To Restore Balance to the Body

“My vision for working with Endobiogeny is to create a truly holistic approach—one that embraces the full unity of mind, body, and spirit. It’s about guiding people back to their true essence: the joy and pleasure of simply being alive. For me, to celebrate life is to honor our bodies, our emotions, and all the experiences that make existence rich, vibrant, and deeply meaningful.”

— MARINE SÉLÉNÉE

Endobiogeny is an integrative, holistic approach — looking not only at the patient but also at their environment, lifestyle, and emotions — in order to determine the right treatment.

Christian Duraffourd (1943-2017) brought medicinal plants back into the spotlight through endobiogeny. In endobiogeny, we use clinical phytotherapy, which means that the patient comes before the disease.

What is Endobiogeny?

ORIGIN STORY 

Endobiogeny was developed in the late 20th century, primarily in France, by Dr. Christian Duraffourd and Dr. Jean-Claude Lapraz. The approach began taking shape in the 1970s and 1980s, as they sought a more integrative and dynamic way to understand human physiology—particularly the role of the endocrine (hormonal) system in regulating overall health.

Their work combined insights from Western medicine, phytotherapy (plant medicine), and systems biology, laying the foundation for what became known as Endobiogeny—the “science of internal life.”

HOLISTIC MEDICAL APPROACH

Endobiogeny is a holistic medical approach that views the body as an intelligent, self-regulating system where every function is interconnected. By studying the neuroendocrine system—particularly how hormones, the nervous system, and internal stressors interact—it helps us understand not just symptoms, but the deeper imbalances that cause them.

Rather than isolating physical issues from emotional or psychological ones, Endobiogeny looks at the body as a whole, dynamic system. It explores how chronic stress, suppressed emotions, and environmental influences affect our physiology and vitality. This insight allows us to identify the true root causes—whether they live in the tissues, the nervous system, or unprocessed emotional experiences.

RESTORING BALANCE

Endobiogeny doesn’t aim to simply "fix" a problem—it supports the body in restoring balance and healing from within. It’s a process where the body, heart, and soul can come back into alignment, leading to more lasting wellness, clarity, and peace. DISCOVER MORE

Why is this method seen as innovative?

 

Endobiogeny is considered innovative because it offers a radically different, systems-based approach to understanding health and disease—one that goes beyond conventional symptom-focused medicine.

Here’s why it stands out:

  • Instead of focusing on isolated diseases, Endobiogeny studies how the body regulates itself—especially through the endocrine and nervous systems—and how dysfunction in that regulation leads to illness.

  • Using a unique biological terrain analysis (via bloodwork), it creates a personalized map of how each person’s body responds to stress, hormones, and internal imbalance.

  • It bridges physical medicine with emotional and energetic awareness, recognizing that emotions and stress patterns deeply impact physical health.

  • Endobiogeny detects imbalances before symptoms appear, making it a powerful tool for prevention and long-term well-being.

  • It doesn’t treat symptoms in isolation but traces them back to deeper functional imbalances, often revealing connections traditional medicine may overlook.

In short, Endobiogeny is innovative because it treats the human being as a living, intelligent ecosystem—where healing is not just about fixing parts, but restoring balance to the whole.

How does Marine work with Endobiogeny
—and why did she choose to study it?

 

THE WHY

Marine was drawn to Endobiogeny because of its deeply holistic and personalized approach to healing—viewing the body as an intelligent system and focusing on addressing root causes rather than just symptoms. After studying at the French School of Endobiogeny, she further expanded her expertise through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, specializing in Hormone and Gut Health, committed to refining her ability to support clients at the highest level.

HER APPROACH

Her approach continues to evolve, but Marine primarily offers Endobiogeny by emphasizing foundational lifestyle elements: nutrition, daily rhythms, herbal infusions, and plant-based therapies. For her, healing begins with simplicity—not through restriction, but through conscious, nourishing choices. It’s not about giving up chocolate or chasing perfection, but about tuning into what truly feeds your body, acknowledging your pain, and restoring your relationship with yourself.

RESTORE BALANCE

She believes suffering is part of life, but pain can be transformed. Guided by Endobiogeny, she helps clients embark on this journey gently yet powerfully, working to restore balance across body, mind, and emotions. Soon, she will partner with an MD to offer more advanced analyses and protocols—always grounded in the body’s intelligence and nature’s wisdom.

THE FUTURE

Creative and visionary, Marine dreams of developing her own line of healing teas and natural beauty products—continuing to nurture others in meaningful ways. For her, Endobiogeny is not just a method; it’s a philosophy of life, healing, and self-love—one step at a time.
