Mindvalley Certified Life Coach

"Thanks to this program, I coached myself by applying the techniques and got out of depression"

Hi there! I'm French and I lived in Paris, New York, Hong Kong, and now, I live in Qatar since the end of 2020. 

After a few months of working in Qatar, I got pregnant, such exciting news ! My husband and I were so happy. However, when I was 4.5 months pregnant, I started to have some serious bleeding and my doctor told me that I had a high-risk pregnancy and had to bed rest. 

I went to the emergency few times and was so stressed. I finally delivered last year in October 2021. My baby girl Kaia was born at 29 weeks (6.5 months) and was admitted in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). I didn't see her, I didn't hear her, I didn't touch her. I had to wait the day after, on a wheelchair, to see her so little that I was scared to look at her in her incubator. 

It was the most stressful period in my life. Yes, I was in depression. My family and friends were not in Qatar with me, it was a tough period. 

I used to meditate (6-phase meditation) and do a quest on Mindvalley but I stopped. It's hard to apply what you learn when you are experiencing difficulties in your life. 

Then, I discovered MindValley Life Coach and I knew this is what I needed right now. I need to coach myself. Thanks to this program, I coached myself by applying the techniques and got out of depression. 

Also, I found beautiful people during the coaching lab that help me go through this. 

Today, I am so grateful for the program, for Ajit, Vishen and the coaches Fran, Bruno, Sudha and Sid, for the tribe. You changed my life and now I am so excited to help people around me, including all NICU mamas like! Kaia is now 5 month adjusted age and she is doing great !
