About Mapping Human Complexity
We are Mathieu and Lucie, practitioners trained in chiropractic at the Barcelona College of Chiropractic.
Mapping Human Complexity grew out of a question we have been asking ourselves for several years:
How can the many different ways of understanding the human being fit together?
Over the years, that question has taken us far beyond any single discipline.
Mapping Human Complexity is where we document that exploration.
How It All Started
One model was never enough for us.
Our starting point was chiropractic.
It gave us a first way of looking at the human body. But as we continued studying and encountered increasingly complex situations, we found ourselves facing questions that this perspective alone could not always answer.
So we kept learning.
Applied kinesiology. Nutrition. Acupuncture. The nervous system. Emotional work and psychology. Family systems. Energetic approaches. Models related to self-understanding, meaning, and direction.
Each new system showed us something different.
And gradually, a broader problem became obvious:
We were accumulating maps without having a map of the maps.
The Question Changed
At first, we were asking:
“Which approach is right?”
Over time, other questions became much more interesting to us:
- What is each model actually trying to describe?
- What does it allow us to see that other models may see less clearly?
- Where do different models overlap?
- Where do they contradict one another?
- And how might they contribute to a broader understanding of the human being?
These questions became the foundation of Mapping Human Complexity.
How We Learn
Clinical and experiential learning plays a central role in our work.
We learn directly from practitioners, teachers, and systems that interest us.
We study their models, experiment with what we learn in our practice, observe the patterns that emerge, compare different approaches, and continually refine our understanding.
Scientific research is one of the sources we may explore, but it does not define the limits of what Mapping Human Complexity is willing to investigate.
We are also interested in clinical models, traditional systems, experiential approaches, and metaphysical frameworks.
Exploring a model does not mean presenting it as established fact.
Our goal is to understand what different systems propose, how they are used, what we observe, and where they might fit within a broader atlas of human complexity.
What We Are Building with Mapping Human Complexity
Mapping Human Complexity is not our new method.
We are not trying to replace the systems we study.
We are progressively building an evolving atlas of human complexity to help practitioners navigate between different perspectives more clearly.
That means studying broadly, making connections, and sharing what we learn through articles, videos, maps, in-depth analyses, and educational programs.
Our process is simple:
INVESTIGATE → MAP → SHARE
Who Is This Project For?
Mapping Human Complexity is for practitioners whose curiosity extends beyond the boundaries of a single discipline.
For those who have studied multiple approaches and sometimes find themselves asking:
“How does all of this fit together?”
If that question feels familiar, this project is being built for you.
