​« The Mirror of Yourself » is a reflection of the journey inward, a map of terrain I’ve uncovered, and a celebration of the freedom I’ve found by being unapologetically myself.
 

This book stands as a testament to profound self-reflection, encapsulating an inward journey shaped by a myriad of life experiences.

 

I often feel akin to a psychonaut, navigating the depths of my own psyche.

 

Each chapter unfolds as a progression from suffering to a state of liberated existence, marking a transformative odyssey that I believe will resonate deeply with those engaged in their own personal growth.

​

Steeped in the realms of psychology and philosophy. I present these insights filtered through my unique lens of experience and expression.

 

Drawing inspiration from the seminal work of Carl Jung, this book is ultimately a heartfelt offering to the world, aimed at fostering tranquility within the human Spirit and nurturing connections among individuals in a society anchored in love and peace.

A graduate of the Hotel Management School of Geneva with early years spent in the legal field, my path soon diverged toward a more soulful calling.
‍
I embarked on a profound journey of self-exploration, through diverse life experiences all around the world, yoga, philosophical inquiry, passionate relationships,  immersion in nature.
‍
My passions orbit around the mysteries of the human psyche, existentialism, altered states of consciousness, female sexuality, and spirituality.
‍
As a pianist and contemporary dancer, movement and stillness coexist in my expression.
‍
Writing, (articles, poems, essays) has been here all along, since I was a child, as a way to heal, yet especially a way to understand all the things I couldn’t understand without a paper and a pen.
