Flore’s background
Born and raised in Leuven, Flore’s journey to Waves began through a university friend who had interned at the practice, as well as her own experience with the Polestar Comprehensive Pilates Series. She holds a degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences with a specialisation in Manual Therapy, an Educational Master’s in Health Sciences (both from KU Leuven), and has completed the Polestar Comprehensive Series in Pilates. Together, these experiences have shaped her holistic and client-centred approach to movement and therapy.
Flore’s lifelong passion for dance has given her experience in contemporary, modern dance, jazz, and ballet.

At Waves, Flore works as both a physiotherapist and Pilates instructor, guiding clients towards a positive and sustainable relationship with movement.
