My Story

I’m a homeschooling mother of 2 children (12 and 15 years old). And as many mothers, I had dreams and expectations for them. Be intelligent, be respectful, caring, successful at school and work, polite... Despite all the books I read, videos I watched, influencers I was following about parenting, the reality of motherhood hit me differently... I quickly realized that I had become a monster: yelling, punishing, threatening, shaming, overwhelmed, exhausted...

I went through a real transformational path to become a more conscious mother, wife, woman and to better support and guide my children's unique journey.

And I now coach parents to help them eliminate their parenting anger, exhaustion, overwhelm, stress so they can parent stress-free with more confidence and joy.

and random facts

United Colors Heritage

Ours could be a poster family for the “Benetton” brand

I was born and raised in Paris. My parents have mixed backgrounds from Asia, the Carribean and France. I married an amazing man who is from different countries in Africa: Gabon, Guinea, Senegal… And we've lived in 3 different continents and now live in Canada. Our family has many heritages. We embrace diversity and love learning about different cultures. I envision travelling the world more with my family and have a meaningful and positive impact wherever we would go.

I lived 5 years in the jungle

I left the comfort of home to discover who I really was

I left my pharmaceutical career in France to join my future husband in on a life altering 5-year posting in Central Africa (Gabon) in the jungle with wild animals around our house (snakes, elephants...). I discovered a passion to help others and particularly children. I founded and led a non-governmental organization to support local communities. I also led a children health awareness program, with the support of the WHO, UNESCO and local associations. A profound eye-opening journey.

Born & Raised with Music

My children were both deeply impacted by music

My first child was deeply impacted by music. And my second child was even more. Being a musician since very young age, music has never left me. I’ve learnt about the multiple benefits of music for brain development. The brain gets wired differently with music. Among the tools I use to help families, music is one of my favourites.

Dr Jekyll or Mister Hyde

My children revealed the “Mister Hyde” to my “Dr. Jekyll”

I didn’t know I would be so challenged when I became a mother, despite all the books I read, videos I watched, people I followed on parenting. Projecting my expectations on them led to shaming, yelling, punishing and more... Like many other parents, I was overwhelmed. Fortunately, I discovered a transformational path with emotional intelligence, non-violent communication and intuitive intelligence, conscious parenting. I was then able to help my family, and other families. Both our children have since been our best teachers to be better parents and human beings.

Born performer

The stage is my second home

I love performing dance and music. I’ve been dancing since I was 5 years old. And for many years, I’ve been performing Bollywood and teaching Bollywood. Those activities are my self-care activities. I refill my bucket with joy, energy and love, so I can pour more care on others. Taking care of ourselves first is key to be able to take care of others. Like in an airplane, you put your oxygen mask on first, then you can help others. I’ve always encourage parents and educators to find fill their buckets to better guide their children manage their family in a more balance state.

Multilingual

I speak mainly French, English and Emotional Language

French is my mother tongue language, and English is my day-to-day language. Sometimes I mix them up too, so I speak fluent "Frenglish" you see. Oui, very much! I have a basic level in German and Dutch too. However, most importantly I’ve been embracing speaking the emotional language. I’ve been teaching children and adults that fundamental language. It’s so key to be able to communicate with more empathy and compassion with one another.

Left-and-Right Brained

I am both left-brained (logical) and right-brained (creative)

I love learning about the latest studies on brain development and the biology of the body. My master degree in biochemistry has helped nurture that logical and scientific side. I also love music, dancing, playing the flute, the ukulele, and sometimes the drums. Crafting with my kids is also fun, (and messy) especially when we up-cycle a bunch of cardboard boxes, containers and fabric.

Nature Conscious

I love Nature and Outdoor

I’m captivated by Mother Nature: the fauna and flora. Being outdoor, hiking, walking around and observing the greatness of the World and its people is kind of my spiritual meditation.I do my best to purchase more consciously and mindfully. And I guide my children on that same path too. So much so that I wrote a picture book for children in 2014 with a theme around environment, up-cycling, emotions and music.

I look beyond the obvious

Energy work is part of my daily life

My brother in-law introduced me to energy work to help ease emotional triggers, heal traumas and to get rid of useless conditioning and believes. I’ve learned to use those tools and other tools (Thought Field Therapy, chakras balancing, meditation cards, dimensions, sound therapy…) since with my family and clients - looking at them through many filters – in a holistic way – beyond the obvious.
