About
Dr Cédric Guéguen
- General practitioner (non-contracted) in Papeete

- Trainer and speaker
Based in Papeete, I take the time to listen and to consider each person as a whole — their lifestyle, diet, sleep, balance. Functionally-oriented medicine, nutrition and hypnosis are tools I combine within a single approach.
My intention: to place the person and their resources at the heart of care, respecting their journey and their pace, and complementing attentive and rigorous medical follow-up. This integrative approach also remains open to the knowledge of traditional Polynesian medicine, rooted in the fenua.
Trained at Rennes University Hospital, I have practised in many departments of the French Polynesia Hospital Centre — internal medicine, oncology, nephrology, emergency medicine — and in private general practice, both in mainland France and in Tahiti.
Holder of university diplomas in physio-nutrition and phytotherapy-aromatherapy, I train continuously in these fields. Within an integrative approach, I remain attentive to the knowledge of traditional Polynesian medicine, in dialogue and respect.
A hypnosis practitioner since 2013, I regularly train care staff in hypno-analgesia within care facilities in Polynesia.
I support athletes through hypnosis and mental preparation — stress management, concentration, recovery — particularly in triathlon, surfing and freediving.
Transmission plays an important part in my work: public talks, interventions and training for health professionals around hypnosis and integrative medicine, notably for the Emergences institute.
