Passionate about skiing from his childhood, he became an instructor at the Lioran resort in Auvergne. This is where a bad fall permanently changes its trajectory. Admitted to a rehabilitation center, he met a podiatrist there. It was love at first sight for this job and in 1997, he successfully passed his Pedicure-Podologist diploma at the Assas school in Paris. Bastien holds his late beloved grandmother as an inspiration and the reason for his profession today. He referred to her as an, “authentic, beautiful French lady who had the perfect set of nails even at the age of 92.”
