There’s something in you that makes you feel alive—something that excites you, that gives you a sense of purpose, that makes life feel like more than just going through the motions. Maybe you’ve already felt it before, or maybe you’re still searching. Maybe it’s something big and bold, or maybe it’s something quiet but deeply meaningful. Whatever it is, I want to help you find it, trust it, and actually live it. Because life isn’t just about existing—it’s about feeling good in your own skin, trusting yourself, and building a life that actually feels like yours.

We all go through phases where we feel lost, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. That’s why I don’t just focus on helping you reach for your goals and dreams—I also help you cope, adapt, and move through life with confidence and trust in yourself.

At the end of the day, I want you to feel like you’ve got your own back—no matter what.

What is coaching, and how does it help?
Coaching is about helping you feel more confident, handle stress better, and figure out what you want—without pressure or judgment. It’s not therapy, advice, or homework. It’s a space to talk, reflect, and get practical tools to navigate life in a way that feels right for you.

How do sessions work?
We talk—sometimes about big things, sometimes about small things. Together, we break down challenges and build strategies that actually work. It’s a mix of conversation, reflection, and practical tools to help you move forward.

Is this like therapy?
No. Coaching is about growth, confidence, and action, not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. If you’re feeling really overwhelmed, therapy might be a better fit. Coaching is for when you’re ready to gain clarity, make decisions, and feel more in control of your life.

What if I don’t know what I need?
That’s okay! You don’t have to have it all figured out. Coaching helps you make sense of what’s going on and find the next step that feels right for you.

Over
Je vis actuellement à Nairobi au Kenya ou je travaille pour une ONG internationale dans la résolution de conflits et la consolidation de la paix.
J’avais onze ans quand j’ai quitté la France. Depuis, j’ai vécu dans six pays. Chaque déménagement a été une expérience de croissance. J’ai appris à me réinventer, à créer du lien, à repérer la meilleure baguette du quartier, à louer un appartement, et à naviguer dans les méandres administratifs à l’étranger. Mais surtout, j’ai compris ce qui m’anime vraiment. Sortir de ma zone de confort me donne un sentiment de liberté, et apprendre—sur le monde, sur les autres, sur moi-même—est ce qui me passionne le plus.

Avec le temps, j’ai aussi réalisé que, peu importe où l’on vient, les défis que nous traversons se ressemblent. Doutes, peurs, incertitudes—si ces obstacles sont universels, les solutions le sont souvent aussi.

En 2020, lorsque la pandémie a bouleversé nos vies, je travaillais comme tutrice auprès de plusieurs adolescents. Soudain privés de leur routine et confrontés à l’incertitude, ils avaient besoin de plus qu’un simple soutien scolaire. Nos séances sont devenues un espace où ils pouvaient exprimer leurs craintes, remettre en question ce qu’ils voulaient, chercher du sens dans un monde chamboulé. Sans m’en rendre compte, je me suis glissée dans un rôle de mentor, les aidant à traverser cette période.
Depuis toujours, j’ai une curiosité insatiable pour ce qui nous façonne en tant qu’êtres humains. J’ai exploré différentes approches du bien-être, de la sophrologie à la kinésiologie, en passant par le développement personnel et la psychologie. Mon parcours professionnel m’a également mené vers la la médiation et la résolution des conflits—des domaines où il est question d’écoute, de compréhension des autres et de dialogue. J’ai été fascinée par la manière dont les gens peuvent transformer leur manière de voir les choses, dépasser leurs blocages, et avancer malgré les préjugés, les doutes et les désaccords.
Je sais ce que c’est que de se sentir perdue, d’être paralysée par l’indécision, ou d’avoir l’impression de ne pas avancer dans la bonne direction. Je connais aussi cette sensation de décalage, ce besoin de changement sans savoir par où commencer.
Et je sais ce que ça fait de retrouver une forme de clarté, de se sentir alignée avec ses choix, et de construire une vie qui fait vraiment sens.

C’est pour ça que j’accompagne celles et ceux qui se posent des questions, qui sont à un tournant, qui cherchent à mieux comprendre ce qu’ils veulent et comment y arriver.

Et surtout, parce qu’on n’a pas à trouver toutes les réponses seul.

They still exist: people who believe that hypnosis is not real, or that it is a paranormal activity. However, decades ago it was scientifically proven that hypnosis not only exists, but is also very effective in achieving all kinds of different goals. Thanks to the hypnosis course, you too can learn what exactly this fascinating state entails.

This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress. You can take both live and online lessons.

'Enlightenment is always preceded by confusion.'
Milton H. Erickson

What is hypnosis?

To understand hypnosis, think of sunlight; that is diffuse and falls somewhat everywhere. However, if you bundle light through a number of crystals, you turn it into a laser beam. Hypnosis does the same with your attention. It is usually focused on several things at the same time. This way you not only see what is directly in front of you, but you also notice things to the left and right, in your peripheral vision. However, when you focus yourself and focus your attention on one point, you can achieve a hypnotic state.

Our brains

In the past, people who talked about hypnosis mainly talked about the two brain hemispheres. The left hemisphere controls the right part of the body (except the ears), the right hemisphere controls the left part of our body.

Moreover, it has often been claimed that our logical thinking (including arithmetic) and our language are mainly located in the left hemisphere of the brain, and our creativity in our right hemisphere. However, this is only partially true. The reality is a lot more complex, and other parts of the brain often take over when a certain part is damaged.

In ancient texts - and unfortunately often also in more modern writings - you often read that hypnosis additionally activates the right hemisphere of the brain. During brain scans we can indeed see that a different pattern emerges than when one is asleep or awake.

However, the investigation into what exactly is going on is by no means complete. What we can say with certainty is that the brain usually works as if what is suggested is actually registered, as opposed to what happens when one simply imagines something! Numerous experiments (often with PET scans, such as the experiment by Henry Szechtman of McMaster University in Ontario in 1998, or the pain reduction experiment of Pierre Rainville of the University of Montreal a year earlier) have already shown this.

Brain experiments give us a good example of why hypnosis is so effective in (among other things) pain relief. For example, during a well-known experiment, subjects were confronted with pain stimuli of different intensities. They had to report how much pain they were in while their brain activity was also recorded.

The subjective experience of pain of the same intensity differed enormously from subject to subject, but the activated brain area during the pain experience was especially interesting: after all, this was an area responsible for memory and experience! How strongly you experience pain is therefore largely related to the way you deal with it and not only to the objective intensity!

You will never do anything you don't want to do

The above statement is also largely correct, but it must be qualified somewhat. A particularly small portion of the population—perhaps about one percent—seems to reach a state labeled “stuporous.” These people seem to do just about anything asked.

However, we believe that this has nothing to do with a bad or unstable character, or with absolute control of the hypnotist. What is going on can be explained by the phenomenon of narrowed attention. Because a stuporous person is so concentrated on the task at hand, he or she is often no longer really concerned with what is happening around him or her.

You stay active

In any case, hypnotized people never behave like passive machines: they are actively solving their problems, and are also creative when not suggested by the therapist. However, most things that happen to them are experienced as 'effortless', as if everything happens 'by itself'.

Not everyone has the feeling of being 'away': you usually maintain contact with the outside world during a hypnosis session. It is precisely because of the possibility of disturbance that spectators are usually asked to remain quiet during shows. By the way, it's important that you can hear the hypnotist, right?

Harmless

Hypnosis is absolutely harmless. Negative suggestions can be harmful, but that also applies to everyday life. Anyone who is constantly told by the teacher that he or she is not making any sense of it runs the risk of believing it even when it is not true, or of having a dent in self-confidence. This means that hypnotherapists - like all people - should certainly be careful with the suggestions they give!
For example, we think that most (or all) people suffering from multiple personality disorder (where people believe they have multiple personalities) have been given false suggestions (not necessarily under hypnosis) by people talking about different 'parts' or 'personalities'. And what to think about fortune tellers, whose predictions often become true because people (unconsciously) direct their actions accordingly - which does not necessarily mean that they are all quacks.

Research also shows that when reminiscing, people often fantasize things! A therapist must therefore be careful of this, especially when it concerns alleged incest or abuse, for example.

You always wake up

It is impossible to remain 'stuck' in a hypnotic state. Anyone who remained in hypnosis would simply fall asleep and then wake up sober. It seems that people also often experience a hypnotic state in daily life, for example when reading, watching TV, or practicing yoga or meditation.

Tool

As mentioned, hypnosis is often an excellent tool for treating all kinds of ailments and problems of a psychological or psychosomatic nature. And since body and psyche have a huge mutual influence on each other, this means that you can alleviate or eliminate a lot of suffering with hypnosis. For example, it has been frequently shown that hypnosis is very effective against allergies, psoriasis and anxiety, but hypnotic techniques are also often used to achieve positive goals.

I dedicate over 20 years of experience as a singing teacher and vocal coach to helping you achieve your goals. Since 2005, I've been constantly exploring the voice and its mysteries to best support each individual in their uniqueness.

From scientifically supported vocal techniques (speaking voice and/or singing voice) to various artistic and creative aspects, including your vital energy and your vocal health, together we open up the range of possibilities to free your light, your inner strength, your vocal imprint.

SINGING VOICE:

Whether you want to sing for pleasure or to develop your technique professionally, I will guide you with enthusiasm and kindness towards achieving your vocal aspirations, adapting to your goals and moving towards what really moves you forward.

Knowledge about the voice and how it works has evolved over the years. Today, everything is accessible to anyone who wants to work on their voice using a variety of simple, fun, and effective techniques.

My tools to guide you:
- CVT (Complete Vocal Technique - DK)
- SLS (Speech Level Singing - USA)
- Lax Vox Therapy
- SOVT Exercises (Semi Occluded Vocal Tract)
- 25 years of professional experience

We can or will work on:
- The musical style of your choice: pop, rock, jazz, folk, country, gospel, mantras, musical comedy, rnb, rap, metal, French song, ... You choose which songs you want to move on.
- The essential pillars for healthy and optimal use of the voice: support, adequate breathing, twang, jaw relaxation.
- Vocal modes: Neutral, Overdrive, Curbing, Edge or more commonly: head voice, mixed voice, chest voice.
- Sound colors: dark vs. light
- Resonances, use of resonators
- Effects: distortion, grunt, growl, rattle, creaking, audible breath, vocal breaks, screams, vibrato, ornamentations, etc.
- Interpretation, reinterpretation
- Improvisation, intuitive singing
- The harmonies
- Help with English pronunciation
- Use and management of the microphone
- recordings
- casting and auditions preparation


SPEAKING VOICE:
Your voice, your way of communicating, your profession, your charisma, your message.

You are a coach, entrepreneur, actor, teacher, speaker, lawyer, sports coach, or looking for your vocal identity (feminization, timbre, power, impact, etc.).

Vocal technique will help you manage, modulate, love, and carry your voice and your message in a healthy and sustainable way on a daily basis and when speaking in public.

No more trembling, cracking, tiring voices.
No more not being heard and straining your voice. No more losing your voice...

To guide you towards optimizing your voice, I will use the same tools as those presented in the singing voice coaching description, adapting of course to your vocal wishes and needs.

The "permanent" modification of your spontaneous and natural speaking voice (so not just the one that is temporarily activated during controlled speaking) is entirely possible but requires daily investment and patience. I will guide you towards your true desired voice with all kindness.


I look forward to meeting you and supporting you in your development, your performance and your vocal health.

What is hypnosis?

To understand hypnosis, think of sunlight; that is diffuse and falls somewhat everywhere. However, if you bundle light through a number of crystals, you turn it into a laser beam. Hypnosis does the same with your attention. It is usually focused on several things at the same time. This way you not only see what is directly in front of you, but you also notice things to the left and right, in your peripheral vision. However, when you focus yourself and focus your attention on one point, you can achieve a hypnotic state.

Tool

As mentioned, hypnosis is often an excellent tool for treating all kinds of ailments and problems of a psychological or psychosomatic nature. And since body and psyche have a huge mutual influence on each other, this means that you can alleviate or eliminate a lot of suffering with hypnosis. For example, it has been frequently shown that hypnosis is very effective against allergies, psoriasis and anxiety, but hypnotic techniques are also often used to achieve positive goals.

I dedicate over 20 years of experience as a singing teacher and vocal coach to helping you achieve your goals. Since 2005, I've been constantly exploring the voice and its mysteries to best support each individual in their uniqueness.

From scientifically supported vocal techniques (speaking voice and/or singing voice) to various artistic and creative aspects, including your vital energy and your vocal health, together we open up the range of possibilities to free your light, your inner strength, your vocal imprint.

SINGING VOICE:

Whether you want to sing for pleasure or to develop your technique professionally, I will guide you with enthusiasm and kindness towards achieving your vocal aspirations, adapting to your goals and moving towards what really moves you forward.

Knowledge about the voice and how it works has evolved over the years. Today, everything is accessible to anyone who wants to work on their voice using a variety of simple, fun, and effective techniques.

My tools to guide you:
- CVT (Complete Vocal Technique - DK)
- SLS (Speech Level Singing - USA)
- Lax Vox Therapy
- SOVT Exercises (Semi Occluded Vocal Tract)
- 25 years of professional experience

We can or will work on:
- The musical style of your choice: pop, rock, jazz, folk, country, gospel, mantras, musical comedy, rnb, rap, metal, French song, ... You choose which songs you want to move on.
- The essential pillars for healthy and optimal use of the voice: support, adequate breathing, twang, jaw relaxation.
- Vocal modes: Neutral, Overdrive, Curbing, Edge or more commonly: head voice, mixed voice, chest voice.
- Sound colors: dark vs. light
- Resonances, use of resonators
- Effects: distortion, grunt, growl, rattle, creaking, audible breath, vocal breaks, screams, vibrato, ornamentations, etc.
- Interpretation, reinterpretation
- Improvisation, intuitive singing
- The harmonies
- Help with English pronunciation
- Use and management of the microphone
- recordings
- casting and auditions preparation


SPEAKING VOICE:
Your voice, your way of communicating, your profession, your charisma, your message.

You are a coach, entrepreneur, actor, teacher, speaker, lawyer, sports coach, or looking for your vocal identity (feminization, timbre, power, impact, etc.).

Vocal technique will help you manage, modulate, love, and carry your voice and your message in a healthy and sustainable way on a daily basis and when speaking in public.

No more trembling, cracking, tiring voices.
No more not being heard and straining your voice. No more losing your voice...

To guide you towards optimizing your voice, I will use the same tools as those presented in the singing voice coaching description, adapting of course to your vocal wishes and needs.

The "permanent" modification of your spontaneous and natural speaking voice (so not just the one that is temporarily activated during controlled speaking) is entirely possible but requires daily investment and patience. I will guide you towards your true desired voice with all kindness.


I look forward to meeting you and supporting you in your development, your performance and your vocal health.
