About me

Clinician first, educator second

Every course starts from what I see in practice. I own a paediatric practice in Annecy, working in a team of physiotherapists and psychomotor therapists. I care for children with neurological and genetic conditions and for infants with developmental asymmetries. My approach is evidence-based, humanistic and family-centred.
