I now understand that these strategies - the avoidance, the intellectualising, the hyper-vigilance - were not flaws but ways of surviving with the tools available at the time. They are common adaptations when safety, connection, or expression hasn’t felt reliably available.

However, the guard that kept me safe also kept me disconnected, exhausted, and misaligned. Wearing a mask is a heavy weight to carry.

Moving from France 17 years ago was my attempt to break free. What I learned instead was that changing environments doesn’t dissolve internal patterns. We carry them with us. It became clear this wasn’t about finding a solution “out there,” but about turning toward what was inside.

Coming across Kinesiology marked an important turning point in my understanding of healing, not as something led by the mind alone, but as a process that also involves the body. It sparked a slow, intentional process of self-discovery and realignment in many areas of my life. Through this work, I began reconnecting with the parts of myself and my body I had learned to override. 

Today, I work as a fellow traveller. I blend my clinical training with this lived wisdom to help you move past your survival patterns and finally feel at home in your own life.
