I can also create a built-to-spec wellness programs for your special events here or abroad.
I offer you over 30 years of training, and my personal "10 000" teaching and consulting hours spent improving the physical, mental and emotional registries we as humans experience.

Love Story for the Nervous System. Chapter 24. « We can all feel thrown off center sometimes. Too much time in front of the computer, a to-do list that never seems to dwindle. A punch that comes out of left field. A bill you weren’t expecting. Whatever it is you didn’t see coming can send you into a tail spin, into trauma response, into drift mode. When you notice that you’re not feeling like yourself, that you feel foggy or disoriented, try this simple practice for grounding . It’s not a mental practice, but a physical one. Notice where you are in space. What is around you? What are you feeling? What are you not feeling? Where is that happening in the body. Coming back to your breath, slowing it down, making it deliberate and conscious is a simple, accessible tool for regulating your nervous system and getting you back home safe and sound. »

Histoire d’Amour pour le système nerveux. Épisode 23. «J’aime quand tu souris,
Quand ta bouche glisse en arrière,
tes yeux s’adoucissent,
tout ton visage s’illumine,
Et devient une lettre d’amour vivante et émouvante.
Quand tu souris, je souris en retour. La vulnérabilité n’est pas une faiblesse ou un défaut.
C’est l’expérience d’être humain.
La condition humaine exige un engagement social.
Aimer et être aimé, se sentir en sécurité en présence d’un autre
C’est le risque que nous prenons à travers la porte de notre moi non protégé.
Pour la connexion que nous recherchons.» #nervoussystem #menthalhealth #meditation #transpersonalcoaching #yogateacher #stbarth #bodyandmind #mentalhealthbeautykitcare #nervoussystemregulation #healingenergy #saintbarthelemy

Histoire d’Amour pour le Système Nerveux. Chapitre 22. Lorsqu ‘une graine sort de sa coquille, dépasse son contenant,
Quand elle fait son chemin à travers la Terre, la Gravité, l’Obscurité
Sait-elle où elle va ? Ou va-t-elle, tout simplement ?
Est-ce qu’elle va parce c’est l’heure ?
Va-t-elle parce qu’elle reçoit une incitation de l’intérieur ?
Par ennui ? Ou un besoin de changement ?
Il y a une orientation.
Il y a un chemin.
Les bébés le suivent instinctivement.
Réclamez l’innocence de votre curiosité intérieure et extérieure
Pour la vie s’exprimant dans votre propre dénouement. #polyvagaltheory

Histoire d’Amour pour le Système Nerveux. Chapitre 21
Bonne Année à vous tous!
Si vous définissez vos résolutions du Nouvel An, essayez cet exercice :
Imaginez-vous à la fin de 2023, repensant à l’année que vous venez de vivre et à tout ce que vous avez pu accomplir. Quelles décisions et actions vous ont aidé à atteindre vos objectifs et vos rêves ? Quelles étaient les ressources et les outils dont vous aviez besoin pour les réaliser ?
L’avez-vous fait seul ou avez-vous eu besoin d’aide? Maintenant que vous avez atteint de manière créative le succès dont vous rêviez pour la paix, l’amour, la santé pétillante, la prospérité et les projets que vous vouliez manifester, utilisez la vibration de ce sentiment pour créer votre plan. #2023andme

« Pour les fêtes, je te souhaite plus de « sauvage »,
Le Sauvage de Toi
Le Sauvage qui s’arrête pour une tortue, un poème, une chanson, un ami, une révélation,
qui cherche les étoiles filantes et les orages
Qui Joue avec les vagues
Et dit bonjour au soleil
Je te souhaite l’incroyable beauté de tes rêves les plus fous devenus réalité.
Car se sont ses rêves sauvages venus de l’âme qui nous gardent authentiques et droit dans nos bottes.
Je vous souhaite un Amour qui pousse dans la nature, la joie qui s’éclate en mille morceaux pour illuminer vos yeux, votre visage, votre chemin, une joie trop grande, trop belle, trop sauvage pour être contenue. »

Love Story for the Nervous System. Chapter 19. Do you remember the childhood tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? At its essence, it explored balance, and for the 3 bears in question, they all had different individual readings for what felt good. Think of it like the sweet spot on a tennis racket. It’s that place where the ball and the racket, the racket and the player connect. When that connection occurs, the stroke that follows is smooth, effective and satisfying. In situations where you are feeling overloaded, and you are over-stimulated, bring things down on a notch. When you feel listless, it’s time to up stimulate with curiosity, creativity and often, the presence of others . Learning to self-regulate your nervous system has an effect on your psychology and your emotions. It is a self-care tool of immeasurable and lasting value. Notice what you are feeling, when you are feeling it, or even, sometimes, that you’ve blanked out and gone numb. It will let you know what is too much, what is too little and what is just right. Find your sweet spot, Sweetie, it’s there somewhere…

Using water noodles as flotation supports, we work through a range of asana-infused movements. Water resistance & locomotion in a low-gravity
environment provides a joint
friendly cardiovascular workout in the great outdoors. The water element helps us target and improve micro
circulation, combat cellulite
and sculpt and tone muscles as stretching out the myofascial layers.
Meet up in your bathing suit & wear adequate sun protection. Safe for all levels, you can dial the resistance up or down as you need. Hats, sunglasses, goggles are all helpful additions. #aquayogaclass #aquayogatherapy #yogapractice #yogaeveryday #bodypositivemovement #outdoorclass #wellness #watertherapy #stbarth

For the American-Ecuadorian and recently naturalized French woman that I am, Thanksgiving reminds me that I have lived outside of the USA longer than I have lived in it.
Over the years, I have whittled down the holiday to this. Good food, good wine, family and friends and the time to reflect on the people, the relationships, the blessings in my life for which I am constantly grateful.
I celebrate the practice of gratitude, with or without gravy, vegan or fowled, alone or with others. The art of any good self care contains the regular and consistent practice of gratitude.
Exercising the gratitude muscle strengthens the girders of life, makes all the fascia of our life webs slide and glide, keeps us humble, keeps us holy, keeps us looking for the hundreds of miracles that appear alongside the hundreds of challenges that life brings. Sourcing miracles, blessings is more interesting than hunting for truffles. I use my inner map to trace one good act, one kind word to its genesis and marvel at how one event, one meeting connects to another and yet another....
So, when I tell you that I am grateful for you, that I appreciate you and who you are and what you do , I am only the tip of the iceberg. Gratitude doesn’t start or end with me or you. You’d have to go way back to hear the voices of my ancestors and my family tree all whispering the teachings, all flexing the muscle, all practicing the gratitude that emanates from me today. In appreciating you, I am thanking your ancestors, too. We are all related. May You all Have a Wonderfull DaY 🎈#practicegratitude #givingthanks #appreciatinglife #appreciatingaddsvalue #meditation
