Who am I?

I was born in 1967 and grew up in Paris in a bicultural family (American and French). In the 1990s, I trained as an anthropologist and researched Western and Eastern approaches of the body such as Chinese medicine, homeopathy, neuroscience and psychiatry. In this period, I began my own inner journey with the help of Gestaldt and Jungian therapy.
Since 1997, I have been married to a Dutch man and we have two children. In 2000, I moved to Holland, taught philosophy at the University of Amsterdam and worked with artists and museums. In 2002, I came in contact with Core Energetics and in 2005 I decided to study at the new Dutch Institute for core therapists.
In june 2009, I graduated as a certified Core Energetics therapist. By attending master classes and professional workshops, I continue to train in Core Energetics, Bio Energetic Analysis and family constellations. Since September 2011, I also work as an assistant in the Core Energetics training (NICE). My passion is to work with individuals who long for more connection with themselves and with others, and who seek more consciousness in their life. I love to work with couples in crisis and with couples searching for a truer connection with each other. Themes close to my heart are autonomy, attunement, attachment, twins, fulfilment, intimacy, sexuality, relationship.
