A Woman Who Refused to Succeed at the Cost of Herself
There was a season in my life when I had what many women dream of.
A growing coaching business. A beautiful family.
Ambition. Business Revenue. Momentum.
From the outside, it looked like success. But inside, I was exhausted.
Always thinking.
Always producing.
Always managing.
Always in go-go-go-do-do-do mode while feeling less and less alive.
My business was growing. But my joy was shrinking. My children began saying: “Mom, you’re busy, right?”
And something in me cracked open. Because I realized I had built a life that looked free… while feeling imprisoned by pressure.
I had become successful, but disconnected everywhere else.
And I judged myself harshly, because after already being a coach for 10 years, I believed I should have had it all figured out by then.
Then Came the Shift
Like so many women, I had inherited a model of success designed through masculine-coded principles:
Push harder.
Do more.
Grow faster.
Rest later.
And, like many women, I became very good at it.
But excellence inside the wrong system still creates suffering.
So I had to stop asking how to optimize exhaustion. And that's when I started asking myself some good coaching questions:
- How does a woman become successful without abandoning herself?
- How does she lead without hardening?
- How does she receive abundance without overgiving?
- How does she create impact while feeling deeply alive?
I researched, I dove deep into ancient systems of wisdom and modern science. I created tools for myself first. I applied them, fine tuned them and documented the results.
What Happened Next Changed Everything
I worked fewer hours. 40… then 30… then 20.
My revenue doubled. My creativity returned. My nervous system softened. My presence as a mother transformed.
And despite all my fears, I did not lose success. I finally redefined it without betraying myself.
The Thrive Formula™
The Thrive Formula™ is a holistic methodology I have created in 2022. It blends the ancient wisdom of the 5 Elements and energetic work with neuroscience, somatic healing and pragmatic coaching tools. The THRIVE Formula™ has helped hundreds of women to create transformation in their lives. We will work with the 3 pillars:
1. Reclaiming Your Power
Regulation & Stabilization
The result: more clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom.
2. Embodying Sovereignty
Connection with the Feminine Energy
The result: success feels light and deeply sustainable.
3. Aligning and Activating
Integration of the healthy Masculine Energy for structure, direction & embodied leadership
Once your energy is aligned, strategy becomes powerful again.
A Lifetime of Study and Service to Women
The Thrive Formula™ is the result of 14 years of coaching, entrepreneurship, and thousands of hours guiding women through coaching, mentoring, consulting, and teaching.
It is enriched by thousands of hours of advanced trainings and certifications in mindset coaching, embodiment practices, co-active coaching, solution-focused methods, psychometric tools, somatic trauma therapy, NLP, meditation, breathwork, yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Feng Shui, Astrology and Human Design.
Combined with my unique gift for reconnecting women to their true essence and highest potential, The Thrive Formula™ offers a holistic and timeless approach to life and business.
Its purpose is simple yet powerful: to help you stop running your business like a man, and instead create a business that supports you, nourishes you, and works in harmony with the woman you are.
This Is The Work I Guide Women Through
I help ambitious women who want to have it all, stop running their business like a man.
Not by rejecting their ambition, structure or success. But by integrating both energies:
Feminine Power (Yin)
= intuition, cyclical wisdom, magnetism, receiving, pleasure, presence
Healthy Masculine Energy (Yang)
= strategy, structure, clarity, execution, boundaries, momentum
Because women were never meant to choose between themselves and success.
The Results For My Clients Became Even More Spectacular
This work is transformation, not theory. With The Thrive Formula™ my clients achieved outstanding transformations and results.

Chrystel opened 2 offices in Paris in 3 months and 6 months later she makes 15% profit while working only 1 day per week in her business as a nutritionist.

Daphné launched her podcast and became a certified coach, two projects she has been postponing for years. Her podcast became TOP 1 in France on the day of its launch. She has a flexible schedule, takes off Friday afternoons and makes more revenue in her business than before.
Stop Running Your Business Like a Man
means becoming a Sovereign Woman.
And today, more than ever, we need sovereignty.
We need businesses and careers that hold us. Money that supports us.
Schedules that nourish us.
Relationships that feel alive.
Success that expands us instead of consuming us.
This Is For The Woman Who Knows:
There must be more than endless output.
More than performing competence.
More than being impressive while feeling empty.
You are here to thrive.
Welcome Home.
