From an early age he practised Judo. He studied Koho Shiatsu in 1977 in parallel with his physiotherapy studies. He also received various TCM teachings for 5 years. In 1981 he went to Japan to Okuyama Sensei's school and was "Uchi-deshi" (internal student) for several months. In 1983 he created the Koho-Shiatsu centre in Montpellier, then moved to Paris and settled there permanently. He practised therapeutic Shiatsu intensively for 20 years and developed a number of bridges with doctors and hospitals.
In 2002 he founded his own style, Sei Shiatsu Do (the way of sincere Shiatsu) and his own school, EST (École de Shiatsu Thérapeutique de Paris). Shortly afterwards, he also created the AIST (Association Internationale de Shiatsu Traditionnel) within which practitioners regularly go to practice and teach in Peru, Benin, India and Spain.
He has written 4 books on Shiatsu, including the "Vade Mecum" (Quintessence editions) considered as the "practical bible" of Shiatsu in France. He is currently president of the UFPST (Union Francophone des professionnels de Shiatsu Thérapeutique).
