Coaching

My experience in finding a path outside the box has deeply informed my coaching work, which helps others in their own individual journey. I work with amateur practitioners, aspiring or emerging artists and as an artistic advisor on professional projects. I have experience working with both individuals and groups.
Language of instruction can be English, French or Spanish.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, all coaching is currently online only.

For new coachees, every session begins with a guided warmup to prepare the body for that day’s program and to prevent injuries.
Autonomous warm-up prior to class is only possible for advanced students after the warm-up routines have been established together.

Handbalancing

From the foundations of the discipline to a solid handstand regardless of your starting level.

Since in person coaching is not currently possible, we will safely work from your current level: from strengthening to headstands, tripods and ultimately handstands for people who can balance by themselves.

Artistic Consultancy

For aspiring professionals and emerging performers, I offer artistic consultation sessions aimed at helping you find and polish your style.
These sessions can be also built around a specific piece or number, at any stage. From early research to the last details, I can work as external eye, consultant or choreographer, putting my experience at the service of your idea to bring your work to the next level.

Flexibility

Whether you are a beginner or have been working on your flexibility for a long time.

From mobility, to general flexibility or a focus on a particular body part (back, legs…), we will work with active stretching to increase stability and control.

Conditioning

General or specific training to increase your strength, mobility and coordination.
All workouts will be designed for reduced spaces, with minimal equipment, and body weight only.

Dance your way to confidence

Confidence is not about body types or weight, but about connecting with yourself and your own beauty.
I will choreograph a piece inspired by my performing and burlesque experience, specifically for you at whatever fitness level you are comfortable with. From that base, we will work together to wake the bold, unapologetic sensual energy in you.

For current open classes, please visit the Brussels Art And Pole agenda.

One size does not fit all

My background in gymnastics, ballet and circus, often with traditional methodology, put an enormous strain on my body in my student years. Numerous injuries led me to believe that I was too fragile. However, since adapting my training routines to my own body and working with a longevity above virtuosity mindset, I have been able to perform professionally and increase my technical level almost injury-free.

Similarly, the typical approach used in many circus schools, based on repertoire tricks and shapes, did not work for me. I only flourished artistically when I could focus on the work I was interested in developing, at the intersection of disciplines and with an adventurous love of the unknown.

I believe that one needs to build from the individual’s mind and body to fully develop their potential.

My role as your coach

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, my job is to put my experience and expertise at your service and support you in your journey towards deepening your knowledge and skills, and achieving your goals-

I will commit to your process and create training programs in accordance with your level, body, mind, goals and needs. We will work together towards routines that work for you in the long term, with strong foundations and deep self-awareness to help you gain autonomy.

We will begin with an exchange to better understand where you’re coming from and if I am the right person for you. From then on, we will define how I can help you achieve your goals and prepare a specific training plan for you.
