UNIVERSITY EDUCATION (Bac + 5): Bachelor's/Master's degree in Psychological and Educational Sciences at the Université Catholique de Louvain, internships and dissertation in Neurophenomenology of Meditation (Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière, Mind & Life Institute)
SPECIALIZED TRAINING: Hypnotherapy & Brief Therapy (ADREA, recognized by the Institut Milton H.

His multiple backgrounds (beyond any school sectarianism) enable him to best adapt to the individual's needs and problems. In concrete terms, he advocates an integrated, integrative psychology/therapy that short-circuits the verbal-mental, taking its source in and drawing its resources from contemplation (meditation) and non-dual philosophy, as well as traditional "hypno-shamanic" practices.
