MiMi attended her first yoga class in 1989 at the University of Namur in Belgium, her native country. Since then, her interest in yoga philosophy and in the ancient science of yoga as a healing modality and as a path to happiness has continued to grow. She has been a Certified Yoga Teacher since 1996 and a full-time yoga instructor since 1997.

After completing 6 years of study with her main teacher, Gary Kraftsow, founder and director of the world renowned American Viniyoga Institute, MiMi received her 500 hour Viniyoga Teacher Certificate in June 2006. Her final project was to create a 6-week prenatal yoga series, applying the Viniyoga principles to Prenatal Yoga. MiMi continues to take Gary’s trainings when he visits Texas.

MiMi has been specializing in pregnancy and postpartum support through yoga, massage, and education since 2003, the year she became a certified Mamaste(TM) Prenatal Yoga teacher. She is trained in pre- and post-natal massage therapy and teaches the "Baby's First Massage"R and Infant Massage USA’s programs to new parents. She is also a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, a MuTu Pro™ and a retired doula. MiMi’s business, Breathe… Yoga and Massage, was nominated by Dallas Child’s Magazine as Best for Moms and Babies in 2015 and 2016.

Her training and experience help MiMi tailor her classes to the physical and emotional needs of her students. Her greatest joy comes from providing women with tools and a supportive community to maintain or reclaim physical, mental and emotional comfort at any stage of life. She loves witnessing them taking steps towards an empowering pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
