After initial training as a sophrotherapist and relaxologist for children, I spent more than 25 years working in a variety of social and educational activities within associations in different countries: Comoros, Sao Tomé and Principe, Madagascar, Palestine and Israel, Tunisia and Belgium.

These different experiences gave me a keen interest in conflict resolution, and I became a family mediator accredited by the Federal Mediation Commission of the Belgian Ministry of Justice.

I am also a moral and lay counselor with the Fondation d'Assistance Morale auprès des Détenus (FAMD) in Haren prison, near Brussels.

I've trained in non-violent communication, transactional analysis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to be as close as possible to my customers.

At the same time, I worked personally and in training with various therapies, including IFS and then IR® therapy.

I became an IR® therapist by training with François Le Doze and his team at Self Thérapie Formation, who also provide supervision and ongoing training.

I've seen the powerful impact of this model, which I still use today.
