Who can benefit from your mental coaching?

My mental coaching is for athletes of all levels, entrepreneurs and business leaders, artists and performers, as well as anyone seeking personal balance. Anyone can develop their mental capacities to perform under pressure, whatever their field of activity.

How is your approach different from traditional coaching?

My approach is built on the rigour of high-performance mental training, applied to personal and professional development. I combine performance and well-being, ambition and gentleness, structure and freedom, drawing on techniques proven in elite sport.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. I offer sessions in person in Rennes as well as by video call for clients across France and internationally. Online coaching is just as effective as in-person, thanks to tailored methods and personalized follow-up.

How many sessions are needed to see results?

The number of sessions varies with your goals and specific needs. Some issues can be addressed in a few sessions, while deeper work may require a structured program over several months. Each session is designed as targeted training for measurable progress.

Do you work on stress management and self-confidence?

Absolutely. Managing chronic stress and building self-confidence are central themes in my work. I use nervous-system regulation techniques, mental reprogramming, and psychological preparation specifically adapted to these challenges.

How does sports mental training apply to personal development?

The same mental skills that allow athletes to perform under pressure — focus, emotional management, resilience, visualization, discipline — transfer directly to personal and professional life. I adapt these methods to each client's specific context for concrete results.

Mental Training & Personal Development in Rennes and Online

Do you sometimes feel like you're going in circles despite your efforts?

Lack of confidence, stress, mental overload, loss of motivation, difficulty making certain decisions, or a need to find meaning again?

Whether it's a setback, a breakup, burnout, a career change, or simply a period of questioning, some stages of life can become real challenges.

In those moments, it often helps to step back — and to stop going through it alone.

Since 2011, I've worked with athletes, executives, students, artists, and private individuals to develop their mental resources.

My goal is to help you understand how you work, move past certain blocks, strengthen your confidence, and find more well-being, balance, and freedom in your choices.

Every program is personalized, in person in Rennes or online across France and French-speaking countries. In English too.

This personal development coaching and mental training is for anyone who wants to strengthen their self-confidence, better manage stress and emotions, find more well-being, or move forward more calmly in their life projects.

Why trust me?

For over 15 years, I've worked with people facing very different challenges, always with the same conviction: "we often have more resources than we think."

My experience alongside high-performance athletes, Olympic athletes, but also executives, students, artists, and private individuals has allowed me to develop an approach that is demanding, pragmatic, and deeply human.

The tools of mental training aren't just for performing in sport. They also help you handle everyday challenges better, regain confidence, strengthen your well-being, and durably improve your balance in life.

How can I help you?

Part of our behavior, our reactions, and our decisions is influenced by mechanisms we aren't always aware of.

Our mental habits, past experiences, coping strategies, and certain cognitive biases can sometimes protect us. Other times, they keep blocks, doubts, or repetitive patterns alive that stop us from moving forward the way we'd like.

My work is to help you understand how this operates, step back from certain limiting beliefs, and develop responses better suited to your goals, your values, and your reality.

Together, we can work on confidence, managing emotions, professional performance, work-life balance — and also on that essential question many people ask themselves at some point in their lives:

"Am I really building a life that looks like me?"

Because taking care of yourself isn't selfish. It's often the necessary condition for getting your energy back, being available for others, and building lasting balance.

Success isn't just about hitting targets. It's also about protecting your health, nurturing your relationships, staying true to your values, and moving in a direction that means something to you.

If you'd like to take stock of your situation or talk through what you need, I'd be glad to see how I can support you.

Sessions in Rennes or online across France and French-speaking countries. And in English if needed.
