ASCA THERAPIST & CERTIFIED LIFE COACH · Nyon & Geneva

Stress is not your enemy, 
it is a signal.

Pressure, impasse, momentum to recover: in person, walking, on retreat or online.

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF...

You demand clarity, mastery, and impact

Clarity on what is truly costing you. Mastery of your physiological and mental levers. Measurable impact in decision-making and in life.

A method built on what truly drives human behavior under pressure: — physiology, decision-making, and language. Not surface-level motivation.

Stress & Burnout

​Chronic stress, mental overload, emotional exhaustion. Rebuild your foundation and develop the resilience to perform over time.

Performance & Confidence

Self-belief, mental readiness, powerful communication. Stop overthinking: start acting with conviction.

Purpose & Transition

Life transition, career change, directional clarity. Navigate uncertainty with method.

WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS

I didn’t study stress.

I lived it.

25 years on trading floors. 250 km across the desert in semi-self-sufficiency. 160 km through the jungles of Réunion in 45 hours. Three continents experienced from the inside.

​​

Then I went back to school: stress physiology, therapeutic frameworks, ASCA Therapist and Certified Life Coach credentials. To turn that lived experience into structured clinical practice.

CREDENTIALS

"I deliberately chose high-pressure environments to understand what stress does to a human being. How it accelerates, paralyzes, reveals. How it can be used rather than endured.”
