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 my ways of being: curious, grounded, independent, organic, caring.

I became a teacher to contribute, empower and support. I taught in France, Vietnam, and China before returning to university and stepping into the field of international development. As a consultant, I helped 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 organisations, 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, to support others to navigate uncertainty and lead with purpose, presence and courage.

My travels have shifted—less about crossing borders, more about exploring 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 any change in 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. I bring all of it to my coaching, alongside the global perspective, the transitions I’ve experienced, an understanding of ‘in-betweenness’ (countries, careers, life roles, communities, cultural & professional identities), and a profound respect for others, nature and the planet.

I value authenticity and the belief that each of us can write our own story and weave it with others to enrich our lived experience and create beautiful and meaningful things in this world.
