My journey as a storyteller started with reading lots and lots of books. I imagined the worlds and characters I was reading about, as an extension of the written words.

​

At first, I told stories only to myself, about existential matters and the purpose of humanity. Stories came to me with the winds, thunderstorms and rainbows, the heather’s perfume on a hill, the morning bells of a church, birds’ songs, Ravel’s passionate Bolero, clouds’ shapes and twinkling stars, flowers and butterflies.

​

Then I told stories through improvised singing to a sad classmate at the school playground. The wordless songs were pure emotions, pure togetherness with the classmate and a higher level of consciousness: we formed for a moment a trinity of its kind and I was a medium between the other two. Around the same time, I invented stories and games to distract my younger sister from the conflicts at home. Later on, when we shared our bedroom, I made it a point for us to tell each other an improvised tale before going to sleep. I wanted us to build our virtual reality to distance ourselves from the tangible one. 

​

I underwent my first immersive experience around eight years old. A recording of an abridged version of Saint Exupery’s The Little Prince with sound effects left a strong impression on me and remains an inspiration to this day. From there, a couple of transformative moments occurred before I became a grown-up: An immersive theater representation of The Midsummer Night’s Dream in a marquee tent mesmerized me as a young teen, and the discovery of Puccini’s Tosca in a local theater stirred my guts. They opened my mind to new possibilities.

​

Inspired by Salvador Dali, I drew surrealistic landscapes late at night. They were the stories of my unexpressed feelings.

​

The first time I got paid for writing was to correct and write the code of rockets’ pilot studies for the French space agency. Not quite the creative and spiritual path I was hoping for. Around that time, I discovered hypnosis and how to transform my mindset through meditation. The gates of my inner world opened. I quit engineering for opera singing. I wanted to change the world with the power of emotions. Singing opera was a language of the heart with my audience, reinforced by music, scenery, character embodiment, and lastly, a storyline. 

 

As a side note, I'll tell you that it's not the story that matters to make an opera production successful (to be honest, the libretto is often incoherent or boring). A representation’s success really depends on how good storytellers the performing artists and artistic director are. 

​

Fast forward to a few years later, I earned a certification in humanist hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming to help myself and others transform their lives. Another few years later, I designed transformative meditations in a multisensory immersive style. And then, my first book The Journey of the Heart, a fiction written as a guide to empowering others to follow their inner calling, was published.

​

To me, changing the world means changing the boundaries of our inner worlds.

​

Voila, in short, the story of me.

Now, let me help you transport global audiences to the best version of themselves.
