Welcome to my website; it is my pleasure to introduce you to the different aspects of my professional activities.
First, a bit about myself: My father was an engineer and my mother an artist; my inheritance from them are grounded feet and a visionary head. My task is to fully inhabit the space between the two. On the physical plane, the organization of flesh and bones, physical sensations and what they reveal; and, on the more ethereal one, the mysterious depths of psyche. The work of a lifetime!
And since we can best guide others through territories we have thoroughly explored, the services I offer are all grounded in the body, the doors that greater corporeal awareness opens, the incarnation of Soul.
My skills are interconnected and mutually enhancing. All draw on the resources I have developed over many years of study, training, practice, exploration and work.
I hope you enjoy learning more about each area of my practice. Also, to gain a broader understanding of the vision behind my approach, I invite you to read the articles I have written (dropdown menu on the right).
Enjoy reading!
