ANIMAL OSTEOPATHY
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein
Since I was little, I've always wanted to care for animals.
It started while I grew up surrounded by them in the wild countryside of the Ardèche, France, where I built a deep relationship of trust and respect with many different species that would much later inspire me to sudy the fabulous profession of animal therapist. However, I first started my university studies in history and archeology in Montpellier before taking the leap and moving to England in search of adventure. I lived as a busy Londoner for 4 years until I migrated further south to be seduced by Brighton and the stunning surrounding countryside. Only there I discovered the European School of Animal Osteopathy and I knew this was what I had always wanted to do. It wasn't long before I began the 5 year intensive course of osteopathy and its sciences, where I remained studying until 2020, the year I graduated.
The ESAO school was the first animal osteopathy school to be created in Europe. In 2002, it was accredited by the British Accreditation Council and was certified ISO9001 in 2004 by the C.Q.S (Control Quality System.). In 2019, ESAO became recognised as a higher education institution by the French Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research.
My work is based on the restoration of the body's homeostasis while maintaining respect of each individual I treat. To achieve this I use various procedures including structural manipulations, myofascial work, visceral treatments and craniosacral techniques as well as stretchings and exercises to bring confort and ensure well being for the animal.
