Why Choose Me?
8 years of teaching experience
My background in education allows me to adapt to my audience and to bring clarity, structure, and genuine pedagogy to my work.
Grief Specialist
Trained in current grief theory and its evolving understanding, I recognize outdated practices in grief accompaniment and help bring them into a more humane, living framework.
Transgenerational Approach
My training in transgenerational analysis deepens and enriches my understanding of grief and the ways it is carried across generations.
Collective spaces to speak, breathe, and reconnect with life
Beyond individual accompaniment, I facilitate and co-create collective spaces where we can speak openly about grief, death, and life transitions.
These gatherings offer a chance to restore dialogue, release taboos, and give voice and meaning to experiences often silenced.
Each workshop or circle is a living space — a space to breathe, to share, and to reconnect the experience of loss with the movement of life.
Grief Cafés
Speaking about grief differently
The Grief Cafés are warm, safe gatherings where anyone can come to share their experience of loss, ask questions, or simply listen.
They can be organized in partnership with funeral homes, associations, or institutions wishing to open spaces for dialogue and care.
Purpose: to bring connection, meaning, and humanity back into an experience too often lived in silence.
A cup of coffee, a shared story, and a breath of life returning.
“Cafés Traversées” or « Pathway Cafés »
In collaboration with Marion Bienvenu, Sophrologist
Born from a meeting between sophrology and Aliveness Therapy, the Cafés Traversées are collective spaces where body, breath, and word come together.
Co-facilitated with Marion Bienvenu, these circles explore the passages of life — loss, transition, and transformation.
Each session combines gentle movement, embodied presence, and shared reflection, to help participants navigate what they are living through with greater awareness and connection.
Themes may include:
navigating grief or separation,
welcoming change and transition,
reconnecting with one’s inner vitality after a difficult period.
« Apéros de la Mort » or « Death Aperitifs » – Happy End
Speaking about death to better speak about life
As an Ambassador for the association Happy End, I facilitate Death Aperitifs in the city of Tours — friendly, open gatherings where we can speak about death with simplicity, humour, and depth.
These conversations invite us to look at death differently — not as something to fear, but as a natural part of life that deserves its place in our collective consciousness.
Because speaking of death often helps us rediscover the taste for life.
Awareness Workshops
Bringing understanding, meaning, and humanity back to grief and end-of-life conversations
These workshops are designed for senior residences, nursing homes, and care teams wishing to open dialogue and reflect on grief, loss, and end-of-life with care and sensitivity.
Examples of formats:
Advance Directives Workshop — reflecting on end-of-life choices in a conscious, peaceful way.
Common Misconceptions about Grief — exploring clichés and well-meaning mistakes that can harm, to cultivate better understanding.
Finding the Right Words — learning to listen, welcome, and respond with presence and respect.
Each workshop blends sharing, theoretical insight, and symbolic tools to help participants grow a culture of empathy and presence.
