Description
I am Swiss, from Geneva. My mother tongue is French and I am fluent in English and German and speak the ground of Spanish.
I am a yoga teacher. developing a sociocultural place for parents and children as from pregnancy period to adolescence of their children for some years, sustaining their parenting strength.
I worked then for 4 years in nurseries with groups of children from six months to four years old. Following that, I worked in the Steiner school's kindergartens for four- to six-year-olds, providing supervised study. This was an internship alongside my Steiner pedagogical teacher training.
Then as a teacher of Waldorf-Steiner school I worked in Switzerland then Germany for students from 7 to 12 and and as a teacher of French and English as a foreign language 7-17 years old with a specialization for children with special needs.
I am writing a book for youth and work on the illustrations, inspired by the wisdom of life, art, culture and communication and the creative human kind that we all are.
Next to my jobs, we renovated our village house and so learned a lot about ecological materials and trades, I can now carry out renovation work like wood, cement, painting of different kinds and house maintenance. I love materials and colors.
Actuelly, my adventure with the grown up children continues... In retrospective, i think that my jobs as independant follows the age of my own children :)
Since May 2023 on a land of 2000 m2 I develop with a close-knit team in my hometown Geneva a project open to the 12-28 years old young people in a shared governance, cultivating a permaculture garden, caring orchard of 40 fruit trees, and bees. My vision is to enable the youth in the heart of the city to be close to nature with other young people from the same ages, learning cultivating biological way their own vegetables, apiary running and to be rooted so as to develop better knowledge about ourselves and the living well together tools. www.lesjardinsdesjeunes.ch
Our great sons aged 24 and 26 are living in autonomy in Geneva and traveling.
While remaining very close to them, I began the woofing and workaway projects since June 2022 where I have been involved in great Iceland projects for 3 months and in France.
I welcomed also as a host 31 young woofers on my garden project and home during 2024 and 2025, an amazing rich and colorful experience.
