Free to Be You

My Story is the Reason I Do This Work.

I’m the daughter of French immigrants; my Parisian-born parents were both ‘hidden children’ Holocaust survivors. Growing up in a family shaped by that kind of intergenerational trauma, I absorbed things I didn’t have words for yet: a nervous system wired for threat, a deep-seated sense of not feeling safe, and a set of beliefs about myself and the world that were never really mine to begin with.

I lived abroad for several years, which was fabulous and eye-opening in equal measure. Travel has a way of stripping away the familiar and showing you who you really are, or more accurately, showing you all the ways you’ve been avoiding it. It was during that time I began to understand that the anxiety, the OCD tendencies, the fear, the shame; these weren’t character flaws. They were signals. My body and my nervous system were trying to tell me something I hadn’t yet learned to hear.

So I got to work. Not overnight. Not in a weekend retreat. Over years of real, honest, deep inner work, the kind that goes into the subconscious, into the nervous system, into the stories running quietly in the background. I learned to regulate what I was feeling instead of running from it. I rewired beliefs I’d been carrying for decades. And I slowly, genuinely reset my identity,not to someone new, but to someone real, the person I’d always been underneath all the noise.

And then, after 37 years of dentistry, I finally stepped into the work I was always meant to do.

“It took me a lifetime of other people’s noisy opinions crowding my thoughts. It takes practice hearing the sound of your own voice.” .

20+ Years of Helping People Change—For Real.

For over two decades, I’ve been working with people from all walks of life: professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, parents, people in transition, people in pain, helping them get unstuck at the deepest level.

My work brings together Nervous System work, Neuroscience Coaching, Hypnotherapy, and Mindset work into one integrated approach: The 3 R’s Method. It’s the framework I wish had existed when I needed it most. And it works because it addresses all three levels where real change actually happens: the nervous system, the subconscious mind, and the identity.

My training and certifications include: Neuroscience Coaching, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Life Coaching (20+ years), Somatic and body-based modalities, Intergenerational trauma.

I’m the author of ‘Sleep, Glorious Sleep’ (Amazon Kindle), was named one of the 17 Best life Coaches in NYC by Expertise.com and was featured in Brainz magazine, podcasts and media nationally. I’ve spoken on stages: at conferences, conventions, for companies and for study and other groups.

A Little More About Me

Beyond the work, I’m a writer, multimedia aritst, mom, stepmom and Meme (French for grandma). Creativity has always been part of how I process and express the world. I’m also an avid traveler (the daughter of French immigrants had no choice to love Paris and Provence and lots of other places), a lover of good food, good conversation, and the kind of honest connection that doesn’t waste time with small talk.

I live in New York City and work virtually with clients from all over the world.

I’m also, still, a work in progress. I think that’s the point.

For the last 20+ years, I’ve not only been partnering with my clients so they learn to regulate and calm their nervous systems but also to transform their unhelpful subconscious thoughts and behaviors, and to help guide them to become the truest version of themselves so they can live and attract the authentic, aligned and successful life and people they’re meant to.

…I’ve also been where you are.

I’ve been that smiling person who looks sunny and successful on the outside yet is quietly suffering inside.

It took me a lifetime of other people’s noisy opinions crowding my thoughts.

It takes practice hearing the sound of your own voice.

You’re in the right place if you’re ready to:

-Lower your Anxiety level, with coaching and hypnosis.

-Change your unhelpful, subconscious limiting beliefs and thoughts by changing your neural pathway patterns to change your habits…. of body, mind and spirit. This moves you forward in a more centered, more positive way.

-Create new habits, routines and use tools that will help you anytime, anywhere…

-Here’s the bottom line. When you change your beliefs, you change your thoughts. Changed thoughts create different emotions, which create new actions, creating new habits which create your new identity, frequency and your new reality. When you change WHO you are. you change what and whom you attract. Like attracts like.

-Gain clarity on your life & career goals.

-Connect with your purpose(s) (your why), passions and priorities and the authentic you.

-Live in a calmer and more balanced way and take charge of your anxiety, reactivity and stress.

-Start hearing the sound of your own inner voice and to recognize those annoying and challenging inner critic or self-sabotaging voices, so you can pivot, make real changes and finally thrive in all areas of your life. Step into your power!

-Build true, inner confidence.

-Learn new, improved mind, body and life habits and routines, to move you forward to your most successful life.

-Learn long-term and long-lasting effective and practical tools to regulate your nervous system, rewire your brain, and reset your identity. This transforms your mind and body, and creates life-long mental, physical & emotional fitness, so you live a more fulfilling life and feel happy to get up and out of bed in the morning.

-Improve your relationships, and make better decisions and choices, both personal and professional. 

You’ll see your mind, brain, body and life transform, while doing the consistent, intentional and transformative inner work.

You're an Original

You’re not a project to be fixed. You are a whole person to be seen.

So much of the world sends us the message that we need to do more, be more, become more, as if who we are right now isn’t quite enough. I want you to know something different.

You arrived in this world complete. Every experience, every struggle, every quiet strength you carry; it all belongs to you. It’s all part of you. And none of it makes you less than whole.

The work we do together isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about helping you to come home to yourself; to the clarity, courage and deep inner wisdom that have always been there, waiting to be heard and felt.

You are enough exactly as you are, in this moment. Not once you’ve achieved something. Right now.

You don’t need fixing. You need support, a safe space and someone who truly sees you and reflects that back.

Your wholeness is your strength. All the parts of you: the tender and the fierce, are the source of your greatest power.
