Maëlle graduated in France then moved to England to work in Manchester with Philip Owen, Osteopath of the Manchester United soccer team. Part of her training was accomplished with the Irish Rugby squad in Cork in preparation for the Rugby World Cup 2007. She also travelled to Australia where she met and worked with highly regarded sports personalities.

 

After two years in the UK, she left for French Polynesia where she was hired as Head Osteopath for The Brando Hotel on Marlon's Private Island. After a year on the Private Atoll, she relocated to Bora Bora, opened her own clinic and worked there for several years. She worked in tight collaboration with orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, general practitioners and midwives. Her reputation followed her and was contracted by top luxury resorts : FourSeasons, Conrad Hilton, Intercontinental, Relais&Châteaux to see their clients. Superyachts crews, owners and guests privately related on her careful and dedicated work.

 

Early 2020 she moved to New Zealand. She settled in Hawkes Bay where she met Dr S. Newman, head of FemaleGP in Napier, leader of Woman's Health New Zealand. They strongly collaborated together at The Kowhai Maternity Clinic with The Kowhai Midwifery Group to promote Woman's Health.

Now in Wānaka, around a team of well-established professionals, Maëlle sees a wide range of patients from newborn to elderly. Her cranial skills are highly regarded in the area as much as her discretion within the clinic.
