About me
Bilingual Personal & Professional Development Coach (English–French)
Self-Leadership | Clarity | Growth
I am a bilingual (English–French) personal and professional development coach with over 30 years of experience supporting individuals who are proactive about their growth, both at work and in their personal lives. My professional path began as a psychotherapist and evolved into coaching, leadership development, training, and facilitation.
I work with individuals who wish to strengthen their capacity for self-leadership, clarity, and conscious decision-making. I am known for my ability to identify the underlying patterns that limit progress and to facilitate meaningful change through subtle yet powerful shifts in awareness. I believe that sustainable transformation arises from deeper self-understanding and presence.
In today’s fast-paced and uncertain environment, many people feel the need to pause, reassess, and realign—seeking greater meaning, balance, and effectiveness in how they live and work.
You may be:
Actively investing in your personal and professional development
Seeking clarity, motivation, or a renewed sense of direction
Wanting to grow in confidence, presence, and impact
Navigating change, transition, or increased responsibility
Looking to manage stress while remaining engaged and effective
I support clients in accessing deeper inner resources, shifting perspective, and translating insight into practical, tangible changes. My approach integrates reflective inquiry, mindfulness, and embodied awareness to support growth that is both grounded and sustainable.
Alongside my work with individuals, I have coached and trained thousands of people internationally across cultures and sectors. I teach mindfulness in large organizations and collaborate with institutions such as the United Nations, CERN, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the University of Cambridge, and the Pasteur Institute—experience that enriches my work with private clients.

Areas of coaching I deal with
Other areas of coaching I deal with
I am an Executive Coach and Facilitator for international organisations, working across Europe, Russia, Africa, and the Middle East. My clients include the UN in Geneva, Cambridge University, CERN, ITER, Société Générale, BNP Paribas, HSBC, Accenture, PWC, Pasteur Institute, and Eurostar.
I help organisations and individuals develop awareness and presence to shift mindsets and behaviours within their ecosystem. By moving from competition to cooperation, I support teams in regenerating energy, engagement, and well-being.
I design and deliver high-impact, bespoke coaching and training programmes tailored to each organisation. I am passionate about human behaviour, capabilities, and helping people push beyond their limitations, primarily coaching at executive and board levels.
My work focuses on the connection between well-being and performance, confidence and achievement, and belief systems and success. I pay close attention to team dynamics and relationships and often mediate successful outcomes in conflict resolution situations.
Whether in one-to-one sessions or group facilitation, I help organisations grow in awareness, effectiveness, and performance. I approach every situation with attentive, gentle sharpness, providing a respectful conduit for meaningful change.
I believe the world is at a turning point, and we are adapting to a new paradigm. Values are shifting, and each of us must find a new balance in life. This is a challenging yet exciting time to be alive, as our awareness and consciousness of who we truly are continues to rise — and with it, the potential for transformation.
