« The Earth teaches us more about ourselves than all the books.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Have you had early experiences so impactful that they shaped your entire path ?

I was born in the south of France and raised in the countryside, on a farm. Nature was my first refuge and my first teacher. One of my earliest memories is sitting by a pond, sensing the Breath of Life infusing everything around me.

Around the age of ten, another profound experience marked my path. In the garden, I saw the Earth open before me, revealing that she was holding humanity in her womb, taking care of their suffering. I then felt the impulse to help heal this humanity, of which I was a part. Only later did I understand the deeper message of the Earth, that became part of my work.

Since then, it seems she has been teaching me—through my own lived experience—what supports life and what cuts it off.

What is your relationship with the land where you were born ?
When we left France to move to Holland, I experienced uprooting in a deeply painful way. Being separated from my land of birth, from nature, part of my family, and my native culture created a profound loss of meaning, along with physical symptoms. In shamanic terms, this uprooting had led to what is known as soul loss.

Over time, through a specific meditation practice, I was able to feel like myself again—yet a deep longing for the South of France remained.

I then began the medical studies I had long dreamed of. Yet I was disappointed by the fragmented way illness was approached. I longed for a more holistic vision—one that includes the inner dimension, the connection to life, and each person’s place in the world.

I traveled to the United States to explore alternative approaches to healing, and I discovered shamanism with Michael Harner. Through the journeying method he taught, an entirely new perspective opened for me—a deeper awareness of what lies beneath the visible surface and of the interconnectedness of all things. I learned a direct way of communicating with nature, one that offered practical guidance for healing a wide range of conditions. This was part of the systemic approach I had been looking for...

Note: Shamanic journeying is an ancestral practice used by Indigenous peoples across the world to enter into dialogue with the Living Web. It involves traveling through different fields of consciousness—often referred to as the “other worlds”—to seek guidance to remain in harmony with life. This process typically takes place in an altered state of consciousness, often induced by drumming. Michael Harner, a world-renowned professor of anthropology, reintroduced this methodology to the modern world, where it had largely been forgotten.

I finally returned to the south of France, where I developed a mind–body approach that listens to the soul through the body’s symptoms to restore inner alignment. During sessions, spirits and nature’s resources often came in to contribute, bringing a broader vision of the whole system involved. Their interventions proved more effective than my own tools, as they addressed the true root causes and the underlying terrain of the issue.

Among other things, they showed me that restoring the connection between body and soul also requires restoring one’s roots—the connection with the Earth. She nourishes the breath of Life and welcomes human beings as they are, with both their wounds and their soul’s impulse, and their place and work in the world.

This is how the Shamanic Approach to Therapy ACT was born—a living medicine that reconnects all dimensions of life.

In my practice, I guided clients to restore harmony between their body and their soul. Then a new need often emerged: to live their true nature in the world—in relationships, creativity, and in their work. Yet many organizations left little room for the creative expression of their talents.

I then began to receive shamanic teachings from the Intelligence that underlies professional systems—the Spirit of Enterprises. Read : Meeting the Spirit of Enterprizes

I was able to apply these approaches directly for clients and their enterprises, achieving striking results across a wide range of challenges. (See the consulting page.)

Since then, I have looked at enterprises and professions differently—through their Spirit. When that Spirit awakens, creativity and purpose flow again, and work regains its true meaning.

To make this approach visible to professionals, I trained in organizational systems constellations at the Hellinger Instituut. I then expanded this approach in the trainings I developed for project leaders, integrating the Spirit of enterprises and the missing resources of nature.
