Coming from a French flying doctor Dad and a consciously enquiring Mom, Erwann has been exposed to various concepts of health wellbeing and trans-cultural imprints from a very early age.

Trained and practiced as a physiotherapist in France he then moved to Osteopathy and was drawn to explore the movement world not only through the scope of bodywork, but also in its psychological and social contexts.

His 25 years of experience are backed up by an executive coaching training and a full time postgraduate Diploma on the neurophysiological and multidisciplinary approach to pain both acquired at the University of Cape Town South Africa.

Erwann has extended his training in the field of genomics and has completed PG, Dip in sleep medicine and circadian rhythms in the Nuffield department of clinical neuroscience at Oxford University.

He is lecturing and working both in Europe and South Africa with the precision medicine tools applied to chronobiology, sleep, movement, breathing and pain management that he is fortunate to propose for world athletes and leaders.
