I have always been drawn to exploring the human being — their impulses, silences, and inner and bodily movements. A living, vibrant inquiry that pulses within me. For ten years, I worked as a specialized educator alongside people experiencing psychological distress. 
Over time, another call became clearer: the moving body, and dance as a language of life and a way of accompanying others. I came to trust the intelligence of the body as a guide and a pathway toward well-being. Body and mind, for me, are deeply intertwined. Somatic practices became central in my journey, leading me in 2011 to complete a Master’s in Dance and Somatic Well-being in England. Driven by a strong social commitment, I have been creating and facilitating dance and body-based workshops for over a decade within community and medico-social settings. 

In 2020, I co-founded the association Rapprochées, dedicated to making dance accessible, alive, and shared. I am currently in my third year of the Matière training program created by Anne Expert, deepening my practice of Body-Mind Centering®. My approach: A dance of the living I experience the body as a sensitive landscape — a territory to listen to, explore, and inhabit. 

Movement becomes a subtle language, a visible trace of our inner world. Through embodied listening, I accompany people back to themselves, supporting their unfolding and their ability to meet the world with authenticity. 
The body-as-landscape invites an exploration of flows, structures, and transformations — bones, fluids, organs — like moving through a forest or a river. 
We are living landscapes in constant change, and dance is the poetry of this impermanence.
