About me
My mission — my heart’s calling, what truly moves me — is … to give horses a voice. … to help traumatized horses find their way back into relationship with humans. … to free horses from projections placed upon them. … to support horses in finding their rightful place in this world — without suppression. … to help horses step into their fullest strength and expression. … to help humans step into their fullest strength and authenticity. … to support people in integrating trauma. … so that true connection and relationship between horses and humans can emerge. … so that horses and humans can meet each other in peace.

My path with horses
Since my childhood, horses have held a central place in my life. They have been my first teachers, the silent guardians of my path.
Very early on, I felt that my connection with them went far beyond simple practice: a living, sensitive, and deeply transformative relationship.
After training as a psychiatric nurse, I chose to follow this calling: to live close to horses, nature, in community, and to commit to a more authentic way of being.

A deep immersion into the world of horses
In 2016, I trained in Natural Horsemanship in northern Germany. What was meant to be a step became a true foundation: I joined the team and evolved there for nearly seven years.
During this time, I developed a rich and well-rounded experience: • training of horses, including traumatized and unhandled ones, towards relaxation, trust, and lightness in the relationship, both on the ground and under saddle • mentoring and training future trainers • participation in equestrian shows • supporting humans in developing an aligned inner posture, as well as refining body language, timing, and energy for clear communication • work in liberty, on the line, and under saddle, encouraging lightness, refined responses to aids, and mental and physical relaxation • specific work on trailer loading with horses presenting significant difficulties, restoring trust and understanding step by step
It is also during this time that Faraon and Indigo enter my life — two beings who profoundly shape my evolution.

When meaning evolves
Over time, something within me begins to shift.
Despite the richness of this path, a sense of misalignment appears, along with an essential question:
What if, at its core, the relationship mattered more than the technique?
I begin to slow down, to step outside of the framework, to simply be with my horses, in freedom, in nature.
A different language starts to emerge.

A turning point
In 2020, a fall of Indigo marks an important turning point in my journey, leading me to deeply reconsider the way I am and work with horses.
⸻
From doing… to living relationship
In 2022, my path leads me to the south of France, to The Place of Grace.
There, a new dimension opens.
I reconnect with feeling, refined perception, and subtle listening. I rediscover horses in a different way — and myself with them.
My approach evolves deeply: less technique, more presence, less expectation, more relationship.
At the same time, I go through an inner journey supported by spiritual exploration and an increasingly refined understanding of life.

Supporting differently: horses & humans
My work naturally expands. Today, I increasingly support people in their personal journey, in connection with their relationship to the horse.
The heart of my work remains training horses, while also guiding humans in this learning process, allowing a harmonious, light, and trusting relationship to emerge, both on the ground and under saddle.
At the same time, I am training in Somatic Experiencing®️ and EQUUSOMA®️ to deepen my understanding of trauma dynamics and the nervous system, in order to better support both horses and humans.

Today
Today, I live in the south of France, at Terres d’Émeraude, created by Florence Emmeline Lombardini.
My approach connects structured training for both humans and horses, the relational dimension within the work, the nervous system, and the more subtle and intuitive dimensions of being.
I also travel to Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and Luxembourg to support those who wish to meet the horse… differently.
