I worked as a Paris Firefighter (BSPP) for five years, then as a professional firefighter for 15 years.

During my years of service, working with the population, I was exposed to all forms of violence. But the one that struck me the most is the one we encounter daily, in all strata of our society: loneliness. I thus understood how difficult it was for our contemporaries to live in relationships and to dare to live together.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for me to make this observation, both individually and collectively, and to measure to what extent each person's inner flame was running out of steam. I then undertook a professional reconversion and made a vow to preserve the inner flame of individuals while preventing relational fires.

When I became a father, I understood that everything was at stake from a very young age. I thus co-founded a school with alternative pedagogy, inspired by the "Forest-School": Upaya-L'École par Nature. We wanted this place to be a space for growth and development, where psycho-social skills would be at the heart of the project and where NVC would be the means of preserving a harmonious relational climate, creating a safe environment conducive to learning while preserving confidence and self-esteem.

During my journey on the certification course, I discovered innovative therapies such as Focusing, IFS, and especially Relational Intelligence. I decided to complete my professional retraining by becoming an IR® psychotherapist. The preventionist soul that I am quickly realized that taking into account our stories and traumas contributes to restoring relationships.

I thus understood that the power of the process proposed by Marshall Rosenberg found its essence through the body and the information it communicates to us. I then drew on my experience in martial arts (Systema, Qi Gong), which I have practiced and taught for almost 30 years, to offer, during my interventions, experiences of body awareness and thus feel and integrate the principles of NVC through Body Intelligence.

As the co-founder of the Training Institute ADN Self Connexion, I intervene in consulting and training with various structures in our country, such as companies, institutions, and associations, thus supporting my inspiration to contribute to the paradigm shift in our societies.
