I have lived the most significant years of my life abroad which made me sensitive to other cultures and other civilizations. Between the age of 11 and 15 in order to attend an internationally recognized institution I had to stay in a catholic boarding school; surrounded by people speaking a language I did not know at that time. Due to these circumstances other communication means and skills had to be engaged to make myself understand or to understand my friends and teachers.
I believe it is then, at that early age that I started paying attention to nuances, body language, ton of voice, facial expression. To survive I needed to communicate, to find reliable friends, and to integrate in that community of young catholic girls and their nun teachers; so far away from my home country and my parents.
It was frightening and difficult but it taught me to read people when I was even not aware of what I was doing. Today this skill is a great asset and a valuable tool in the coaching work with my clients.
Then at some point in my life I started feeling that “metro, boulot, dodo” i.e. going to work and back, sleeping and doing the same the next day wasn’t enough. Synchronicity brought me to my first energy healing school in the tradition of Barbara Brennan where after a 4 year education I became an integrative energy therapist. But it was just the beginning.
Energy Psychology, EFT and the Energy Coach Institute followed and energy work became my way of living.
Presence is healing, said Lao Tzu, in his book the Tao Te Ching. Presence is healing indeed and so is listening. These are the pillars of my therapy philosophy; being present, listen and tune into my client - this is where the healing already starts.
When the time is right for the client, I share my energy tools with them one by one and every time another might be applied, the one that is serving my client the best in a particular session.
I see the interaction during the session as a partnership of equals.
As Dr. Wayne Dyer, one of my favorite authors once said “We are like houses with many coats of paint over us” and our real self, our authentic self is buried underneath them.
I have started bringing my own authenticity to light; I feel my mission is to help my clients do the same.
Diverse fears, especially the fear of public speaking, fear of failure and success, and anxiety are the ones I specialized in as I believe those are a huge impediment to our growth and our state of authenticity.
In my prayers I have asked for clients who can benefit from my work and who are able to honestly look at their lives and take responsibility, who are willing to actively participate in the process, and for the ones with a sense of humor and a willingness to grow.
