Maison Epigenetic, Holistic Health
“It’s never too early or too late to take care of yourself.” This is the caring and considerate approach taken by the Maison Epigenetic 2.0 care centre. A small private hotel located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris devoted to well-being, with a scientific view of care that sets it apart from its peers. Advanced technologies in the service of health. Here, artificial intelligence is used to assess your biological age, so they can offer you treatments that directly impact ageing. Innovative processes carried out by Valérie Leduc and Xavier Rambaud. A complementary partnership in which one is an aesthetic doctor and the other an entrepreneur. Familiar with the demands of beauty medicine and the luxurious service provided in top hotels – and thanks in particular to their experience in Switzerland – the two partners have established Maison Epigenetic. In this warm and welcoming environment, they can “enhance the health” of their clients while giving them “the keys to a personalised lifestyle”. And no expense has been spared! At 4, rue Cimarosa, every effort is made to offer visitors a personalised lifestyle in line with their needs. Nutrition, stress management, sports and social life: the key ingredients for good health are all provided by a tailor-made team. Nutritionists, beauty practitioners, sports coaches, a hypnotherapist and even an acupuncturist, add their expertise to the skills of the IT department and data and bio research specialists. A small army working to give patients a healthy mind in a healthy body. And to perfect the concept, Maison Epigenetic has taken great care over its packaging. Harnessing the art of feng-shui! The two founders designed this calm setting hand in hand with our professional service based on a number of pieces from The Socialite Family collection of furniture, lighting and accessories. Pieces that reflect their desire for a space that is “chic, uncluttered and, above all, not ostentatious” and where one feels at home. To take care of you beautifully!
Maison Epigenetic, 4 rue Cimarosa – 75116 Paris. Opening hours: Monday to Friday from 9: 00 to 19:00 and Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00. To find out more about the treatments and programmes the centre offers, visit www.maisonepigenetic.com or call +33 (0)180 979171

Valérie and Xavier, could you introduce yourselves, please?
Valérie

TSF
What is your background?
Valérie
After many experiences abroad – in Geneva in particular, where I founded medical centre for the legs and figure, “Le centre médical de la jolie jambe et de la silhouette”, within the Spa of the legendary hotel La Réserve – I wrote my first book: “Médecine de la beauté” – Choisissez votre âge” (Beauty medicine – Choose your age) published by Seuil. I recently co-founded Maison Epigenetic to develop my holistic approach to health – beauty – wellness through 4P medicine: precision, prevention, participation and personalisation.
Xavier
After completing my hotel studies in Switzerland and working in some of the world’s most prestigious luxury hotels, I set up my first start-up: a reservation platform that matched the hotel to the customer’s profile. Finally, I discovered that my primary motivation was to help people enhance their health and to give them the keys to a personalised lifestyle. This is why I co-founded Maison Epigenetic.

Why did you choose the name Epigenetic?
Valérie & Xavier
Epigenetics is a science which says that we are responsible for 85% of the expression of our genes as a result of our lifestyle and environment. The exciting thing is that we are in the driver’s seat when it comes to our health, and we can optimise it by relying on the five pillars of epigenetics: Nutrition, Stress Management, Sport, Social Life and Optimism.
TSF
Who is your target audience?
Valérie & Xavier
Our offer is aimed at anyone who wants to stay healthy and optimise their performance. It is never too early or too late to take care of yourself.
TSF
Here you offer a holistic vision of well-being: from nutrition to sport to lifestyle. How did you surround yourself with people to carry out this A360 project around care?
Xavier
We have a formidable team including a nutritionist, beauty practitioners, sports coaches, a hypnotherapist, an acupuncturist and, of course, Valérie. We also have a team of computer scientists and experts in data and bio-research.
TSF
…And to design the setting that welcomes your clients?
Valérie & Xavier
The guiding principle was to create a lifestyle and to make people feel at home. That’s why we were looking for a small private hotel. We did the decoration ourselves! We had help from Melanie, a Feng Shui master, for the choice of colours and the positioning of the furniture.

You have several of our creations in your spaces. How well do they fit with the Epigenetic identity?
Valérie & Xavier
You can find The Socialite Family on every floor! Simply because we wanted to make a space that was chic, uncluttered and, above all, not ostentatious. What’s more, these creations fit perfectly with the requirements of Feng Shui and create a wonderful energy in the Maison.
TSF
What sort of atmosphere did you want to achieve here?
Valérie & Xavier
We want to offer our customers a relaxing atmosphere, a place where they feel good.
TSF
Is there a signature treatment you are particularly proud of?
Valérie & Xavier
We’re very proud of the Epigenetic Assessment because it’s completely unique! We are now making the most accurate biological age measurement in existence. Unlike your chronological age, which you cannot influence, biological age is reversible! It is scientifically proven that you can become younger through your lifestyle! And that’s fantastic!
TSF
How about good habits to adopt every day for good health throughout the year?
Valérie & Xavier
Listen to your body and emotions and choose the right actions for you!
