Since a very young age, I have always been interested in the link between the mind, the body, and the spirit. I always believed in their powerful relationship and the influence they have on each other.
Throughout my studies, I have tried to investigate and create a bridge between ancient practices and contemporary sciences in order to gain a deeper understanding about the individual. I have studied and researched the effects of meditation and yoga on our brain, our genetics, and our mental health. On a personal level, I have also engaged in various spiritual practices in order to gain an understanding of the “Being” at a more experiential level. These experiences showed me something different – a sort of stillness, an inner encounter which triggered a purpose to share this with other people. Therefore, as a therapist, this is what I aim to share: how this stillness, this inner encounter, specific to oneself, can guide us on our personal journey and evolution.
As a clinical psychologist, I work from an integrative approach. I combine tools and practices mutually engaging the mind, the body, and the spirit. To do so, I find inspiration in psychological theories, contemplative practices and psychophysical practices. My aim is to accompany you on all levels (emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual) so that you can transcend, with trust, the obstacles on your way and come back to a more profound authenticity. Together, and co-constructively, we will try to understand what is blocking you in order to learn from it, evolve and emancipate yourself. It is also throughout movements, the body, and sensations that we will sometimes explore beyond words, the meaning of your experiences, in order to find (again) confidence in your personal resources.
I accompany individuals struggling with any type of suffering may it be stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, emotions, identity, life changes, relationships, self-esteem, body image, eating disorders, grief, etc.
I also teach yoga and meditation. I have been trained in India and Australia, as well as in Belgium. The yoga I propose focuses on combining breath and movement, as the grounding rule in Yoga says: “Breath is the most important”. The practice invites people to move in a fluid and gentle way, but is also anchored and tonic. Regarding meditation, I was trained in the Burmese and Tibetan traditions, so what I teach mainly resembles what is more widely known as mindfulness. To conclude, I would like to add a few words on dance. Dance has always been part of my life. I used to dance in a company as a teenager, and now I have decided to include it in my professional practice. So many things can be expressed through creative movements, sometimes more than words can.
