Delphine is of French origin but grew up in London. In 2011, she relocated to Buckinghamshire with her young family. She graduated with distinction in 2008 from the British School of Osteopathy, now known as the University College of Osteopathy. She has practiced in various multidisciplinary clinics in London working alongside different medical and complimentary therapists.
Delphine enjoys treating a wide variety of patients, from newborn babies to the elderly with a particular focus on assessing the root cause of their symptoms. This approach may involve exploring many facets of the patient’s health and past details of their life story.
Delphine’s own experiences with pregnancy and postnatal care, plus the challenges of sharing her time between work and family, led her to a deeper understanding of the area of women’s health in the modern age. She became highly motivated to provide care in this field and in 2015 graduated from a two-year postgraduate diploma in 'Osteopathic approach to Women’s Health’ with the Molinari Institute of Health (MIH) in London. Delphine was taught by leading osteopaths, gynecologists, obstetricians and midwives in the field. Her main instructor on the course was Professor Renzo Molinari, world renowned in this field.
Delphine now enjoys using all her acquired osteopathic skills and knowledge to provide the best opportunity for her female patients to experience health throughout the various stages of their lives. Delphine became a certified Pilates instructor in 2010, and often prescribes Pilates based exercises alongside her osteopathic treatments. She also uses dry needling as an adjunct to her treatments.
Alongside clinical work, she continues to be involved with the MIH and translates courses delivered by French speaking osteopaths into English.
Delphine and her family moved to Jaipur, India for 9 months in 2016 to successfully establish an osteopathic clinic within a hospital. Again, this involved working in an integrated way with medical specialists at the hospital. She also worked at the UCO teaching Osteopathic Technique at undergraduate level in 2014/2015.
Outside of time with her family, Delphine enjoys many sports. She is a keen tennis player, runner, swims and practices yoga.
