My Bodymind journey started as a child in the Ivory Coast with vibrant health and an inquisitive mind.
I lived in France until I was 16 years old, and then my family relocated to Los Angeles. That uprooting catapulted me into a new definition of wholistic health. It led me to get my B.A. in Biology. My life is, and always has been, guided by a passion for movement, natural beauty, and fresh air.
Marriage, motherhood, and homeschooling my kids were my backdrop as I became a massage therapist in 1995. My vocation as a bodyworker and health practitioner has continued ever since. For decades, my will led the way.
The mind part of my Bodymind was in control. My body followed suit. Or so I believed. I was not cognizant of the synergy between my Body and my Mind. As I raised my family, transgenerational patterns of dysfunction and traumas became apparent. I had no clue of their existence.
I could no longer stomach certain aspects of my life. For no apparent reason, I started suffering from gastrointestinal issues. Suddenly, my body was not cooperating. I took a dive inward, still functioning on the outside.
During that time of crisis, understanding Kessler’s five survival patterns opened me to a new communication style in my self-talk, and in relationships. First comes energy; then, matter — our physical form.
