I’m happy...to meet you!
A quick peek at my background : born and raised in Belgium, I love chocolate, hate beer, and speak French with a Canadian accent (so say the French).
My father was absolutely convinced, he’d have a boy and raised me accordingly. Hence, I became a gliding pilote at age fifteen, although, I was too short and too light to do so. This eventually led me to the comfortable sofa of a therapist. And the idea, that one day, I would be in her seat.
I managed to successfully get a Master of Science in Mass Communication, at Boston University. Immediately after I started working for global companies in packaging design. Today I work as a strategic transformation catalyst.
My son, Noah was born at the turn of the millenium. We quickly discovered he was on the autism spectrum and thus the journey to support him and us started. As years went by, I enrolled in various programs to become a coach and Arts therapist (see list below). The first aim was to help myself and my family.
Today, I am here to help you become serene and find a fulfilling life.
I am a Fellow of The Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA).
Member of the European & Belgian Associations of Transactional Analysis (EATA & ASSOBAT)
