Who are we?

BRIGITTE & DOMINIQUE

Essence of Health is a renowned traditional Chinese medicine center in Phnom Penh, founded by Brigitte Prud’hon and Dominique Pierre-Justin. Renowned for the quality of its care and its educational approach, the practice welcomes an international clientele.

It treats all types of disorders, whether chronic or acute.
Acupuncture, Tuina, and prescriptions are practiced in accordance with ancestral traditions. The treatments are accompanied by clear explanations to help each patient understand and maintain their health. Qi Gong and dietetics can complement this holistic approach to care.

Brigitte and Dominique do not limit themselves to alleviating symptoms. They guide their patients towards a profound transformation in their relationship with health, encouraging them to focus on maintaining well-being rather than fearing illness.

Their commitment is also expressed through the writing of educational articles (see below), already available in French and English, and soon in seven languages by the end of 2025. These publications convey authentic knowledge and aim to awaken the body’s natural intelligence, the key to true fulfillment.
