I grew up in Provence, with nature as my playground, sheep as my playmates, and cicadas as my soundtrack. That early connection with the natural world shaped me—gems and flaws, light and shadow, all part of who I am today.

At 15, I began studying Mandarin. A year later, I was fortunate to travel to China on a school trip—a life-changing experience. We landed back home just as students began demonstrating in Tiananmen Square. That moment sparked a deep desire in me to become a journalist, to travel, discover, and change the world.

Instead, I became a teacher—to travel, discover, and change the world in a different way. I taught in France, Vietnam, and China before returning to university and stepping into the field of international development.

As a consultant, I worked to support children and young people in realising their rights to education, protection, and participation. Over the years, I’ve worked in 50 countries with the UN, international organizations, and NGOs, living in Thailand, Kyrgyzstan, and the UK.

In 2012, I began mentoring professionals in international development. In 2017, I officially became a coach.

Traveling, discovering, and changing the world remain central to my life, though they manifest differently now.

My journeys have shifted—less about crossing borders, more about exploring local and inner landscapes. Whether cycling or walking through Europe, deepening my connection with nature or horses, or exploring my own mind and behaviour, I continue to learn, evolve, and grow.

I’ve come to understand that changing the world begins with changing ourselves—looking inward, before stepping outward.

My path has included its fair share of doubt, despair, and tears—and also love, laughter, and joy. 

And I bring all of it to my coaching, alongside the lived experience, the global perspective, the resilience, the interest for adult development, and a profound respect for others, nature and the planet.

I value togetherness with fellow beings, authenticity, and the belief that behind every challenge lies an opportunity to grow. I believe each of us can write our own story and weave it with others to enrich our lived experience and create beauty and meaning.
