This new start led me to redefine how I wanted to work and with whom. It invited me to connect authentically with people, to listen attentively, to serve with pure intention, to value questions as much as answers, and to act with my heart rather than just my head. This was a way for me to be the change I wanted to see in the world, as Gandhi put it, and to embody the learnings.

I have always loved learning and studying. So it was a tremendous privilege to fully immerse myself in a life-changing program to learn about the art and science of ontological coaching at Newfield Networks, in Colorado, a renowned educational institution in the field of leadership coaching and transformational learning.

This led to becoming a certified coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and a certified facilitator of Henry Mintzberg’s CoachingOurselves program. Today, with those certifications, an MBA, diplomas in leadership development, and a Bachelor’s degree in communications in hand, I still continue to perfect my skills and competencies by committing to my learning and development. More than ever, I am guided by the conviction that each of us can mobilize our own power to live a rich and fulfilling life whatever our age.

In my commitment to deepening my practice and being of greater service and value, I also received training in somatic coaching, social and emotional intelligence, mindfulness, meditation, and most recently, in breath work (Neurodynamic Breathwork) and in healing of collective and ancestral trauma.

I’m also furthering my studies on life, death, bereavement and what death can teach us about living fully. Finally, I understand that when you commit to being a student of life, you are a student FOR LIFE.
