French-Algerian born and raised in France, my life as a young adult was not as bright as it is today. I experienced depression, struggled with eating disorders, knowing my own self-worth and understand what the He** I was doing here (here meaning...this planet). Even if I have a joyful and strong personality by nature, I was dissatisfied emotionally and professionally on track for a ''noooowhere'' land. Without realizing it, this dissatisfaction led me to very disturbing digestive problems for many yearssss.
Until the day I went through a break up that allowed me to face myself and asking me what was in life that I wanted? What was that I feared so much that would ultimately have a consequence on how I eat and how I feel about myself daily. After graduating from my MBA in International Business travelling the world, a few several failed attempts at corporate jobs and a lot of angst trying to choose just one thing to be in life, I realized that my unusual combination of interests and skills was a strength, not a liability.
I was afraid of becoming MYSELF !
I was also passionate about a multitude of seemingly unconnected things and could not fit in one box #milenialproblems: food, dance, psychology, entrepreneurship, natural healing, spirituality, creativity and woman freedom, just to name a few. But I was motivated for a change. I deserved more and was craving for something higher than being seated in a cubicule 8 hours a day.
A year of full introspection led me to change my life, my beliefs system, and my career.
I had finally find a way
After getting an introduction degree at the IESN (the Quebec's largest school of naturopathy) I knew that I had found finallllly my motivation to wake up every morning: Real food + Healing. As simple as that.
This certificate then got me the impulse to pursue my intuition and integrate the Institute of Integrative Nutrition of New York, one of the most prestigious nutrition school in the world.
Because I did it FOR ME. Starting to believe and love myself has been the best decision of my life so far. Since I made the choice to live by my own rules, all my digestive problems almost disappeared. I understood that our fabulous body is expertly designed for optimal health and wellness and that being in alignment with who I am would ultimately give me more joy, happiness, and clarity.
This is my mission right now to help women to reconnect with themselves, reclaim their body and their lives thanks to mindful eating and wellness for a living.
