the unfolding

My journey with mindfulness began early. As a child navigating anxiety and the fear of going to school, I was introduced to meditation — a simple practice that helped me return to presence whenever things felt overwhelming. Around me, emotions were openly part of everyday life. Growing up alongside a professional athlete meant having many conversations about feelings and resilience, shaping how I began relating to awareness and my inner world.

Eventually life pulled me toward the societal expectations of career and achievement. I spent over a decade working in strategy consulting within international teams, living and working between cities like Montreal, New York, Madrid, Milan, and Berlin, often drawn toward projects connected to impact, lifestyle, and wellness. For years I moved quickly through that world — driven, constantly in motion, living in a kind of autopilot, until a chronic autoimmune condition emerged, a reminder from the body that something deeper was asking for attention.

Through an ongoing healing journey, I came to realize that something essential was missing from my life — a deeper sense of purpose, a more intentional way of living. I began exploring mindfulness spaces again, deepening into my path as a somatic practitioner and yoga instructor, seeking the experience itself — the atmosphere, the setting, and the ability to slow down and reconnect — something I now try to bring into everything I create.
