Curious, passionate, and deeply committed, I love to travel, discover new cultures, and build bridges between people, languages, and worlds. I enjoy sharing knowledge, providing concrete solutions, creating connections, and fostering meaningful relationships.

 

Married and a mother of two young adults, I have personally gone through many life transitions—personal, familial, and cultural. Before settling in Switzerland, I lived in the United States, China, Japan, and Germany. These experiences allowed me to understand firsthand what it means to integrate, learn a language, decipher a culture, and find one's place.

 

Through Nextoyou: Learning French by Living, I have been supporting people from all over the world since 2011 in their relocation to Switzerland, their French language learning, and their understanding of life here. My background in languages and cultures (Master's degree in Sinology and Chinese Culture, University of Geneva), enriched by practical experience, has shaped a holistic, intuitive, and deeply human approach.

 

Enriched by extensive training and the liberating transformations I myself have experienced, and which have benefited my loved ones, my approach to coaching has naturally evolved. Today, I show how to transform difficulties and painful experiences into resources and simple, accessible solutions. This capacity for resilience, confidence, and openness to life is at the heart of what I share.

 

Through the new facet of Nextoyou: Learning by being, I support life transitions with presence, joy, clarity, and kindness. I use systemic coaching methods, family constellations, and rituals .
