Testimonials
“Maud’s online coach training enabled me to better include the body and use it as an instrument in my coaching work, and to be better able to access my intuition. I also deepened my capacity to develop embodied practices for my clients that support them on their journey of identifying, and ultimately changing their beliefs and assumptions about themselves.
I am now more attuned to my body and invite my clients more systematically and more skillfully to do the same.
I definitely recommend working with Maud: she is simply fabulous as a host, trainer and coach ! (I had the pleasure to experience her 1-1 as well)! She breaks the elements down in manageable steps even for people with little experience. She is clear and attuned to what is alive! Bravo, Maud. Learning with you is a pleasure!”
