I am a French native, born in France, from Spanish descent, and raised In Reunion island and in West Africa —a childhood and youth that deeply shaped my cross-cultural perspective.

Following a BA in Political Science with a focus on Anthropology and International Relations, alongside a Master's in French Public Law, I made a pivotal shift into the cultural and artistic landscape. I began my career in contemporary art and dance—first assisting the Communications Manager for the French Biennale of Contemporary Art, and later supervising the administration of a European Union–funded cultural initiative designed to nurture choreographers and dancers across the Mediterranean region. During this time, I also co-authored the exhibition catalog for the Lyon Biennale of Dance, Mediterranea.

Driven by a fascination with the intersection of creativity, design, and brand strategy, I pursued an MBA with a concentration in Brand Management. My thesis explored the phenomenon of brand tattoos—examining themes of belonging, distinction, and tribal identity through the sociological and anthropological lenses.

I then entered the advertising and brand agency world and developed my skills over 20 years as a creative and cultural strategist —joining Ogilvy & Mather in Paris before moving to Carré Noir, the flagship design agency of Publicis. There, I led consumer and design trend intelligence before joining the TBWA Group, drawn by their pioneering "Disruption" methodology.

For more than two decades, I have pursued a parallel path of self-inquiry, exploring Jungian and depth psychology before turning toward the experiential worlds of yoga and conscious movement. I have studied with teachers across Europe, Asia, India, and the American Southwest, immersing myself in diverse yoga traditions and shamanic practices.

My yoga master teachers are:

Danny Paradise (Ashtanga yoga), Cat de Rham (Iyengar yoga), Annie Carpenter ( SmartFlow© Vinyasa), and Biff Mithoefer (Yin Yoga).

A Vision Quest in the high desert of Arizona in 2012 marked a turning point. The encounter deepened my relationship with the natural world and set me on a new course, eventually bringing me to the United States to continue my exploration of embodied and expressive arts. The desert became more than a landscape; it became a place of inquiry, where the familiar structures of identity could loosen and different ways of knowing could emerge.

Drawn to the intersection of somatic, expressive arts, and deep nature connection, I am currently completing the three-year professional training program at the Tamalpa Institute in California, the internationally recognized training center for movement-based expressive arts therapy, where I study the Life/Art Process®—the revolutionary approach developed by postmodern dance and movement-based art therapy pioneers Anna and Daria Halprin.
