2011 is when I started my journey as a coach, building all the skills I needed to boost my own resilience and help others too: yoga, Ayurveda, personal training, fitness group training, 1:1 coachings, nutrition science and longevity science.
I felt like I had achieved everything when I could create, promote and lead my holistic retreats on the most beautiful beaches of the world. But life gave me another path and I came to Switzerland 🇨🇭 5 years ago.
The intercultural shock from Africa to Zurich, the challenge of finding a job that fits the square thinking of the Swiss world, the unexpected arrival of my son in the middle of one of the most horrible relationships I have ever experienced.
But I had built up that resilience long ago and that foundation was what saved me, and still does every day.
I created a masterclass in longevity for women in perimenopause that sums up all of my research of many years and I am about to launch it on my new webpage. My fitness level is improving day by day at 41 and I honestly feel grounded despite all the challenges of rising my son alone and far from my family.
I want to share everything I learnt that made me strong 💪🏼 and allow other women to exit toxic abuse and reclaim their life!

Coming soon….. 🔜 stay tuned! ❤️

You have been asking for so Long what I eat before my zone 5 Workouts. As I am food-prepping for me and my son for the week to come, here one of my favourite longevity breakfasts for energy, gut health & long-term vitality 💛

🥣 Ingrédients (I Never measure):

Water
Oats (slow carbs + beta-glucan for heart health)
Chia seeds & flaxseeds (omega-3 + fiber for gut & hormones)
Soy flakes (plant protein + supports muscle & metabolism)
Cacao nibs (antioxidants + magnesium boost)
Coconut milk (healthy fats for sustained energy)
Dates (natural sweetness + potassium but mind eating them alone as they do create insuline Spikes)

🍓 I top it with strawberries, blueberries or blackberries depending on the season and what I have at home → extra antioxidants & vitamins
💊 Sometimes I add collagen for skin, joints & recovery but hate its flavour hehe

⚖️ Macros (approx.):
Balanced carbs for energy
Solid protein to support muscles
Healthy fats for hormones & satiety

Things I Learned This Year About Longevity, Energy & Protecting My Peace.

Today I turn 41.
And this year taught me that longevity isn’t just about living longer… It’s about living smarter.

Here are the things I learnt:

1. Your nervous system is your real anti-aging secret. Protect it at all costs. First is you, then is work.

2. Sleep is not lazy. It’s leadership and becoming a sleeping professional made my energy rise

3. Strength training is non-negotiable after 40. Muscle = metabolic youth.

4. If it spikes your cortisol daily, it’s aging you. Means: don’t skip breakfast!

5. Peace is prettier than drama. Prevent toxicity by spotting narcisists and avoidants.

6. An Active Flow fixes more than we give it credit for. I work a bit even when on vacation and have less stress overall.

7. Protein is not optional, but from natural foods and there is way more than meat out there!

8. Boundaries are a health strategy. Be clear and set values, and ask for what you want. Clear uncertainties from relationships (time and unmet expectations saver)

9. If your body feels tense around someone or something, listen. Don’t ignore red flags and do more of what you align with.

10. Lifting heavy builds more than muscle — it builds resilience both mentally and physically.

11. You don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to. Energy goes where your Focus goes, you won’t change people so why investing energy.

12. Morning light > scrolling. I still struggle with Swiss depressing Winters (the Swiss system is designed for machines, not to create happy humans). Quality time with loved ones is a Great replacement and I do love my son!

13. The right women in your circle will extend your lifespan. I don’t know about men though, this area is a work in progress 😂 as it’s rare to find a man who can support a relationship with a mom of a toddler. It needs to be a man with more stamina than average….

14. Stress shows up first in the face… and in the gut. Botox won’t fix your Stress Management, gratefulness and believes will (bless my yoga journey and Ayahuasca, i would not have survived the anti-human closeness of this country otherwise)

Love aging wisely! 🤘🥳
