Our Story

Nathalie Duarte, founder

A state-certified physiotherapist, D.O. osteopath and trained in traditional Chinese medicine, Nathalie DUARTE built her career on one conviction: the body is a perfect mechanism, but its balance rests on the circulation of fluids and the synergy between its different systems. Her path, marked by innovation and excellence, led her from clinical practice to training many professionals, before creating LYTIS Longevity, a pioneering method combining manual therapy, lymphatic drainage and longevity science. From the very beginning, Nathalie explored the mechanisms of the human body from every angle: from neurology to traumatology, including paediatrics and the cardiovascular field. Her practice, opened when she was just 28, soon allowed her to support patients with lymphoedema, in particular women in remission from breast cancer. It was then that she became aware of the transformative power of the lymphatic system, that vital network so often overlooked (even more so 15 years ago), yet key to detoxification, immunity and cell regeneration. Specialising in drainage for the past 10 years, she has guided many health and wellness professionals. Drawing on her own background in physiotherapy, osteopathy and traditional Chinese medicine, Nathalie approaches each training course with a depth and precision that allow her to support every type of professional with a rare multidisciplinary expertise. For years, she trained practitioners, establishing herself as a leading reference in lymphatic drainage in Europe. LYTIS Longevity: the Science of Longevity at the service of manual therapy Her hands-on experience pushed Nathalie further in her research to develop LYTIS Longevity, a pioneering method based on activating all the systems at the heart of inflammatory regulation and metabolic optimisation. To design this approach, she studied with the world's leading longevity experts. LYTIS Longevity is a method that rebalances, regenerates and optimises the body in order to support each person in improving their health capital, through manual therapy.
