Bonjour,
Hello, my name is Claude, I am a psychosynthesis life coach, holistic counselor and teacher. I help my clients relax, open a blossom into their life while facing the many challenges to find one’s place in the world as a human being.
Originally from Switzerland I grew up speaking French in a small medieval town and studied in Geneva. My first career of 15+ year was as a graphic designer and art director in advertising, fashion and finance, in Berlin and New York City; this lead me to learn German and English. Adjusting to the different cultures and languages was difficult yet rich, fulfilling and rewarding.
My second career, as a private French coach and teacher for 20+ years, brought me closer to people, to their dreams, their fears and challenges around learning, communicating and self-expression. It taught me to listen deeply and to help my clients go beyond their limitations, not only in French but in any languages and as human beings.
The experiences, skills and knowledge I gathered over the years lead me to focus my work on life transition, stress and pain management, relationships with the Self and others, and the integration of the whole of who we are. I believe that coaching is a journey to reconnect with our heart and soul leading us to live our life in harmony with our values and purposes.
In my free time I explore and expand my life through art, dance, writing, yoga as well as by spending time in nature, cooking, and nurturing the people I love in my life. As for my own blossoming, I keep my curiosity open by connecting with people of all walks of life when traveling the small and big roads of this amazing world.
