Finding the Gold Within

I grew up in Paris and moved to the UK at sixteen. A few years later, a restless sense of longing — for clarity, for peace, for something real — carried me across India, Nepal, and Thailand. There, in my early Buddhist meditation retreats, I caught my first glimpse of what the mind can open into: spaciousness, compassion, and the possibility of deep inner change.

In 2009, after returning from Asia, I met the Tibetan Buddhist master who became my root teacher. His guidance shaped everything that followed. Wanting to understand the world’s spiritual lineages more fully, I spent a year in Israel studying Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, while continuing to explore non-dual and contemplative traditions from India. Over time, what began as curiosity turned into a lifelong path of practice. I’ve now completed more than sixteen years of intensive study, with over a thousand days spent in retreat — including periods of silent, solitary practice — mostly within the Vajrayana and Dzogchen traditions.

Alongside this deep training, I qualified as a psychotherapist through a UKCP-accredited programme in London. My work has always been rooted in transpersonal psychology — the meeting point between Western therapeutic understanding and the spiritual wisdom that has shaped my own life. This approach sees the human being as fundamentally whole, even when we feel anything but. Symptoms become messages. Crises become thresholds. And our most painful patterns often point toward the exact place where something new wants to emerge.

Over the past decade, my path naturally expanded into guiding transformational retreats. These gatherings create the conditions for profound inner work: spacious time away from daily life, careful therapeutic holding, and practices that support people in meeting themselves with honesty and courage. I’ve had the privilege of supporting more than a thousand participants as they move through moments of breakthrough, emotional release, deep insight, and genuine reorientation. Witnessing the human heart reveal itself in these spaces continues to be one of the great honours of my life.

Whether in a retreat setting or in one-to-one therapy, my intention is the same: to offer a warm, grounded, and attuned space where people can unfold at their own rhythm. I see therapy as a deeply human meeting — a place to explore your inner world with clarity and compassion, to make sense of old wounds, to reconnect with what matters, and to rediscover the gold that has always been there.

If my work has taught me anything, it’s that transformation is not a moment but a path. And we walk it one breath, one truth, one act of kindness at a time.
