Biography
Trained in Vietnamese martial arts by the Song Long Khien Duong school, one of whose mottos is "You can't hope to grow if you're not ready to change", my path is the fruit of a long personal journey that has led me to modify my lifestyle, my vision of the world and my vocation. It was the discovery of qi gong that prompted me to learn the art of acupuncture.
Leaving Paris in my early twenties, I began studying traditional Chinese medicine at the École de La Cour Jaune in Marseille.
In 2006, after obtaining my black belt in Viet Vo Dao, I decided to lead qi gong workshops to the rhythm of the seasons. A few years later, the opportunity to travel to Asia enabled me to return to the source of traditional teachings and start making a living from acupuncture. In 2017, having just obtained my Quebec training equivalence, I decided to train in Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan's Balance System acupuncture, a "meridian" approach to acupuncture (channel theory based acupuncture) that has its origins in classical texts and was sidelined during the Cultural Revolution in China. This method, both traditional and innovative, transformed my vision, understanding and practice of acupuncture.
Since then, I have continued to develop the Balancing Method with great enthusiasm. Pain, headaches, stress-related problems, anxiety, insomnia, seasonal allergies and women's disorders are now at the heart of my clinical practice. It's also always a pleasure to accompany pregnant women.
