Biography

My journey

Osteopathy is a manual medicine addressing functional disorders, considering the body as a whole.

A graduate osteopath (CDS-GDK), I have been practicing for many years at my practice in Morges and at the Centre médical d'Épalinges (Vidymed Group), seeing patients of all ages, from newborns to older adults, including children, adults and athletes.

Over the course of my practice, I developed a particular interest in caring for newborns and infants. I deepened this field through several postgraduate trainings, notably CAS programs, as well as regular continuing education in pediatric osteopathy. I pay particular attention to the needs of newborns, postural asymmetries and positional cranial deformities such as plagiocephaly. I am also a member of the Swiss Federation of Osteopaths' quality circle “Newborns and Children”.

This deeper focus is part of a general osteopathic practice that I continue to carry out with patients of all ages and for a wide range of reasons for consulting.

Attentive to each person's situation and needs, I favor an individualized approach based on listening, clinical assessment and techniques adapted to each patient. When indicated, I work in collaboration with other health professionals to encourage consistent, appropriate care.

I graduated from the Swiss School of Osteopathy in Belmont-sur-Lausanne in 1999 and opened my practice in Morges in October 2000. I obtained the CDS certification in June 2011 and have been authorized to practice in the canton of Vaud since August 2004. A member of the Swiss Federation of Osteopaths (FSO-SVO) since 2005, I chaired the Vaud Society of Osteopathy from 2005 to 2010 and have been president of the FSO since 2012. In 2025, I completed the CAS “Osteopathy and the First 1000 Days” at HES-SO Fribourg.
