ABOUT
Nicolas Simonin
Energy practitioner
In the heart of the Perche, close to the Réno-Valdieu forest, Nicolas offers sessions at Le Bourgis, a stone house firmly rooted in the earth, surrounded by nature, in a quiet setting.
On site all year round, for everyone — inside the house or, depending on the weather, in a peaceful corner of the garden.
He can also travel within the Perche, within 30 km of La Chapelle-Montligeon (9 km from Mortagne-au-Perche).
Training:
Nicolas is first and foremost a lighting designer, set designer and video artist for the performing arts.
Since the age of 12 he has been exploring light and designing sets for more than 200 productions, which have taken him all over the world and brought him into contact with different cultures and ways of life.
To light an artist is first of all to make them visible — but also to support an intention, a dramaturgy, an inner presence.
Over time, this approach naturally shifted towards the human being: light can also help a person reveal what they carry that is essential, alive and true.
After years of exploring stage lighting, the move towards vibrational energy work came gently — first to individual sessions, then to teaching.

Reiki levels describe a person's "degree of attunement", developed through initiations, the teachings received and above all through their own energetic and spiritual work. The term Reiki Master describes an inner state; it is not meant to set up a relationship of subordination between the one who teaches and the one who is initiated.
How I discovered Reiki
For years I have worked with light.
The light I create for the stage, where it sculpts space, reveals bodies, suggests the invisible.
In the practice I offer today, light remains at its heart:
no longer projected, but felt. Always accompanied and listened to.
Opening our bed & breakfast at Le Bourgis was a turning point.
We had set up well-being offers for our guests, and that is how I received my first Reiki session.
In 2019 this encounter touched me deeply: a door opened, though I could not yet name it.
From the very first initiation, the gesture came naturally.
Laying on hands, connecting, accompanying… something obvious, perhaps ancient, began to flow again.
I practised straight away, intensely, then broadened my view: magnetism, crystal therapy, geobiology, vibrational traditions…
Not to accumulate, but to refine. To learn to listen, to sort, to recognise what resonates deeply with my own sensitivity.
It is a path I live as an inner discipline, both rigorous and free.
Reiki gave me a framework, a breath.
Over the years I was initiated up to the Fourth Degree alongside Catherine Amberny, with whom I also had the joy of assisting at several initiations.
And recently, Hervé Pondevie's teaching in geobiology reminded me of something obvious:
For me, Reiki was a way in.
A precious opening, which I now offer you in turn, just as it was passed on to me.
But what happens here is not limited to it.
It goes beyond words, frameworks and forms.
What I pass on today belongs to this lineage, while opening up to a wider, freer kind of listening.
A space where energy flows as soon as we make room for it, where everyone can move towards that felt unity — which cannot be taught, only lived.What I offer today is not a method.
It is an art of living light, humble, quiet, sometimes very concrete.
A quality of presence that supports whatever is seeking to align, to settle, to reveal itself.
