OSTEOPAAT
Ever since I was a child I was passionate about human anatomy, (patho)physiology, neurology and the biomechanics of the sporting body. In 2006 I graduated as a Master’s degree in Sports and Movement Sciences from Ghent University, and five years later I graduated from the International Academy of Osteopathy and the University of Applied Sciences in Innsbruck with my Master of Science in Osteopathy. The combination of both diplomas gives me a unique perspective on the origin and avoidance of complaints and/or injuries.
DOCENT
Besides my working in practice, I am also a teacher at the International Academy of Osteopathy. I am also the coordinator for the two-year training programme in the Sport Osteopathy for graduate osteopaths. In this way I am constantly stimulated to keep up to date with the latest scientific developments and at the same time I can also pass on this acquired knowledge to colleagues and/or patients.


ONDERNEMER
Shortly after graduation I started my own practice in collaboration with various (sports) physiotherapists. In 2013 I joined the practice of osteopath Rik Hoste in Sint-Andries, and took over this practice in 2014. The collaboration with Rik continues through a close cooperation with the sports medical testing center Running and More. Since 2016 I opened a second practice for osteopathy in Assebroek.
