I was fortunate to be raised in a family oriented towards natural and alternative medicines since my childhood. I had the privilege of having access from adolescence to the family library rich in a large literature oriented towards naturopathy and natural therapies. My parents regularly took us as a family to see different osteopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists and naturopaths.
​From the age of 12 my choice was made, I was going to become an osteopath.
In 1999, with my british osteopath diploma in my pocket, I opened one of the first osteopathy practices in the Fribourg area.
I thank my parents for their open-mindedness and support in this adventure that led me, via England, to realize this teenage dream!

From then on, I made it a point of honor to train myself incessantly in the very varied fields of manual therapy in order to offer cutting-edge treatments to my patients.

Since 1999, I have been practicing in Neyruz-Switzerland, in my renowned family osteopathy practice, where I combine the different methods mentioned above in my daily practice in order to optimize my results. I take care of you at any age, from birth to the retirement home, during your pregnancy or to follow you in your amateur or professional sporting activity.
Since 2025, an exceptional method, the Ring Dinger® Technique, has completed my toolbox in order to treat difficult chronic cases and patients who don’t respond to conventional manual therapies. The Ring Dinger® is, in my opinion, the best manual technique in the world for the treatment of herniated discs, spinal compressions and chronic back pain.
