ABOUT
The story behind Touched
HOW IT STARTED
What began as a search for physical healing
In my early thirties my body interrupted my busy lifestyle. I developed health issues in my ovaries and cervix that I could no longer ignore. I was passionate and driven, yet disconnected from a deeper listening to my body.
That period marked a turning point. Slowing down became necessary. What began as a search for physical healing gradually opened into a deeper inquiry into intimacy, boundaries, desire, responsibility and power.
Around the same time I entered a relationship that became an important field of practice. We chose to look closely at how we were relating: how we gave and received, where we avoided, where we controlled, and where we withdrew. It became a laboratory for honesty. We practiced expressing desire and limits with increasing precision. The relationship shaped me and my work deeply.
SINCE 2017
I immersed myself in training and coaching
Over the years I immersed myself in training and coaching in embodiment, intimacy, sexuality and trauma-informed work. This path was personal before it became professional. I wanted to understand myself more fully and to experience connection with greater integrity.
The Wheel of Consent, developed by Dr. Betty Martin, has contributed greatly to this journey. I trained with her and was a certified facilitator of her work from 2019 to 2023. The framework of giving and receiving continues to form a foundation in what I teach because it brings clarity to relational dynamics that often remain unconscious.
Since 2017 I have been offering workshops and working with individuals and couples. My background in intimate bodywork gives me a deep understanding of the nervous system and of the way relational patterns live in the body. Today I focus on facilitating spaces where people can practice honesty in real time, with support, structure and room to make mistakes.
My style is grounded and direct. I value clarity and work at a pace that allows depth to arrive gently.
I pay attention to what happens beneath the words and care about precise agreements, a clear no and a wholehearted yes.

WITH TOUCHED
I wish the same depth of impact for others.
This work has brought me closer to myself and given me language for what matters to me in love and in life. I share it with dedication, as I wish the same depth of impact in other people’s lives. I continue to practice and to meet my own edges with humility.
The name Touched reflects my own experience. This path has touched me deeply through love, loss, joy and confrontation. The spaces I hold are an invitation to let life touch you too, in ways that are honest, embodied and connected to our shared humanity.
I look forward to meeting you on this journey.
