Hi,
My name is Héloïse. I was born in 1983 in Paris.
Growing up, I was not a very focused student. I never really knew what I wanted to do with my life, so I followed the path that was put in front of me.
This took me to University, then Business School, and in 2007 I started working in advertising as a project manager, attracted by the cool workspace and the fast-paced environment.
From there, I started climbing the ladder. Over the course of 15 years, I worked in renowned agencies, for prestigious clients, gained international experience, won several awards and got promoted to International Account Director.
On paper life was good.
It looked like I had ticked all the boxes. I was destined for a bright future, a comfortable salary, a nice apartment and vacations abroad every year.
But the reality was that I was spending my week working and my weekends recovering.
The hamster wheel was spinning at full speed. I was exhausted, stressed out and the feeling that I was missing out on my life grew inside me year after year.
My work was lacking meaning and purpose and I felt like I was constantly in survival mode, counting the days to the next break.
Something had to change.
But how? I felt stuck. And scared.
What did I want? What if I failed? What would others say?
To find the answers to my questions, I tried everything. I went travelling alone, read dozens of self-help books, and spoke with family and friends. But nothing worked.
Until my friend, Amélie asked, “Have you considered working with a coach?”
I was sceptical at first but I had tried everything else. So I took the leap.
And then my life changed forever.
Through a journey of self-discovery, I gained confidence and clarity. I redesigned my life to fit my values and aspirations.
This led me to leave Paris, my job, and my flat. I moved to the south of Portugal and reconnected with my love for surfing.
I have since started a new adventure in Cape Town, alongside my South African partner.
I've never felt more alive, more aligned and at peace.
From this experience, I discovered the impact of coaching and I had to share it with the world.
I decided to become a coach myself. My mission in life is clear. I help people to find their way back to a fulfilling professional and personal life.
