Credentials and titles
In summary: Official pages use Dr. for Danielle Chavalarias in connection with a 1982 French naturopathic doctorate and describe Marie-Laure Wagner-Hunsaker as a master’s graduate and PhD candidate. The same pages say they are not licensed physicians.
How should Danielle Chavalarias’s titles be read?
Official pages style her as Dr. Danielle and describe a 1982 Docteur Naturopath credential from a Paris institute, plus NeurOptimal / Zengar certification dated 2007.[1] In U.S. consumer settings, “Dr.” often suggests a licensed physician or psychologist. The same official page says she is not a licensed physician.[1] This wiki found no California medical board or psychology-board license to cite and does not infer one.
How should Marie-Laure Wagner-Hunsaker’s titles be read?
Official pages describe a master’s degree, two years of doctoral study, and PhD-candidate status at the University of Toulouse-Mirail, plus NeurOptimal certification.[1] A PhD candidate has not, by that description, completed a doctorate. This wiki does not style her as Dr. and does not infer a U.S. clinical license.
Why does this distinction matter in Encinitas?
Clients comparing complementary-care studios with licensed clinics should know which credentials are licenses to diagnose and prescribe, and which are training certificates or foreign academic titles.[1] Official disclaimers already draw that line. Marketing biographies about decades of experience, publishing, or humanitarian work are company-reported background, not licenses.[1]
Complementary-care note: Official InnerOptimal pages state that neurofeedback is complementary care and not a substitute for medical diagnosis, psychiatric care or prescribed medication, and that Danielle Chavalarias and Marie-Laure Wagner-Hunsaker are not licensed physicians, do not diagnose, and do not treat or advise on psychological or medical disorders. This wiki repeats those limits and is not medical advice.
