"We all get to a moment (or several) in which we know something needs to change, most likely from us. Those moments are scary, confusing, and exhausting. Sometimes we only have questions or not even that; maybe it is just a gut feeling, which may be related to our professional career, personal life or often to both. Going through one of these changing periods, I met Cecile, and change turned into something approachable. Working together, she helped me to face challenges, past and present, even the ones I didn't know about but that were impacting me. Cecile has an exceptional capacity to listen and channel thoughts that sometimes we cannot put into words. With Cecile, you can find and listen to your own clear voice without the noise of others' expectations. I find it very valuable that she approaches our sessions together from reality. There is knowledge and expertise but also her own experience of going through a career change. I love books, but working with Cecile is not something you could replace with reading specific essays or theories; she brings something unique and irreplaceable to your journey, making it less fearsome and definitely more exciting. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Cecile, and I would recommend it if you want to enjoy the ride." – Senior Art Director

"After struggling my whole adult life to find my professional path, Cécile helped me finally understand what I really want from my career, and how to get it. She helped me ask myself the important questions, and didn't let me shy away from difficult answers! She is unfailingly kind and supportive, constantly reminding me to not get bogged down in doubt but to focus on my proven skills and successes, and to build from there. She also challenged some of my basic assumptions about my relationship to work, helping me learn to reduce my stress and find a better work/life balance." – Chief Operating Officer

"Introduced to Cecile's coaching service by a friend, I was lucky enough to find my myself being guided through a journey of self discovery and self exploration which left me feeling much more clarity, space and peace of mind.

"5/5- My experience with Cecile was wonderful. Using a combination of all of her skills she organically supported me and helped me on my way to healing some childhood traumas. She’s got such a beautiful calm energy and I felt very comfortable to be honest and express myself to her. Her language was always clear and non judgemental and her ability to listen and really hear what was going on within me, and then identify an appropriate action, was remarkable. I was surprised how much came out during the sessions and how quickly I made progress. Cecile made it clear that she was there for me outside of the sessions also which was a great comfort at time’s. I have gone through other therapies which definitely held their merit for me at the time, but what I loved about Cecile’s approach, is it was one of questioning. This room for self expression is freeing and enables one to build self trust and confidence as we work out all that’s been suppressed within. I highly recommend her services and will always be grateful for the help she gave me" – Dance Teacher and Performer
