Born in France. Adulted in the US. Now thriving in Mexico at 60+ — painting, writing, and saying yes to things that scare me a little. Hosting transformational and inspirational Retreats, too.

I spent 23 years as a happiness coach — wrote books, gave a TEDx talk, opened The Center for Happiness, and led movements across 40+ cities. Then at 57 I packed a backpack, and my dog Lila and I moved to Mexico. I built a house at the edge of the jungle and also a life I love.

I write about reinvention, beauty, magic, and the tiny-big sacred moments that make life a gift.
