for a long time, I thought
the problem was being seen.

The Story

When I was little, I was shy

I didn’t really like being looked at. So I started looking at others.
Their clothes, their colors, the way they walked into a room, held themselves, and took their place.I think I realized pretty early on that you can say a lot without opening your mouth.
Later, I worked in advertising. There, I learned to look for what makes a brand recognizable, desirable, and unique. But that didn’t matter much to me, because it lacked humanity.

turning point, in Canada

In Montreal, I was working in a boutique when two customers asked me to come to their homes to help them with their wardrobes. I said yes.
I thought I’d simply be helping them sort through their clothes. But when I opened their closets, I discovered a part of their private lives. And most importantly, I saw what happened when they tried on something they truly identified with.
Something changed in the way they carried themselves. So I trained in image consulting in Paris, and then I began to develop my own, more holistic approach to coaching.

ever since then, I see style as language.

I believe in clothes that make you want to go out. In colors that bring a face to life. In jewelry that’s just a little too big. In ideas you’d never have dared to try.
Above all, I believe that we can be many different women in the course of a single lifetime. And that we don’t have to dress like the woman we were yesterday.
My job is to help you see your reflection in a new light, so that it once again becomes a place where you want to be.
