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)'.

Techniques
The 6 approaches in animal osteopathy
Musculoskeletal (bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons)
Through this aspect of osteopathy, we work to rebalance the structure. This may involve techniques known as structural, myotensive or functional; either direct or indirect.
Tissue
These techniques can be applied across the whole body. They aim to improve the movement of a targeted structure or, more broadly, to restore good tissue communication from one end of the body to the other.
Fascial
The body is largely composed of fascia, initially described as mesoderm at the embryological stage. During the development of the embryo and foetus, this mesoderm differentiates into several types of fascia: superficial (dermis - hypodermis); intermediate (aponeuroses, serous membranes and splanchnic mesos, vessel sheaths); and deep (periosteum, tendons, dura mater).
In recent years, fascia has been the subject of much scientific research, and it fascinates osteopaths just as much.
Visceral
We focus on the mobility of organs and their ligamentous attachments. My final dissertation notably examined the practice of osteopathy on the means of fixation of the various organs.
Reflex
Reflex techniques work locally on the skin to induce a deeper action within the body. I particularly enjoy performing drawn lines focused on certain areas, allowing for both a localised and overall action on the lymphatic, circulatory and nervous systems.
Cranial
The cranial approach is a gentle osteopathic method that looks at the relationships between the skull, the spine, the sacrum, the membranes and the tissues that ensure the body's continuity.
