, in a paediatric physiotherapy practice with two colleagues who practise, among others, the Bobath and Le Métayer methods.

I would really like more of us to practise this method in France, to develop it and get it accepted, so that all children can benefit from it alongside other rehabilitation techniques. I attach great importance to methods complementing each other; each technique brings something, and you have to try it before judging its effectiveness. In my view, it is combining methods that gives children effective and viable rehabilitation.

With Medek, as with all other methods, children should be treated as early as possible for greater effectiveness.

Here I am in a photo with Enora T., with whom I practise Medek. We have come a long way together and it’s not over!

At the end of my physiotherapy studies in Belgium (qualified in 2004), I discovered hippotherapy, a motor rehabilitation method that uses the horse’s biomechanics to influence the rider’s.

A rider since the age of 12, I have always loved horses, their strength and their sensitivity. As I was drawn to paediatrics and neurology, it was a way to combine my interests and a revelation: “That’s what I want to do!”

With my partners, Diane and Pierre Establet, we created Les Écuries du Tissié in Montlaur, just outside Toulouse. I give hippotherapy sessions at this riding centre, which is open to all for quality riding and teaching.

Meeting Enora A. (my young patient) and Carolyne Mainville (a Canadian occupational therapist and hippotherapist) gave rise to the project of creating a training centre unique in Europe.

The goal? To train as many therapists as possible (physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychomotor therapists) in this method so that as many children as possible can benefit.

EnoRev’ gave me the boost I needed (€3,000) by winning second place in a call for solidarity projects.

Qualified since 2007 (IFMK Vichy), I work in private practice and have always been drawn to paediatric rehabilitation. Through children I was seeing at the practice, I discovered the Medek method (CME), which caught my attention because the children made significant progress after these sessions.

So I tried to find out more and was lucky enough to meet and shadow Océane JAVAUX (Medek practitioner in Toulouse), who helped and advised me along the way. I was part of the first CME Medek training organised in France in June 2023 by the association Agir contre l’IMC.

Thanks to the experience, patience and professionalism of Leonardo, our trainer, I fully embraced the method; it has changed the way I work, and I am delighted to be able to use it with my young patients today. I am now at level 2!

Here is Baptiste in the photo, with whom we share good moments of work and complicity… He has made great progress and his smile keeps me motivated!! I know we will go far together, and with all the other children and parents, whom I thank for their trust!

I also thank the associations that helped me (Un pas pour Mathieu, Enorev, Marche vers tes rêves) for all the commitment and courage they show for the children.

My name is Amandine and I have been an osteopath (D.O.) since 1 July 2022. I work in northern Cantal in a prevention and health centre. I discovered the MEDEK/CME method in my 2nd year of study when I attended an intensive programme with an association in Haute-Loire, and I was immediately fascinated by what could be achieved with these children with motor impairments!

In my osteopathy practice, I already work with adults and children with disabilities, as president of the association Défi’Ostéo, which offers monthly access to osteopathy consultations for adults and children with disabilities.

But I wanted to offer another kind of support: the CME method is exactly what I want to develop with my patients: new motor skills.

My name is Joana Bessa, and I have been a physiotherapist since 2008. I work in Ruynes-en-Margeride, in southern Cantal (15). Since setting up my practice in 2017, I have aimed to develop mother-and-child care, and to do so I began specialising in paediatrics through various training courses. Since moving to Ruynes, I have been lucky enough to treat children who do CME programmes in Toulouse with Océane Javaux. Feedback from these programmes, my patients’ progress and conversations with parents made me want to train in the CME method to round out my knowledge of neuro-paediatrics. After a week of observation with Océane in October 2023, my wish to train was confirmed.

I trained in CME level 1 in Paris in May 2024, organised by the association “Agir Ensemble contre l’IMC” with Leonardo Gorin, and I was lucky to receive financial help from several associations. A big thank you to: “Un avenir pour Stelena”, “À petit pas pour Raphaël”, “Marche vers tes rêves”, “À petit pas pour Lina”, “La ronde d’Adrien”, “Enorev” and “Un pas pour Mathieu”. I can’t wait to do CME level 2 in 2025, but in the meantime I am putting everything I learned in level 1 into practice with the children around me. See you soon!

A physiotherapist since 2002 (trained in Nantes) and an osteopath (D.O.) since 2005 (trained at CETOHM), I specialised in paediatrics in 2007 thanks to a wonderful encounter with Pierrette Cot. I took over her patients at the Clinique Sarrus Teinturiers Rive Gauche in Toulouse and continued training in paediatrics.

With a university diploma (D.U.) in the screening and care of vulnerable babies (2015) and training in Bobath and Le Métayer rehabilitation, I naturally became interested in the CME-MEDEK method. Thanks to Perrine Ernoult, Zélie’s mum, and Anne-Hélène Labissy, Hermance’s mum, I was able to move forward and meet Elsa Thévenon, an occupational therapist. Thanks to the help of several associations (which I can never thank enough), including EnoRev’, I trained in CME-MEDEK level 1 in Toronto with Simona De Marchi in September 2017. Since then I have started treating some of my patients, but I still need to practise and learn, which is why I am already thinking of going back to Toronto for level 2 in 2018… I hope!

Thank you to all the parents, associations and therapists who help our little ones move forward day by day, and well done to all our little champions for their progress!

I qualified from the IFMK in Toulouse in 2009 and focused my practice and training on paediatrics from 2010. In 2013, I obtained a university diploma from Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse 3 in the screening and multidisciplinary care of vulnerable children, organised by the P’tit Mip network.

After some time working in an institution (IEM) and in private practice (as an assistant in a practice specialising in paediatric physiotherapy), I set up a paediatric physiotherapy practice with my partner Estelle Patrier in Saint-Orens-de-Gameville (31), which Océane Javaux (Medek) soon joined.

My professional practice is centred on the needs of children and their families.

Having always had one foot in private practice and one in institutions, I have witnessed real injustice and hardship in families affected by a child’s disability, caused by our medical model and the lack of inclusiveness in our society.

So this year (2017–2018), I am doing a Master’s 2 in education sciences at Université Paul Valéry Montpellier 3, and for my dissertation I created a questionnaire assessing the environmental, reception and rehabilitation quality for young children with disabilities (0–3 years), in the hope of helping, at my level, to shift things and improve the quality of life of these children and their families.

I currently practise in Anglet (64), where I set up my paediatric physiotherapy practice. I also work at the Aintzina institution in Boucau.

In north-west France

I am an occupational therapist, qualified in June 2004. From 2005 to 2009 I worked in the paediatric unit of Garches hospital, and from 2009 to 2015 in an Institut d’Éducation Motrice (IEM) near Rennes with children and teenagers.

I was lucky enough to train in different approaches, in particular sensory integration. This continuing training, together with my keenness to keep up with international scientific research, convinced me that sensorimotor rehabilitation needs daily stimulation linked to brain plasticity.

My years of experience with families also convinced me that we need to go much further than we currently do in guiding parents and training them in their child’s stimulation needs.

Since early 2015, I have taken advantage of CME-Medek rehabilitation sessions in Brittany to talk with Elsa Thévenon and Océane Javaux about their practice, and I thank them for sharing their experience with me.

At the end of August 2015, I decided to seize the opportunity to train in the CME-Medek method when Alexis CUEVAS, an instructor in this method, came to Switzerland. The training was expensive, and I was lucky to receive support from 4 associations: Un pas pour Mathieu, EnoRev’, Association Nouveaux Pas pour LUCIA and La Ronde d’Adrien. Thank you!

My professional project involving the CME-Medek method began in early February 2016, when I joined Elsa Thévenon’s occupational therapy practice in Lyon. And now I have moved to Rennes! Feel free to contact me: avriladeline.ergo@gmail.com.

I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2007 from the IFMK of the AP-HP in Paris and quickly developed a passion for paediatrics.

I worked for a long time in facilities for children with motor disabilities (IEM de Bailly (78), then IEM de Redon (35)). I was also lucky enough to train and work for a while at Trotte-Lapins in Paris (a practice supervised by Michel Le Métayer and Philippe Toullet).

In 2015, I contacted therapists (Adeline Avril, Elsa Thévenon and Océane Javaux) to learn about the principles of the Cuevas Medek Exercises® method. I thank them for agreeing to share their experience with me. The rapid progress I saw in the children I followed convinced me of the benefits of this therapy.

Determined to go further, I trained in CME1 with Alexis Cuevas in Barcelona, then CME2 with Simona De Marchi in Toronto. I thank the many associations that made this project possible: EnoRev’, Mille et Un Sourires, Un Pas pour Mathieu, Nouveaux Pas pour Lucia, Un Pas pour Raphael and Avance avec Hermance, Margot Step By Step, La Ronde d’Adrien, A Petits Pas pour Lina and Pazapa.

In 2017, I decided to open an exclusively paediatric rehabilitation practice near Rennes, to offer, among other things, this therapy to children in Brittany. You can follow me and contact me via my website.

I qualified as a physiotherapist from ISEK in 2009 and started in private practice in the Paris region until 2011, when I began working in paediatrics with training in respiratory physiotherapy. After paediatric training courses in Lyon and Pau, I set up in Saint-Raphaël in 2012. There I met Sarah, who has epileptic hydrocephalus and also practises the CME method. The progress I saw and the variety of exercises convinced me to train.

Thanks to several associations (Les petits pas de Sarah, ENOREV, LÉA, Un pas pour Mathieu and Allegretto), the trip to Chile was possible in September 2018. The training with Ramón Cuevas was truly enriching. In December 2019, I went back to train in CME level II, and I hope to return, as the method has also evolved with its founder!

Other therapists in the PACA region are starting to take an interest, which is encouraging for young patients!

=> Fanny has now moved to Lauzach in Morbihan, south of Vannes.

I am a physiotherapist and have been qualified since 2012 from the University of Liège in Belgium. I discovered the Cuevas Medek Exercises method during my university training.

During 2015 and 2016, I met the mums of Enora A. and Enora T., who introduced me to various professionals and let me attend CME sessions. Through a young patient, I also met Adeline Avril, who helped me with the steps to access the training.

I flew to Toronto to take the CME I training with Simona De Marchi in November 2016 and went back in September 2017 for CME II.

I thank EnoRev’ for contributing to my project! And a big thank you to everyone who contributed to my training.

I am Anne DIEULANGARD, an occupational therapist (HELB-ISCAM Brussels, 2008) in Mortagne-sur-Sèvre (Vendée). I discovered MEDEK therapy with Aurélien MUGUET during an intensive therapy stay in Souvigny from 17 to 28 April, organised by the association Agir Contre l’IMC.

There, I was in charge of the children’s club for the Passerelles network. It was a striking discovery for me. I was moved and impressed by the sensitivity and effectiveness of this approach.

So I seized the opportunity to train in this therapy in June 2023. I am currently changing direction professionally and want to devote my career fully to children and their families, through therapy (occupational therapy and MEDEK) and by creating a respite centre. I am in the process of setting up at the health centre in my town from September 2023.

I have also browsed your Facebook pages and discovered all the wonderful human energy that has grown around your children, Enora, Clet, Enora and Zoé. It’s quite incredible. Well done!

In south-east France

I am the mum of an extraordinary little boy who had a perinatal stroke, and also an occupational therapist specialising in paediatrics and perinatal care.

I run intensive neuromotor rehabilitation programmes for the upper limb in the Marseille area. And thanks to EnoRev’, I am a hippotherapist!

Feel free to contact me; here is my website: https://www.justine-abonnel-ergotherapeute-marseille.com

A physiotherapist since 2010, trained at the IFMK in Rouen, I started my career in hospital intensive care and paediatric units.

In 2012, moving into private practice, I was lucky enough to focus on rehabilitation for very young children and to meet exceptional children (Maël, then Jade) who made significant progress once exposed to the Medek method. After a warm welcome from Adeline Avril, occupational therapist, during an intensive session organised by the EnoRev’ association, I decided to go to Canada in 2017 to train with Simona De Marchi, supported by several associations whom I thank (EnoRev’, Un Pas pour Mathieu, Nouveaux Pas pour Lucia, Un Pas pour Raphael, La Ronde d’Adrien, A Petits Pas pour Lina, Pazapa and Avance avec Hermance).

Refining my practice in line with current scientific advances and my interest in intensive rehabilitation around the world then led me to train in the DMI method. Since then, trips back and forth to Canada have become more frequent, to perfect my practice and always offer more to the families who seek my services. I actively campaign to help people better understand these methods and to encourage more therapists to train, to give even more chances to children who do not yet have access to the method for lack of places.

In northern France

I am an occupational therapist and have been qualified since 2001. I have always worked in paediatrics : care centre, IME, private practice and CAMSP. I also hold university diplomas in clinical neuropsychology and in learning disorders.

While researching rehabilitation techniques, I learned about the Cuevas Medek Exercises® (CME) method through an article written by Elsa Thévenon.

My interest in the method grew as I watched Zoé’s progress, and through conversations with her mum and then with the EnoRev’ association. I contacted Adeline Avril, who answered my many questions, and Félix De Rozario, who welcomed me in Montreuil. I thank them all for sharing their experience and knowledge with me.

The training being expensive, I was lucky to be supported by 5 associations : EnoRev’, Un pas pour Mathieu, Un pas pour Raphael, A petits pas pour Lina and Pazapa. I thank them for their commitment, without which I could not have made this project happen.

I flew to Toronto in September 2017 to train in CME I and CME II with Simona De Marchi.

Since then, I have been practising Medek in a private practice in Lens, Pas-de-Calais, where I hope to support many children. Parents and professionals, feel free to contact me: celinedubois.ergo@gmail.com

• Montessori, neuroscience and learning,
• Behavioural disorders: working on executive functions and socio-emotional skills

These are the titles of the two training courses I was lucky enough to take thanks to funding from the Enorev association.

I am a neuropsychologist working with children with brain injuries. Together with families, we work on developing communication and managing behavioural difficulties.

The training on the Montessori approach first made me rethink my position as someone supporting children. “The child is not a vase to be filled but a source to be allowed to spring forth” — Maria Montessori. Children have this strength within them, which we must support with our specific knowledge of motor, cognitive, emotional, social and psychological development, so that they can develop all their abilities. I also came away from this training with many ideas for hands-on teaching materials that I can adapt to each child’s particular needs. These materials make it possible to step away from academic learning to support cognitive functions.

Following on from cognitive functions, the second training course let me revisit the processes underlying the development of social and emotional skills. These elements have enriched my work, currently focused on structuring the environment and motivational processes. I now work with children on developing their social cognition (encoding and interpreting social cues, clarifying goals, building or accessing responses, etc.) and their executive functions (inhibition, working memory, flexibility, planning, etc.).

I am moving to Nantes in autumn 2019 and may start setting up intensive programmes to develop cognitive and social skills.

Once again, I thank the Enorev association from the bottom of my heart for supporting me through these two training courses, which keep giving meaning to my practice and improving the daily support I give children.

And coming soon… Are you a professional?

Do you have a project to help children (and their families) develop their skills? Do you believe in them?
