“Who knows a good sophrologist for my daughter?

This selection of professionals but also the search by criteria and not by specialization differentiate Atoukids from a simple directory.
"On other platforms, for example, we think we have found a professional and at the end of the appointment request we discover that he does not take patients under the age of 15", says Aurore Robin, multi-graduate in early childhood .
Here, this risk does not exist: the information communicated on each professional ranges from the working method, to the privileged public, including the languages spoken.
