My path

In the 1980s, I was a very sensitive child—what we would call hypersensitive today—who communicated very easily with nature and animals, with whom everything was simple, fluid, and direct, and who experienced firsthand how difficult it was to communicate and be in harmony with people.

With this kind of sensitivity, suffering was an intense and all-encompassing experience that was part of my daily life, for which I had no explanation, no understanding, and no reassuring support from those around me, which was nevertheless essential for learning to regulate these amplified emotional states at such a young age.

In addition to my own suffering, I also perceived the suffering of those around me. Since I had to find ways to survive it myself, and by myself, I made those resources available to those around me who needed them. This, of course, happened without my being aware of it.

This close proximity to suffering—my own and that of others, which I perceived as intensely as my own—has been my greatest teacher since I learned how to write. It is this relationship with suffering, stemming from this heightened awareness that I could not ignore, that drove me to seek, study, and experiment with different spiritual and psychotherapeutic approaches to find a way to live in balance, despite this tendency to be overwhelmed, both internally and externally, by my feelings.

Like learning to drive a powerful car without brakes, this required and helped me forge an endurance, a faith, and a self-reliance that the various forms of knowledge I subsequently accumulated allowed me to become more aware of.

It was therefore quite natural that, from my first job at age 14, I turned to tutoring, helping others find within themselves the resources they needed to navigate situations that caused them stress and threatened their equilibrium.

I then continued along this path, supporting people to better understand themselves and manage their internal states, first when teaching French as a foreign language, and then by providing professional training on stress and conflict management for social workers.

At 32, after becoming a mother for the second time, I trained in NLP and then CBT, before establishing myself as a life coach. Bold move, but I couldn't ignore my gut feeling, recently heightened by my new maternal functions.

For the past 18 years, I have trained in numerous modalities, all with the aim of helping people develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

The most important to me is IFS. This approach allows me to put words and structure to what I have always intuitively experienced.

Psychedelic medicine, which unites nature and mind, has also enriched my life and my understanding of it, and its organic connection with IFS became clear to me, the two working together harmoniously to support self-knowledge and healing.

Therefore, alongside guiding people with IFS to help them enhance their intuition and deepen their self knowledge, I also offer my expertise as a coach and IFS practitioner to professionals who guide psychedelic experiences, as well as to individuals who choose to have them for themselves, to support the preparation and integration of these powerful experiences.

I am a strong believer in long term learning, in practice and in community for us to grow.
