Such varied experience has helped Desirée to identify that she enjoys both, teaching people, and working with them, to understand how movement plays a key role in recovery, daily life function and lifestyle improvement. To provide the best treatment to all of her clients, Desirée regularly engages in furthering her professional knowledge through courses, reading and conferences.

In her spare time, Desirée can be found leading an active lifestyle through exercise and playing sports, and enjoying her family’s athletic and academic pursuits.

She lives by the slogan, "Use it or lose it; movement is freedom!"
