My passion for the human body and the relation to its environment has led me to study the history of many healing traditions around the globe. Throughout this ongoing journey, I have noticed that one of the most widely used tools for diagnosis and treatment is touch, or what I like to refer to as ‘hands on medicine’.
My early training focused on the art of traditional European massages and the science of myofascial, craniosacral, visceral and neuromuscular therapies. This helped me to formalize my understanding of human anatomy, physiology and kinesiology, subjects I understood intuitively as a former international competitive fencer. Living for almost 10 years in Asia opened my eyes to a different paradigm of understanding health and the body.
On a personal note, I was born in Brussels, Belgium and have been calling Seattle my home since the Spring of 2000. The beautiful Pacific Northwest offers me plenty of opportunities for indulging in my passions: sailing, bicycles, hiking and mountaineering. I am also an avid yoga practitioner, a budding Tai Chi student and I love good food.
