Establishment of the Mimi Foundation

The well-being center of the Mimi Foundation is housed in the oncology daycare department. This center includes a room for psychologists, a room for beauticians of the project Xiane, a waiting room and a separate room where the Mimi Foundation offers massages. This involves a comprehensive approach involving the patient learning little by little to appreciate his body again.

The relaxation and positive emotions that are evoked by this can be seen as a source of inspiration in order to manage stress more effectively and thus potentially release latent vital energy, fighting spirit and a desire to be better.

Our professional at Saint-Luc VALERIE VAN NITSEN - MASSOTHERAPEUTIST A comedienne by trade, Valerie has played various roles within the entertainment industry, from actress to producer. These different experiences have allowed her to develop her skills of teamwork and communicating with people. Throughout the course of her career, she has been able to hone, in a very natural way, her attention and interest in others and her ability to listen. As a way of further developing her experience, she has undertaken many courses over the years, and she has given massotherapy since 2007, a therapy based on the practice of therapeutic and relaxing massage.
