My Story

Passionate about the health field, I began my studies with a two-year aromatherapy training course, which sparked my interest in the olfactory system and, later, in neuroscience. After completing the aromatherapy course, I felt I wanted more knowledge about the workings of the human body and decided to study physiotherapy, which I love. At the end of my physiotherapy studies, I wanted to deepen my knowledge in psychology and completed a master's degree in psychology, specializing in aromatherapy and psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology (PNI, a mind-body interaction model). To further enhance my understanding of mind-body interaction, I trained in hatha yoga, specialized in phytotherapy, and earned a doctorate in psychology with a focus on aromatherapy, yoga therapy, and PNI. After this doctorate, I realized I wanted to deepen my knowledge of neuroscience to better understand the olfactory system, so I pursued a second doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology, working with the molecular neuroscience of olfaction. In parallel, I expanded my knowledge in neuroscience and the role of the nervous system in mind-body interaction. A very studious person, I have always enjoyed expanding my knowledge by taking various courses (many of which are not included in my resume below because they wouldn't fit in this space).
