About me
Personal History
I was born in the South of France and raised in the Netherlands. At a young age I discovered my ability to take away pain with my hands, which eventually led to the desire to work in Health Care.
I obtained a certificate in Sports Massage, a Bachelor degree in Physiotherapy, and a Master degree in Manual Therapy. After several years of working in the Netherlands, Nepal, Hong Kong, and Singapore, I decided to continue my educational trajectory in Vancouver. In 2017 I became a certified Acupuncturist, and I am currently working for 3 wonderful clinics in Vancouver BC.
