About me
The joy of playing outside.
All through my childhood, I had the chance to spend a lot of time outside, in nature. I've always been keen for action: it's in movement that I relax! So I quickly understood that playing outside is a vital resource for me... Now as an adult, running, cycling, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, long hikes and sometimes kitesurfing, paddleboarding ...for me these are all excuses to go outside and play. I like to say that I don't excel at anything but that I'm very good at enjoying any activity, as long as it takes place outside (...and especially if there's a hint of adventure!)
The course of my career
It was in 2010 that I began my career as a podiatrist. I worked in a few podiatric clinics in Montreal before starting my own practice. Over time, I expanded my toolbox by taking various training courses. I.e. ultrasound, manual therapy, running analysis, shock wave therapy, Bootfitting, etc. It allowed me to continually learn, gain experience in my field and shape my vision.
Faithful Bromont weekenders for years, Vincent and I had an old dream of getting closer to the mountains and the forest. It finally came to reality in 2019 when we threw ourselves body and soul into this project that La Base has become.
How lucky we are to live in Bromont with our two boys, Jules and Charles! Boots finally walk the talk; playing outside is gradually becoming our real way of life. My mission is aligned more than ever and I am fulfilled to be able to treat such an inspiring population, all surrounded by passionate colleagues who share similar values!
Keeping you active!
I sincerely believe that movement is the foundation (the base!) of our health, both physical and psychological, even more so if it is experienced in the form of play. Simply, humans are machines that must move to do well!
Performance and excellence are always stimulating and motivating but I believe that it is really in the state of play that we are able to escape and recharge our batteries! Even more important, it is by having fun that movement becomes an integral part of our lives and this is how we can benefit from its benefits... This is all well and good but if our feet start to hurt, let's be honest, it just ruins everything!
My mission is therefore simply to help people play outside as much as they want and in the way they are passionate about, without being limited by a problem related to their feet.
