ABOUT

My own turning point came in 2008 when my mother died. I was managing a luxury store in Mayfair, good at my work, but using my skills to build other people's businesses rather than my own life. I instantly felt how short life was and the need to find meaning.

So I left, went to India, and spent the next few years following the things that had always mattered to me: yoga, cooking, creativity — without yet knowing where they were leading.

They led me to France, to the house my mother had bought for her own retirement dream. I moved there in 2013 and spent the next decade building a life from scratch: creating Little French Retreat, hosting retreats, teaching yoga, studying Ayurveda, training as a coach, returning to pottery. It was slow, uncertain, and felt right.

What I learned in that unfolding is what I bring to my work. That change rarely arrives with a clear map. That the body knows things before the mind catches up. That nourishment, meaning the right food, the right rhythm, the right quality of attention, changes everything.

I also learned the value of a quiet life. Years of rural living, daily practice, cooking, making and moving with the seasons have given me a steady, unhurried quality of attention that I bring to every client. In that quiet I hear my own intuition clearly, and I've learned to listen for what's underneath in others, before it's been said.

And that a life built from the inside out is a life you can actually inhabit.

If you are a woman at one of those moments, accomplished but questioning, seeking not just a new direction but a truer one, this is the work I do. I offer one-to-one coaching, online yoga, Ayurvedic food consultations and in-person retreats in France.

I also work as a potter and maker, and this creative practice shapes everything I do: how I coach, how I teach, how I think about transition. Making things asks for a particular mindset: to be continuously in and out of a process, to hold the outcome lightly, and to leave space for the work to speak for itself.
