Long Business Description

Mother of 2 boys, Patrick and Xavier, I am a Medical Doctor graduate.

I have been running the IBK, a Kinesiology Professional Training school in Belgium, since 1986, and practice and teach various branches of Kinesiology since 1983 in Belgium and in many European countries, in French, English and Spanish. I understand large amounts of Italian and German. IKC TFH Faculty since 1989, I am or have also been Instructor/Faculty for most of the large branches of Kinesiology (Hyperton-X, Wellness Kinesiology, Edu Kinesiology, Applied Physiology, etc.). I am teaching SIPS since the end of the 90s and in 2003, I created  Corps Energie, a new branch of Kinesiology.

I am also practicing and teaching some Energy Psychology tools. Recognized as a level 3 Practitioner and Trainer in EFT by EFT International and by EFTMRA, I am also certified EFT Cert-II by Gary Craig. Among others, I also practice and teach PTT (Picture Tapping Technique).

I love my job, I love the smiles on the face of the persons who thrust me at the end of a session or a class. Thanks to John Thie without whom Kinesiology wouldn't have developed that way and thanks to Ian who created the Kinesiology of the future.
