Dominique Pierre-justin

A rich history

Dominique Pierre-Justin was born in Paris in 1963 and grew up in Switzerland. He had a successful career as a computer scientist, manager and teacher for adults.

At the age of 35, he completely changed his life. He met his first teacher, Isabelle, who revealed to him his potential in healing and his intuitive ability to diagnose and help patients. He then decided to study naturopathy.

Dominique started working as a naturopath in Switzerland (Neuchâtel) and then moved to France in 2001. He opened a new naturopathic practice there. He met Brigitte at that time and together they started a thorough research on the human being in all its dimensions.

They started learning Chinese medicine and martial arts in 2005 with Master Henli Röder.

From a very young age, Dominique has always had a passion for people and life in all its expressions. He has practiced many sports such as windsurfing, scuba diving, flying, climbing and skiing.

Dominique is also very passionate about music. He is now studying guitar and has recently launched a youtube channel to challenge himself with a good presentation. Today, his warm and generous nature finds its best expression in the practice of Chinese medicine and coaching people.

The dynamics of the 5 elements

The balance of the Five Elements is based on the interactions described by the following two cycles: the cycle of generation and the cycle of control.

The generation cycle (or creation cycle) illustrates a relationship of mutual nourishment and support. Each element begets the next: Wood nourishes Fire, Fire creates Earth (ashes), Earth bears Metal (minerals), Metal begets Water (condensation), and Water nourishes Wood. It’s a harmonious cycle that ensures a continuous flow of energy.

The cycle of control (or cycle of domination) describes a relationship of regulation and limitation. Each element controls another: Wood controls Earth (roots holding back the soil), Earth controls Water (dikes), Water controls Fire (extinguishes it), Fire controls Metal (melts it), and Metal controls Wood (the axe cuts the wood). This cycle maintains balance by preventing one element from becoming dominant.

These two cycles help us understand the dynamics of the five elements and their interrelationships within the body and the environment.
