I am born in 1969 in France and I am married to Erik with whom I have a son.

After my legal studies both in France and Luxembourg, I have spent 12 years as a lawyer both at the bar and in-house in Luxembourg and Frankfurt am Main. In 2005, I have changed the course of my professional career to become organisational developer dealing with business processes, corporate culture and change management. In 2007, I have taken management responsibilities in our HR department. I am active in the banking sector.

In addition to this fulfilling working life, I give meditation classes in my workplace, host with my husband various groups in the field of personal development and organise and lead a few seminars a year.

I am born in 1960, I am Swedish and married to Valérie. I have three daughters from a first marriage. After having lived also in Saudi Arabia, Luxemburg and Brussels I have settled down in Frankfurt 8 years ago.

I studied business administration at the University of Lund in Sweden and done an MBA at Stockholm University. For the last 20 years I have been active in the financial sector in a variety of roles in private and public institutions at national and international level. I am currently active in the banking sector.

I completed NLP practitioner and master level. Since several years I participate regularly to Reiki exchange. During a trip to China I got interested in Tai Chi and Qi Gong and was member of a school in Frankfurt during a couple of years. After a few visits to Findhorn I also got interested in the Transformation Game and support my wife as a co-facilitator. Currently I am following the operative training in Astroshamanism as well as practicing sacred dance.
