More About Me
I was born in Marseille (South of France) and spent my childhood in Provence region, that has a special and unique place in my heart. I grew up surrounded by pine trees, whose scent blends with the aromas of thyme and rosemary in the sun-warmed pine forest. Not far away, the lavender, in season, enchants us with its fragrance and colour, and it certainly doesn’t leave the bees indifferent to its charm neither!
Why share this whole environment with you? Because it is the one which has shaped my senses from my very young age, with its smells, its flavours, its melodies (I haven't told you about the cicadas which invite themselves into our conversations, sometimes to the point of putting on a one-man show, forcing human conversations to pause just to listen to them and let us be lulled).So, the nature and all that comes from it, have always sought my attention. You could say that I started my career in the luxury industry! Could this be a paradox? Not at all actually, because the French luxury company in which I had the pleasure to work, has always been very attached to craftsmanship and the purity of materials. Furthermore, within the Perfumes Department, in which I worked in particular, it was a question of working with beautiful fragrances, whose notes came directly from our beautiful nature! I believe that nature has so much to offer and that perfumes bring people identity and above all well-being.
So, after studying International trade and foreign languages in Aix-en-Provence, London, Granada and Paris, I worked indeed for more than 15 years in Perfumes & Cosmetics, and Spa industry. I was passionate about sales development, establishing new sales strategies, collaborating in marketing plans development, increasing clients portfolios, negotiating with international distributors, reaching or exceeding turnover targets...etc.
A few years ago, just before the Pandemic more precisely, I was longing for developing new competences for “something” new. At the same time, I was looking for something meaningful, something that would really fit me in terms of values and who I am, and that could benefit the community. Then, one day, I was texting one sisters-in-law, to advise her to buy sea buckthorn for her husband for a skin issue, and she wrote me back, “Thank you Bea, Naturopath would fit you so well!" At that moment, I realised that I was always trying to find something to help people around me to make them feel better! Indeed I was always looking for the best appropriate cream, treatment, ingredient, book, activity, to suggest to people surrounding me to fit their needs, to cheer them up, to help them find balance when needed! Without knowing it, my sister-in-law was just showing me the path towards my new studies.
Fast forward four years, after completing my certification in Naturopathy, I am so happy to lead people on their path, trying to empower them to take care of their own health. Indeed, that’s what Naturopathy is about: a holistic approach of the person. That is to say, it considers you as a whole, composed of cells and emotions that interact together. As a result, the dietary, physical, psychological and emotional aspects impact the overall balance of your body. Naturopathy can help you find, maintain or restore your balance.
The mission of a naturopath is to help and support you to be proactive in improving your own health, by finding the origins of your unbalance and utilizing the appropriate tools that suit you best for a lasting balance. You are warmly welcome to open the door of my office to share your journey with me so that I can help you find what you are looking for to feel better in your MIND and BODY. I can't wait to meet you in person and open a new chapter with you to look ahead!
