“It always seems impossible until it’s done”

Hi, I’m Marie. An Ortho-Bionomy practitioner and yoga teacher dedicated to help you create more movement and comfort in your life.
From the French Alps to the Australian Beaches
My journey with bodywork started in the French Alps where I was born.
I discovered Ortho-Bionomy®, yoga and massage while I was studying indigenous literature at university and was suffering from neck pain. I was so amazed with the results these therapies had on my body, that after 4 years of University I decided to stop my studies and dove straight into the learning of massage and Ortho-Bionomy®. In 2008, I took a massage course and started working as a relaxation massage therapist in the small ski resort of Samoëns. A year later I moved to Australia, completed my Diploma in Remedial Massage, continued to train in Ortho-Bionomy® and started to work in a clinic in Melbourne.
Being in the top 10% of students in my massage studies, I was invited to train for Evolve College (formerly the Australian College of Massage) and became a massage trainer in 2010.
For over 7 years, I took hundreds of students through their Diploma of Remedial Massage. Students always enjoyed my enthusiasm and fun yet informative way to pass on knowledge.
From massage training my work slowly evolved in teaching anatomy for yoga teacher training programs.
In 2017, I also became a yoga teacher and started to create unique workshops like the popular pelvic floor workshop.
During several years I successfully ran these workshops and my clinic (and gave birth to 2 daughters!) when suddenly life took a turn.
The mountains were calling me back! In 2023, with my little family, we embarked on an epic 2 year journey to live in the French Alps and travel all over Europe in our motor home. During this incredible adventure, I moved my work online. I started to ‘see’ my clients with video calls, and also created an online platform where you can find my most popular courses.
Today I am still seeing clients online as well as in clinics in Anna Bay and Newcastle.
My work is constantly evolving and as I go through the years, I’m even more committed to help you feel at ease in your body. During our sessions I use Ortho-Bionomy®, breathwork, yoga and a lot of intuition.
It is always so fulfilling to see people walk out of a session feeling freer in their body and with a much better understanding of themselves. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we move, every session is different but one thing for sure; it always brings a positive change.
When I am not practicing Ortho-Bionomy® or teaching yoga you can find me on the beach with my surfboard, on a mountain snowboarding with the kids or in the kitchen making all sorts of delicious organic meals for my family.
Thank you for making it to the end of this page and I look forward to connecting with you soon.
