About

A tireless seeker of the good in people and relationships. By training, I am a social pedagogue and have further specialized as a certified coach, reality therapy counsellor, and medical hypnosis therapist. For nearly 20 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and families. I spent 12 years teaching in primary school and led a prevention project in Los Angeles focused on the psychosocial development of children. I have developed my own boutique camps and workshops on social skills for teenage girls. I believe in a holistic approach that considers both the individual and their environment, as well as in the power of personal choice.
