Going through a hard time without being alone

I listen with full presence and help you find a calmer and clearer everyday life.

Sometimes life makes us lose our footing ; a separation, a divorce, a job loss, grief, loneliness, the feeling of being stuck. I offer you a space to speak freely, catch your breath, and gradually find a new balance, with concrete steps adapted to your situation.

About

Twenty years of human experience, several tools to support you

Feeling genuinely heard can already make a big difference. People often tell me I'm easy to confide in, that my presence reassures, and that in difficult moments I help bring back calm and clarity.

More than 20 years in marketing and communication, project management and team leadership. ICF-standard coaching certification, complemented by training in NLP, EFT, Reiki and mediation. Above all, the habit of turning chaos into a plan of action, for others as for myself.

I see myself as a companion. Not an expert who knows in your place, but a reliable presence through the passage. I offer you a space to set down what weighs heavy, I listen to you truly, and I help you see clearly what your first new steps might be. And if you need concrete help to take them (sorting, applying for jobs, organizing, negotiating, communicating well), I'm here for that too.

Personal development has been a long-standing passion. I've tested many approaches on myself, from breathwork to NLP to Reiki, before sharing them with anyone. This curiosity gives me several tools to respond to what you're going through, rather than a single fixed approach.

Who I help

For anyone going through a period of transition or personal upheaval

When part of life changes abruptly, it can become hard to know how to move forward alone. If you recognize yourself in one of these situations, we can talk.

A separation or a divorce

You need a quiet space to put down what you're going through, find a bit of stability, and gradually rebuild a new balance.

A burnout or deep exhaustion

Everything has become too heavy, too blurred, or too demanding. You're looking to find your breath again, your sense of meaning, and a more aligned way to move forward.

A job loss or career change

You're trying to find a direction again, without being crushed by pressure, expectations, or the feeling of urgency.

Grief or a significant loss

You're going through an empty, unstable, or hard to express period. You need a human space to move forward at your own rhythm.

Empty nest or a major life change

One chapter ends, and you're looking to give meaning to what comes next, more freely and more serenely.

When everything piles up at once

Personal life, work, mental fatigue, loneliness, daily organization… You need to find some clarity, an anchor, and simpler priorities.

Toolbox

Several tools at your disposal

Everyone goes through things differently. Depending on what you're living and what helps you most, I draw on several complementary approaches. Coaching remains the foundation of the support. The tools come in as backup, when it's relevant and useful for your situation.

NLP

Reframing, mobilizing internal resources, unlocking the levers that still hold.

EFT (tapping)

Regulating an acute emotion in the moment. Anxiety, a wave of sadness, anger that overflows.

Reiki

Energetic support when the mind alone is no longer enough to soothe the body.

Mediation

Trying to repair the relationship or the situation before the break, when it's still possible.

Communication and personal marketing

Communicating well with an ex, a boss, your children. Repositioning yourself on LinkedIn after a burnout, rebuilding your professional image after a career change.

I listen, and I help you take action.
