Presentation

Studying physiotherapy enabled me to deepen my knowledge of the human body and its functions in an analytical way.

It also awakened in me the desire for a holistic view of the human being and enabled me to help people find effective solutions to their physical and emotional suffering.

Thus, my personal research gradually turned toward other therapeutic approaches leading to the harmonization of Body and Mind.

I took various osteopathy courses in Belgium, France, and Great Britain, as well as courses in Manual and Fascial Therapies and advanced training in Nutrition.

Then came Cranio-Sacral Therapy (Upledger method).

The American osteopath Upledger described an emotional release at the moment when a physical tension is freed and the patient becomes aware of it.

To this work I have added my own field observations and the other knowledge acquired in the other disciplines mentioned previously.

Quite naturally comes the need to understand and to train in systemic analysis and approaches: our body reacts and expresses what we experience in our relational and emotional environment.

At the beginning I trained in Systemic and Family Constellations according to B. Hellinger and A. Jodorowsky. A respectful and internalized role play, this approach makes it possible to reconnect with one’s bodily and emotional feelings in order to find one’s rightful place within one’s family environment.

In 2011, an Interuniversity Certificate in Mediation (UCL & Facultés Universitaires Saint-Louis) allowed me to deepen practices in communication, negotiation and support for change in human systems.

An integrative and sustainable approach to health and relational fulfilment for individuals and families.

To help each person find their place within themselves, in their family and in their environment.
