My Background

From Father to Daughter: The Genesis of IRATEV and My Vocation

My name is Alicia Bonnaud, a Traditional Bone-Setter, Energy Practitioner and Magnetizer working with both humans and animals. My journey is deeply connected to that of my father, Dr. Christian Bonnaud, whose work and teachings have shaped my vocation. 

Born in 1993, I was immersed in my father's world from a very young age. I attended his workshops, took part in his trainings and even accompanied him during his consultations.
A part of my education took place at home, which allowed me to take part directly in his activities.
In this way, I gained invaluable hands-on experience, well before my adult life.

My father has always been a great source of inspiration and wisdom for me. He taught me that well-being is a complex concept that goes far beyond the physical dimension alone. Thanks to his guidance and example, I learned that support is an act of love and dedication, aimed at helping others find their physical and emotional balance.

My path is unique. I rely on the solid foundations he built, while bringing my own personal touch, ideas and vision to create a fulfilling future for IRATEV. 

Based in Réotier (05600), I am committed to continuing and enriching this approach, reaching far beyond the Guillestre area to provide support wherever it is needed.

My Multiple Facets:
A Holistic Approach Rooted in Experience

From childhood to the present day, the journey has been rich in complementary experiences that enhance current practice:

• A solid knowledge of the body:
   My father was a veterinarian and a man of science.
  He passed on to me an in-depth understanding of the anatomy and functioning of the human and animal body, which I always practiced at his side. This solid expertise is a valuable asset in my Reboutage practice, as it allows me to better understand and act on physical structures.

• Connection to living beings:
   My bond with nature and the animal world has always been self-evident.
  I grew up surrounded by animals, from dogs to horses and even reptiles. This closeness taught me to observe the dynamics of life and to understand its energetic manifestations. Today, I put this knowledge at the service of their well-being.

• Body and mind:
  My journey in high-level sports has been an intense school of life. I have been confronted with the realities of performance, but also with the physical injuries and psychological challenges that come with it. This is how I gained an intimate understanding of the deep connections that unite body and mind.
  Still actively involved in sports, this experience gives me a unique perspective on resilience, pain management, and the impact of the mind on recovery.
  This knowledge, lived from the inside, is now a valuable asset that enriches my support work. It allows me to grasp the stakes of physical and psychological well-being with a singular authenticity and empathy.
  

• Motherhood and perinatal care:
   Motherhood has been a profound learning experience. By choosing a home birth, I experienced from within the physical and energetic upheavals of the perinatal period. This experience strengthened my empathy and my ability to support future and new mothers.
  

• Flora and ecosystems:
   I am passionate about wild flora. My knowledge of edible and medicinal plants is nourished by constant field study. I offer workshops to help discover the benefits of nature in everyday life, as well as forest therapy sessions to support deep reconnection with the energy of trees and plants.

• Creation and harmonization:
   I have developed a love for manual work: painting, interior design... For me, creating means materializing an intention. It allows me to shape spaces where harmony and energy are tangible, fostering an environment that contributes to well-being.

All these facets come together to offer a complete holistic approach. This lived richness nourishes the depth of my support work and my understanding of individual needs. There is a deep belief that a soothing environment is an essential foundation for personal fulfillment.

My Journey:
A Holistic Approach Rooted in Experience and Transmission

Every facet of this journey—whether linked to the legacy of a father, nature, animals, sport, creativity, or motherhood—comes together to offer a comprehensive holistic approach deeply rooted in lived experience. This wealth of experience nourishes the depth of the guidance provided and the understanding of each person’s needs.

This experience, along with a passion for sharing knowledge, is a driving force. The intention is to pass on this knowledge through training courses and workshops offered with IRATEV, mainly in the Guillestre area and its surroundings, in order to continue this cycle of learning.

These creations are also the result of this journey. Each one is infused with a positive intention and designed to bring harmony to everyday life, while adding a touch of nature to interior spaces.

Because a deep belief is that a soothing environment is an essential foundation for personal fulfillment.
