What draws me to acting is this immense curiosity for the human condition. As a
means to better understand myself and the subconscious beliefs that drive us, I
started practicing a psycho-energetic modality called ThetaHealing in 2005. I was
able to develop my intuition, tailor an unconventional career adapted to my skills,
and witness physical healing in myself and others. I am also a graduate of the
Merce Cunningham Studio in modern dance and Upright Citizens’ Brigade in
improvisation comedy.

I grew up with a special connection to nature at my father’s farm in the French
countryside, and exposed to alternative remedies thanks to my mother’s
background in medicine. Performance brought me to New York City where I studied
the body as an instrument: dance, voice, acting.
Ready? Play, explore, surprise yourself—listen to what your body has to teach you!
As an outgrowth from my singing and acting career, studying yoga, pranayama,
opera, and helping disabled elders, I developed a set of exercises to connect the
body and voice. Body-Voice: Creative Instrument™ is the experience of integrating
movement and sound simultaneously to free vocal and physical blocks, balance
your energy to incur physical healing, strengthen your communication and
awareness.
