My story
Originally from Strasbourg, I completed my Bachelor in Physiology and Cell Biology, followed by a master's degree in Neuroscience and Cognitive Psychology. I got my bearings for circadian rhythms during my master internship at the Institute of Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences (INCI) in Strasbourg where I studied biological clocks in rodents. I then wanted to deepen this knowledge in humans and I therefore decided to continue with a doctorate in Neuroscience and Chronobiology at the Chronobiology center of the University of Basel in Switzerland. For 4 years I was able to study the biological rhythms and the influence of light exposure on humans. Following this research, I wanted to expose myself to more sunlight and found myself a few months later under the sun of California. There I was a post-doctorate fellow at the sleep center of Stanford University. For 3 years I studied the effects of light exposure and aging on human behavior and more particularly on sleep.
During these years, I also occupied the role of events coordinator for the Silicon Valley region within a national association for scientific communication. During my conferences (scientific or not), I realized that the subject of “sleep” interested many people but was still very little known. Many did not know the essential basics of a healthy lifestyle adapted to their own needs. This is how I decided to help you by offering more personalized seminars and follow-ups so that you can listen to your body and boost your life every day!
