A short biography:
I graduated from Liège University (Belgium) in 1989 with a B.S. in Physical Therapy, and from Des Moines
University with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2008.
Worked as the resident representative of Handicap International in Laos from 89 to 91, treating special needs
children and amputees, and teaching Physical Therapy.
I then came to the US where I specialized in orthopedics with an emphasis on back and neck problems and sports
injuries.
Because my husband's job requires him to live overseas, I have volunteered and setup private practices in Laos,
Taiwan, China, Burma and Austria.
I am currently working part time with patients of all ages with neurological and orthopedic impairments at Inova
Loudoun hospital, and part time in my home based physical therapy practice in Herndon where I work with adults
and children as well.
I hold a physical therapy license in Virginia, D.C. and Belgium, was trained in Myofascial Release and am certified
as a Feldenkrais practitioner in the US and Austria. I am also a certified Ergonomics Assessments Specialist and a
registered therapeutic riding instructor.
I just completed the Mastery for children advanced training for the Anat Baniel method.
Languages: French and English.
I am a member of the following professional organizations:
-Dulles Chamber of commerce,
-The American Physical therapy Association (APTA)
-The North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA)
-The American Hippotherapy Association (AHA)
-The Feldenkrais Guild of North America (FGNA)

My treatment philosophy:
- You should be in control of every aspect of your treatment, and therefore should be given all the information
you need to make an informed decision. There are no stupid questions, and no maximum number of times
something needs to be clarified. We will discuss any issue until you feel that you have understood it
thoroughly. - Pain should not be part of the treatment.
- If you know what you do, you can do what you want.
- In never giving up: together we will get you better.
- That at the end of each session, you should have learned a little bit more about how to use yourself efficiently
and without pain. - That one should never stop learning.
