Trauma and Polyvagal Informed Somatic Nervous System Coach & Mindfulness Teacher
About Me
I am a trauma and polyvagal informed life coach, mindfulness teacher, and somatic healer with over 25 years of experience helping individuals heal, regulate their nervous system, restore self-trust, and create lives that feel deeply fulfilling, balanced, and sustainable. To date, I have created over 800 guided meditations, reaching millions of listeners worldwide, and I facilitate private sessions, online programs, and intensive in-person retreats.
My work bridges the gap between advanced neuroscience, somatic healing, and ancient wisdom traditions. I hold advanced certifications in Somatic Attachment Therapy, Somatic Anxiety Therapy, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Intensive Trauma Treatment. My training includes specialized study with leading pioneers in the field, including Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Stephen Porges, Dr. Pat Ogden, Dr. Gabor Maté, MD, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Dr. BG Mancini, Ann Weiser Cornell, and Dr. Frank Anderson, MD.
In addition to my somatic and Polyvagal training, my background includes extensive certifications across life coaching, Systemic Family Constellations with Dr. Mark Wolynn, clinical hypnosis, past life regression with Dr. Brian Weiss, yoga therapy, breathwork, medical Qi Gong, Reiki (Tummo & Usui), extraordinary vessel acupuncture, and more.
My Journey
My commitment to this work is forged in both rigorous training and deep lived experience. I grew up in Paris, France, in a home marked by severe abuse and dysfunction. At 14, I was removed by social services and adopted by the state. Driven to build a secure future, I graduated with honors from Paris IX Dauphine University with an MBA and launched a high-powered career in international finance. By 23, I was earning a six-figure salary working as a Global Internal Audit Director for Citicorp, Visa International, and American Express, managing operations across more than 65 countries.
Yet beneath the polished corporate exterior, I was struggling. Years of unhealed trauma manifested as disordered eating, chronic illness, dissociation, and intense emotional pain. Recognizing that a shift was vital, I stepped away from the corporate world to dedicate myself fully to the science and practice of deep healing.
Through decades of meditation, intensive inner work, and somatic processing, I resolved my chronic health issues and reclaimed my life. Today, I bring this blend of corporate insight, clinical expertise, and lived wisdom to my clients. My mission is to hold a safe, emotionally attuned space for others as they unwind deep survival patterns, reconnect with their innate wholeness, and embody lasting peace and clarity.
Modalities & Approach
My approach integrates trauma and polyvagal-informed nervous system education, somatic awareness, and evidence-based emotional regulation practices to support lasting personal transformation. Rather than focusing on forced symptom suppression, my work emphasizes physiological safety, embodiment, and sustainable change.
Core modalities integrated into my retreats and facilitation process include:
Somatic Trauma Therapies & Polyvagal-Informed Practices: Utilizing Somatic Experiencing principles, somatic attachment work, and Polyvagal Theory to help participants build internal safety, process and complete stuck chronic stress responses, and support nervous system restoration.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)-Informed Approaches: Supporting individuals in identifying, understanding, and integrating protective and wounded emotional parts of the self with compassion.
Mindfulness, Meditation & Breathwork: Drawing from over two decades of contemplative study to utilize breath regulation, yoga therapy, and mindfulness techniques that strengthen presence and emotional flexibility.
Family Constellations & Generational Healing: Exploring intergenerational patterns and relational dynamics that influence current emotional wellbeing, identity, and attachment styles.
Clinical Hypnosis & Subconscious Exploration: Using targeted, gentle regression and relaxation techniques to support behavioral change, processing, and deep-seated insight.
Complementary Mind-Body Practices: Thoughtfully integrating Medical Qi Gong, Reiki, sound healing, and energy-based traditions where appropriate to deepen the mind-body connection and support total systemic relaxation.

Schedule
General Agenda
09:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Arrival, Assessment & Neuroception Exploration
9:30 AM – 10:30 AM: Arrival, Assessment & Neuroception Exploration We begin with a gentle welcome, grounding practices, and a comprehensive nervous system assessment. This time allows you to arrive fully, settle into the space, and connect with what brought you here. We'll explore how neuroception - your body's unconscious surveillance system - scans for threat and safety, establishing the container for deep work by helping your system recognize this space as safe enough for healing. Together we'll set a body-based intention that honors where you are right now.
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Individualized Nervous System Mapping
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM: Polyvagal Theory & Nervous System Mapping An in-depth exploration of how your unique nervous system organizes around safety, threat, and connection. We'll map your autonomic patterns in real time: where do you spend most of your time on the polyvagal ladder? What are your defensive strategies? How do you recognize dysregulation? This is experiential learning grounded in polyvagal theory and stress physiology and tracking your nervous system states in real time.
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Somatic Practices, Gentle Breathwork, and Movement for Self-Regulation
11:30 AM – 12:30 PM: Somatic Practices, Gentle Breathwork, and Movement for Self-Regulation Guided somatic awareness, slow breathwork, and gentle movemen designed to support downregulation, increase internal safety, and build capacity, matched to your current state. Practices may include pendulation, titration, orienting, bilateral stimulation, breathwork specific to your nervous system, and gentle movement. All practices are trauma-informed, choice-based, and paced to honor your body's signals and window of tolerance.
12:30 PM - 01:30 PM
Complimentary Restorative Lunch and Integration Break
12:30 PM – 1:30 PM: Restorative Lunch and Integration Break A nourishing lunch with unstructured time for rest, reflection, and integration. You may choose quiet time, journaling, nature immersion, or gentle conversation, allowing your nervous system to absorb the morning deep work. Healing happens in the time between doing.
01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
Nature-Based Regulation or Personalized Somatic Support
1:30 PM – 2:30 PM: Nature-Based Regulation or Personalized Somatic Support Individualized support tailored to your nervous system’s needs. Choose what your body needs in the moment: nature connection with sensory grounding practices, gentle walking with orienting exercises, or personalized somatic support tailored to your nervous system. All options focus on building capacity for safety and regulation, flexibility, and resilience.
02:30 PM - 03:30 PM
Emotional Attunement and Inner Child Integration
2:30 PM – 3:30 PM: Emotional Attunement & Inner Child Integration A deeper emotional session exploring relational patterns, stored emotional responses, and unmet needs held in the body. We'll work with Internal Family Systems to understand protective parts and begin developing Self-energy, the compassionate observer. This session addresses relational patterns, stored emotional responses, and unmet developmental needs held in the body. The approach is boundaried, consent-based, and focused on self-attunement rather than catharsis and supports loving reconnection with younger parts of yourself in a boundaried, consent-based way.
03:30 PM - 04:00 PM
Individualized Nervous System Mapping and Integration Planning
3:30 PM – 4:00 PM: Nervous System Mapping and Integration Planning Together we'll create your detailed polyvagal map, understanding your specific triggers and glimmers, defensive patterns, stress responses, window of tolerance boundaries, and regulation pathways that work for you. You'll leave with a clear, practical integration plan with personalized practices designed for your daily life, not generic wellness advice.
04:00 PM - 04:30 PM
Closing Reflections & Insights
4:00 PM – 4:30 PM: Closing Reflections & Insights We close with guided reflections, meaning-making, and grounding supporting the consolidation of insights through somatic anchoring. We'll deepen the integration through self-appreciation for the courage it takes to do this work, honor your body's capacity to heal, and prepare for the transition back to daily life with realistic and supportive expectations.
Complimentary Post-Retreat Support
Post-Retreat Support Following the retreat, you will receive your personalized integration plan via email, along with additional resources and guidance to support you in integrating these practices into daily life including a complimentary 15-minute integration session to support your continued practice and integration.
