About me
My background
Passionate about animals and manual therapies for as long as I can remember, I naturally turned towards studies in animal osteopathy.
After five years of training and my registration on the National Register of Competence held by the CNOV, I settled in the Toulouse region, where I am originally from, in order to practise there from 2020 onwards.
Sport, and athletics in particular, has held an important place in my journey. It instilled in me values of rigour, perseverance and discipline that continue to guide my professional practice today.
Committed to supporting the development and recognition of animal osteopathy in France, I was involved for several years within associations working towards the structuring of the profession.

From 2017 to 2020, I served as President of the Union Française des Étudiants Ostéopathes Animaliers (UFEOA), before co-founding the Collectif des Ostéopathes Animaliers, within which I remained actively involved from 2020 to 2025. This has since become the national union representing professionals registered on the RNA held by the CNOV.
Driven by a desire to create connections between the various stakeholders in animal health, I initiated the organisation of the SymbiOsteo conferences in 2019 and 2022, and later co-created the SymbiOsteo podcast in 2024. These projects aim to foster exchanges between veterinarians practising osteopathy, animal osteopaths and human osteopaths, whilst highlighting developments in practice, current affairs and research prospects in this field.
In 2025, I wished to deepen my knowledge and develop an approach more oriented towards scientific research. I therefore enrolled in the Master 2 'Gestion des Établissements de Formation et de Recherche en Santé' at the Université de Haute-Alsace in Mulhouse. This training led to my first scientific publication in the integrative health journal Hegel: 'Ostéopathie, chiropraxie, thérapies manuelles: analyse bibliométrique (1949–2025)'.

Animal osteopathy session
A consultation in six steps
Case history — gathering information on your animal's health and creating your file
Discover DjookaEach consultation begins with a discussion to gather the essential information about your animal and the reason for the osteopathy session. Its medical history, lifestyle, behaviour, diet, activity and environment are all discussed in order to gain a comprehensive view of its situation.
This step allows your osteopath to place the animal within its living context and to tailor the clinical and osteopathic examination accordingly.
Your animal's file is then created and securely stored via Djooka, the digital health record dedicated to animals. You will find the consultation reports as well as the associated invoices there.
Locomotor and static examination
The consultation continues with a dynamic and static observation of your animal.
The analysis of locomotion allows the quality of movement, the symmetry of gaits and the range of motion to be assessed, as well as identifying any restrictions in mobility, compensations or gait irregularities.
The static observation complements this examination by looking for any postural imbalances, weight shifting, pain-related postures or bodily adaptations that may indicate functional discomfort.
The opportunity or exclusion diagnosis
A thorough palpatory examination is then carried out to confirm that your animal is indeed suitable for osteopathic care.
This step helps identify any warning signs requiring prior or complementary referral to your veterinarian. Osteopathy is always practised within the scope of its competence and as a complement to veterinary follow-up when this is indicated.
The osteopathic diagnosis
Using a precise manual examination, the osteopath assesses the mobility of the joints, muscles, fasciae, viscera, skull and various tissues of the body.
This overall assessment helps identify restrictions in mobility, functional adaptations and compensations that may contribute to the imbalances observed.
A summary is then presented and explained to you before the osteopathic treatment is carried out.
The osteopathic treatment
Treatment relies exclusively on manual techniques adapted to each animal, its species, age, activity and the reason for the consultation.
The aim is to restore optimal tissue mobility, improve the quality of movement, support the body's capacity for adaptation and contribute to the animal's functional comfort.
My practice draws on various complementary approaches: musculoskeletal, myofascial, tissue-based, visceral, fluid-based, cranial, reflex and tensegrity-based.
Post-session advice
At the end of the session, you will receive a report along with personalised recommendations tailored to your animal's needs.
This advice covers, among other things, rest management, the gradual resumption of activity, any recommended exercises, as well as points to watch for in the days following the consultation.
The aim is to promote optimal recovery and to place the care within an overall health and well-being approach, in collaboration with your veterinarian where necessary.
