I’m here to do work that reconnects, rebalances, and restores

starting with myself

We live in a time that asks much of us — not just to cope, but to respond wisely, stay rooted in ourselves, and grow through challenge.

My work supports those who sense that leadership isn’t just a title, but a way of being — whether you’re guiding a team, raising a family, shaping a classroom, or setting the tone of a room.

This is for anyone who wants to lead and live with clarity, courage, and care — while protecting their own well-being and showing up for what matters.

You might see me as a coach, a facilitator, or a breathwork practitioner. These are just the forms. What I truly offer is presence, perspective, and a steady, supportive space to reconnect — to yourself, to others, and to what really matters.

You bring the question. We find the way.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Celine

I didn’t stumble into this work — I followed a quiet but undeniable calling that first surfaced on an ordinary bus ride home at the end of a long work day. I couldn’t name it then, but something in me knew: this was the work I was meant to do.

For two decades, I’ve been a seeker — not of titles, but of what truly heals, connects, and transforms. My path has woven through corporate leadership development, breathwork, executive coaching, trauma-informed work, and reflective practices like Nancy Kline’s Thinking Environment. Every tool I use is something I’ve lived, tested, and made my own.

If there’s a thread through it all, it’s this: I’m drawn to the places where something has come apart — where people feel disconnected from themselves, their vitality, or their sense of meaning. My work is to help gently weave those pieces back together, with presence, care, and compassion.

Beyond the work, I’m a mother of two teens, a bridge-builder, and a lifelong learner who finds joy in dance, books, daily cappucinos and deep conversations. Whether in stillness or movement, I believe growth begins when we meet ourselves and each other with honesty and care.

MY CERTIFICATIONS

I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to create a space where you can remember your capacity — to reset, re-pattern, and respond to life in a new way.

HOW I WORK

My work is a blend of science, ancient insight and modern practice. It lives at the intersection of leadership and wellbeing, performance and presence, breath and thought, body and language. I bring together:

∼ The spaciousness of Time to Think — where deep thinking and listening catalyse insight
∼ The wisdom of the breath — as a gateway to regulation, clarity, and emotional freedom
∼ The rigour of coaching — grounded in over 2,000 hours of practice across contexts and cultures
∼ The humility of someone who is still on the path — refining, learning, listening, growing

WHAT CHANGES FOR MY CLIENTS

Clients often arrive feeling pulled in too many directions, disconnected from their purpose and overwhelmed by exhaustion or uncertainty about where to begin.


After our sessions, they walk away with renewed clarity and a strong sense of agency, equipped with practical tools to regulate and restore themselves, confident in their decisions and reconnected to what matters most.

The work is often subtle, but the shifts are real. Not just mindset change — but nervous system change. Not just insight — but integration.

My Core Value

THE PRINCIPLES I RETURN TO, IN LIFE AND IN MY WORK.
THESE VALUES GUIDE HOW I SHOW UP, EVERY TIME.

CONNECTION

I believe in the strength of genuine human connection. Creating deep, trusting relationships with my clients is at the heart of everything I do. Transformation happens in spaces where we feel truly seen, heard, and safe.

EVOLUTION

Growth is a lifelong journey — for my clients and for myself. I am committed to continuous learning and refinement, and I shape my work to meet the evolving needs, rhythms, and contexts of each person I support.

AUTHENTICITY

I strive to show up fully as myself — honest, human, caring and transparent. I create space for others to do the same, knowing that real change begins when we dare to be real.
