I help you release stress and overwhelm and find your way home, back to your true authentic self.

Here you can read my full story. I hope it will inspire you and show you what is possible as you embark on your own journey.

My story

I spent a big part of my life looking for myself, for who I was. Growing up, I learned that expressing my true self wasn’t safe — it would result in being shut down, shouted at, criticised.

There was also the repeated messages: “there is not enough for us”, “we are less than…”, "the world is a dangerous place so better keep safe", which became my thoughts and beliefs. As I result I disconnected. I built a wall around me, subconsciously trying to anticipate others’ expectations to keep the peace.

This made me overly analytical, defensive, and constantly on high alert.

I became split—I portrayed a strong, confident exterior, but inside I was filled with worry and anxiety.

Most importantly, I had no real sense of who I was (although I was not really aware of this).

Like many of us, I was told how to think, behave, and what to study to secure a “good” job.
I spent years pursuing goals that, looking back, weren’t truly aligned with who I am.

I DROPPED EVERYTHING AND FLEW TO AUSTRALIA

Fast forward few years. I graduated as a "Doctor in Pharmaceutical science". I landed a well-paid job, I had “made it” according to society's standards.

All my friends were settling down—finding jobs, building houses, thinking about kids.

I could see my path laid out ahead of me, but inside, the turmoil only grew louder.

I felt imprisoned, suffocated, empty, and disconnected.

Surely there was something more to life?

My soul craved freedom. I had to break free.

So, I left France and flew as far away as I could—landing in Sydney, Australia. That move became for many changes.

Rebuilding my life—learning a new language, finding new friends, starting a new career—made me realise how deeply we’re shaped by conditioning.

We live inside facades, carrying labels that don’t reflect who we truly are. To truly know ourselves, we must first unlearn everything.

Although physically I was far away from my old life, it didn’t really solve anything. I had brought my ghosts with me. I had no keys…so I started looking for answers.

THAT'S WHEN MY HEALING JOURNEY BEGAN...

Over the years, I enrolled in various courses—each one offering a piece of the puzzle. What I started to notice was this: I was consistently drawn to teachings that went beyond the mind. They invited me to slow down, feel, and tune in my body.

Then I stumbled upon a weekend introduction to kinesiology. What struck me wasn’t just the techniques—it was the philosophy. The view of the body as intelligent, interconnected, and holding emotional memory. The idea that symptoms are messengers, not mistakes.

Even with my pharmaceutical background—trained to see the body very clinically— this view resonated deeply, something in me just knew: “There’s truth here.”

That weekend, something in me stirred and I decide to enrol in the full training. That’s when things really began to shift. The practice sessions we did on each other started to crack me open. They illuminated the persona I had built: the need to appear "'strong'', the overachiever and perfectionist trying to avoid criticism at all costs. I realised how much I relied on intellectualising and staying busy as ways to avoid feeling vulnerable or anxious.I remember a course a practitioner saying to me, “You are too much in your head, come to your heart.”Honestly—I didn’t get it. ''What do you mean my heart?'' But they were so right. That sentence stayed with me. Now I really understand all the layers of this.

While setting up as a kinesiologist felt like a natural next step from here and marked a pivotal chapter in my healing and life, it hasn’t been without hiccups and has brought many more lessons along the way.

MY BIGGEST TAKE AWAYS...

This journey transformed how I see myself and how I show up in the world—more grounded, authentic, and connected to my truth.

I finally feel at home within myself. My body guides me toward what feels expansive, rather than relying solely on my mind.

reconnected with parts of myself I had long neglected — the vulnerable, scared, and tender aspects that I had buried beneath layers of distraction and coping.

I learned how to reparent those parts with kindness and safety, and developed tools to befriend my fears instead of running from them.

I still have bad days, face disappointments and uncertainties—these are simply part of being human.

I’ve learned to approach challenges with acceptance and resilience, seeing them as opportunities for growth.

Feeling through these experiences, rather than avoiding them, helps me stay connected to my true self and maintain inner peace. For me, this journey is really about finding balance.

Because balance can be fragile and easily lost
, I don’t promise a “forever happy” ending—that’s a myth from movies and marketing hype.

Instead, my role is to share tools, help you process emotions and gain awareness so you can find your way back to balance whenever you need it.

Remember, healing isn’t about perfection or a final destination—it’s about showing up for yourself, day by day, with courage and kindness.

Sometimes, it takes a significant wake-up call—like disease, burnout, or job loss—for us to start looking within. However, we don't have to wait for such events to begin our journey of self-discovery and healing.

You have the power right now to choose a different path—one where you listen to your inner voice, honour your needs, and embrace your true self.

If you’ve made it this far and this message resonates, I would love to connect. 

Let's discover what’s holding you back and gently find your way to a freer, more balanced you.

Love Notes

“Aurelie is amazing! I was feeling slightly lost in my emotions and in a short period of time she was able to help me clear a pathway to happiness and contentment. Her combination of techniques works brilliantly. I certainly recommend her to anyone needing to gain more clarity in their lives so they can live a more ‘in-tune’ lifestyle.

“As someone who suffers from a highly critical mindset i am very keen to develop an ability to listen to my heart more. This is the groundwork that we have been working on and i feel that in just 4 sessions we have covered more that i have in 25+ psychology appointments. I have found it very easy to talk to Aurelie and open myself up to what is a new experience. I have been talking to many people at work about my sessions and would highly recommend to others. Thanks Aurelie!
