Heal and transform from within with ancient and modern tools for change
Coming home to yourself
Transform your relationship with your inner life deeply, release constraints on your path to change, and find yourself at home in your life.
Change deeply with ancient and modern tools
We long for inner change. It is the source of our personal freedom and it brings meaning and happiness to ourselves and our communities.
This approach to inner work effects deep and lasting change. It integrates modern and ancient tools :
- Ancient wisdom and practices from the contemplative traditions of South-East Asia
- Modern research-based tools for inner work such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
If you have a contemplative practice, this work can help you find new depth and meaning in your practice and better integrate your practice, your inner transformation and your daily life.
This work is non-religious and you will benefit whether or not you meditate.

An authentic inner transformation with Internal Family Systems therapy
Internal Family Systems therapy, or IFS for short, is a powerful tool to find healing and change from within. An evidence-based therapeutic modality, IFS offers healing, acceptance and self-understanding.
The work in IFS consists in reconnecting with an authentic sense of presence. From that place we can change our relationship with all the aspects of our rich inner lives: our emotions, attitudes, blockages, patterns, or qualities and strength. With inner work guided by the practitioner, we bring a healing perspective to our inner life, and we can transform the way it shapes our life.
Through this work we reveal a dimension of ourselves which is more open, more integrated, and which reflects our deeper values and qualities. We become more authentically ourselves.
The guidance
I believe that genuine inner work is rooted in our individuality.
This includes our personality, life experiences, and the unique character of the relationships we form with others and the unique ways in which we contribute to our communities.
It is through these personal gifts that we can manifest our deepest capacity for healing, freedom, wisdom and meaningful action.
Is this work a good fit for you ?
People who are drawn to this work are often looking to engage with their inner life more deeply and are drawn to, or have affinities with, contemplative practice whether religious or not. This work can help integrate daily life and inner work with contemplative or spiritual practices and experiences you have had.
This will also be a good fit for individuals who have already worked with IFS, maybe in the course of a psychotherapy, and who wish to continue with deeper integration work that explicitly integrates aspects of their spirituality.
Please note that I do not offer psychotherapy.
FAQ : Frequently asked questions

My guidance style is collaborative and I help my clients develop confidence in their intuitions, and cultivate creativity and autonomy in their lives. I believe these are the catalysts for genuine change. My style has also been described as attentive, precise and reassuring.
Is the guidance religious ?
No, I primarily guide clients in a secular framework. However, this work is open to all and can also respect and fruitfully integrate religious and spiritual practices and beliefs.

I am trained as a practitioner in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy (Level 1 training). IFS is a new tool for inner change that brings healing through self-acceptance and self-compassion. An evidence-based modality for healing traumatic wounds, IFS also opens new doors for deepening our inner journey especially through the many connections it offers with traditional spirituality.
