About me

I have always been fascinated by the undeniable link between the body and the mind.

Over the years, I have explored various somatic approaches, including reiki and yoga. After my very first yoga training in India, I continued my learning by attending trainings and workshops in various traditions. Eventually, I created my own style combining elements of different approaches to movement therapy.

During these years, I also discovered Somatic Experiencing®, a powerful bottom-up approach that helps people living with chronic stress or trauma to regain their innate vitality and ability to cope with life’s challenges. That approach was, for me, the missing link. I finally understood why some people feel stuck and never get lasting results, even if they are doing all the right things and have the best intentions. I learned about trauma and how it can affect your life and keep you rewinding over and over old patterns. During the three-year training offered by Somatic Experiencing® International, I got very interested in early trauma and Touch work. After completing the program, I continued studies with Steven Terrell, taking his Transforming the Experience-Based Brain® training, a somatic model for developmental trauma aiming at repairing early ruptures and addressing primal reflexes. I also studied Somatic Skills with Kathy Kain to support trauma recovery, self-regulation skills and resilience in the body.

I currently assist at different Somatic Experiencing® trainings and I am an approved to offer personal sessions at all levels as well as case consultations at the beginner and intermediate levels.
