The Why
Maison Calme was created during my first year of motherhood. The name always brings me back to peace, calme, and makes me imagine this little calm house that is me, where I can just be, breathe, and reconnect.
Since I can remember, I have struggled to lead a life that is aligned with what I actually needed. I tried to fit into many roles, forms, routines, and ways of doing things. My body spoke first. Through chronic sinusitis, menstrual challenges, sleep issues, disordered eating, and way more, I guess my body was always telling me: Hey dear, I love you. That’s not working for us. Please listen and readjust. I need you to be present. And finally, I did.
It evolved not only personally, but also enriched my professional world on so many levels. My clients are growing with me as I am growing with them. Coming from a performance, mental, and driven background, I was able to bring the needed softness and, most importantly, the body aspect with it.
Today, I create many different kinds of work, all with one goal — helping human beings to be seen, heard, and witnessed in whatever they are going through or wherever they want to go. I help them reconnect to their inner voice, somatically and mentally. There is no one-size-fits-all. There is your pace and my guidance, wherever you are at in your life.
