After a successful social and intense corporate business life, I realized that I was somehow ‘empty’. I felt a deep challenge to find myself and to know who I am.
I confused a need of deep internal transformation with professional reconversion, and that led me to search continuously for solutions in the wrong place. I wanted more degrees and I even did several “personal development programs” but without any internal engagement (work on myself) nor integration. I was just “collecting” methods. Time passed and I was still facing this deep emptyness.
I was lost, for a long time.
I took time to accept it, but then, I was both sad … and relieved.
During my 40’s, I started meditation, reconnected with dance, did several readings, started being in contact with enlightening people, relaunched my therapy, took body-oriented therapies studies, I needed time to work on myself, to reconnect with my body, my emotions, and observe myself … It was the switch to start a new path.
This was my walk during years. All these practices enriched my life, the transformation process was doing its work.
But why my desire to accompany others?
Being aware of my prejudices, fears, angriness, mistakes, joy, desires as well as my way of managing relationships; allowed me to take distance from all these filters and listen to the others in a different, qualitative, conscious way, mitigating my judgements.
I started to share my practices, ongoing learnings and experiences with others until I realized that I was spending most of my time giving space to my inner voice: accompanying the personal development of others.
What I was doing with pleasure, became nowadays my work.
