A new ob/gyn practice has opened in Nyon catering for the needs of the English-speaking community, in particular adolescents.
Based at the Cabinet Forum Medical Nyon on Chemin Falconnier, the new practice is headed up by Dr. Gabrielle Cissé, a British expat who was born and raised in this region, and who completed her medical training in North America and Ireland.
Dr. Cissé told knowitall.ch, “My parents settled in Geneva in the 1970s where I born. I graduated from the International School of Geneva (LGB) in 1996 and received a Bachelor of Arts in Literature with a minor in Developmental Psychology from Duke University in North Carolina in 2000. I then received a pre-medical studies certificate at Columbia University in New York, followed by my medical degree at UCD Medical School in Dublin in 2007. I returned to Switzerland that year to undergo specialist training and obtained my Swiss specialist qualification in Obstetrics and Gynecology (FMH).”
She continued, “In November 2015, I was given the opportunity to open a Gynecology and Obstetrics consultation in a group practice with Dr. Karen Hofmann, Dr. Tatiana Collipal and Dr. Armine Najand, which I gladly accepted. It has been a thoroughly enjoyable and stimulating experience that I look forward to continuing in the years to come.”
In the busy world that we live in, extra strain can be put on the heart through stress and lifestyle choices. Heart disease is a leading cause of illness and premature death across the Western world, and health professionals are aiming to reduce our risk by educating us about heart health care.
With this in mind, the business networking organization, Executives International, has invited HealthFirst Medical Director, Dr. Michelle Wright, to provide some tips to its members and the general public about how to prevent heart disease. The workshop is designed for people who are health-conscious and keen to learn more about taking care of their heart. During the workshop, Dr. Wright will take event guests through a discussion of heart risk factors and offer advice on potentially life-saving first aid care.
During the session, you can expect to:
- Learn about risk factors for cardiovascular disease (the world's biggest killer)
- Discover practical tips to reduce your personal risk factors
- Understand the typical symptoms of heart attacks and strokes
- Learn what to do if a heart attack or stroke is suspected
- Get an introduction to 'hands-only' Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for adults
10% discount for knowitall.ch readers!
The Swiss chapter of the International Association for Infant Massage is offering knowitall.ch parents a 10% discount on any baby massage course booked before the end of 2016.
Widely believed to support the development of the bond between the caregiver and the baby, baby massage offers a number of benefits for those involved in the massage process. Regional representative from the Romandie region, Wilma Amrein-Good told knowitall.ch,
“Through touch, babies are given an opportunity to develop a sense and awareness of their bodies and limbs. They experience positive touch and become aware of their bodies in a relaxed state. The massage allows an outlet for any stress or over-stimulation that a baby may be going through and can help to stimulate development in many areas for example muscle development, circulation, digestion, immunity, sensory integration, etc. Most importantly infant massage allows for valuable caregiver and baby interaction during which they both learn a lot about each other and become aware of even very subtle signals of communication.”
According to personal fitness coach, Gregory Tochon-Dangy, fitness training should be fun! To prove his case, Greg is offering knowitall.ch readers 10% off their own personal fitness training program, if they sign up with him before the end of June!
So who is Greg and what can he do for you?
Greg first went into a fitness center when he was 15. Like thousands of people, he started going to the gym to look better and more athletic. For years, he used all the machines he could, from those for the chest to those for abs. His routine was a classic one - one day/one muscle.
But after a while, he realized it was boring. Training just to look like an athlete was not motivating him anymore, he needed something more. So he started to train to improve his health and his lifestyle. His workouts no longer only focused on muscles (chest or back...) but on movements too. He realized he didn’t need massive arms or pecs for everyday life but he did need a strong core and efficient movements. So now, he does what his body should do: Pushing, pulling, jumping, lifting, running, carrying...
