My story
In my previous life, before coaching, I was an executive for large international corporations in the fashion industry. I worked in Paris, France, and in New York, and traveled the world looking for ideas and suppliers. The job needed good communication skills, creativity, and initiative. I especially enjoyed working globally with people from different cultures. I had to adapt to their ways of working and found it fascinating.
My professional life and interests changed when I had my children. When they were diagnosed with ADHD, I looked for ways to help them learn differently. I read many books on neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and learning and the brain. I understood that we can learn using different parts of our brain, create new habits by developing new neural pathways, and so create lasting change. I could now see possibilities and opportunities. Learning became fun and holistic.
Years later, I remembered these lessons and used them to get through stressful times. After this chapter of my life, I was determined to learn the science behind it all.
What helped me become so resilient?
I asked myself: why was I resilient? What did I do right? What happened in my body and my mind? And most of all, how can I help others do the same?
Resilience and wellness became my passion and my purpose. I went back to school and earned a master’s degree and a PhD in Mind and Body Medicine, learning more about resilience and how it affects the mind and the body.
After all this personal experience and research, I know how to help you increase your resilience and live a healthier and more purposeful life.
