    FRENCH MOTHER TONG / CHILDREN / HAPPY MINDED / MOUNTAINS / HEALTHY MEALS (Raw fruits - Raw and cooked vegetables - Nuts - A few starches - meat/fish/eggs/dairy once in a while)

    WHO ?

    Laetitia is in love with a simple lifestyle and spending time with children.
    She’s interested in self development and transmission of her knowledge.
    She also likes making her home a pretty place and using her hands to make it happen. Currently turning into a home organizer after having kept many things.
    She is trained in the 8 shields model to connecting with nature, as a hiking guide, to animate philosophic and mindfulness courses with children, in the Montessori pedagogy (instruction/education) and in Gordon communication method (non-violent communication).

    Our native language is French and can help you in this way, I’ll be happy to correct you if you want me to. Notice that I also speak English.

    There are 3 children at home, and often have other children coming to our place, especially during school break. It happens that they are up to 9-10 children here. I like being with them and enable them to experiment to take care of the garden, the animals, learn about plants and wild life, spend time in the forest, make creations, practice mindfulness, experiment talking circles ... I am also keen on giving them the opportunity to enjoy and play all together in a nice and peaceful area.

    We live with 2 sheep and a cat.


    WHERE ?

    We live in a former farm house in the Alps, at the edge of the biggest natural reserve in France, in a calm hamlet (760 m) where runs a small river, situated in the South East of France, in between Valence and Grenoble (both 1½ hour away).
