"The love of nature and all things natural has been a constant in my life. We under-estimate the power that trees and clear blue skies can have on us both mentally and physically. The joy of eating simple food grown locally amongst friends is one the greatest pleasures in life. My mission is now to be able to share our home, to give people a chance to stop and ‘breathe’ – a chance to leave the world behind for a few days and enjoy the beauty all around us.."
Education is everything – whatever your age might be! I wish I had realised that when I was at school! As the mother of four grown-up children, I understand at first- hand how the ways in which people respond to situations and how the environment and pace of modern life has such a huge impact on our health and wellbeing. Through learning comes empowerment to make the best of ourselves and cope with all the pressures that are put upon us in modern times.
I have spent the last 12 years working in Education. As well as running courses in South West France and coaching private clients, I work with an organisation empowering school-age students to make an impact in their community. I am passionate about the natural world and helping my family, friends and clients flourish in a
positive atmosphere.
"The more coaching I do at Le Bêtet, the more I see how important Nature is to the way we think and feel about ourselves and the world in which we live and work. It has a profound and positive influence on our thought processes."
For me, coaching is a route to helping people reach their true potential. It should always be a shared journey. The coach is there to guide, not to direct. I place great emphasis on empathy and self-awareness and I have a strong belief in the importance of ethical issues to decision-making.
I hold an MA in Economics and Philosophy from the University of St. Andrews and am a visiting Professor in Communications at the Brussels International College of Journalism. My principal interests are gardening, theatre and history.
"My passion is helping others to find natural solutions to modern life."
My motto is ‘thrive not survive’. I help my clients achieve this. We have this gift of life so let’s make sure we shine and dance as bright, and as vibrantly, as we can. I am passionate about health and wellness. How nutrition can play such a big part in how we function but also how other complementary therapies can aid the whole body, mind, spirit so that you can truly glow with a vitality of life.
I am mother to four young children and have been through my own journey with an severe form of atopic eczema that controlled my life for 10 years. Until i embarked upon my own healing journey which led me to where i am now – free of it all.
I am a highly skilled and qualified reflexologist, flower essence practitioner , reiki practitioner and professional nutritional advisor.
I am nuts about sourdough, fermenting food and poetry.
"My work derives from a natural desire to paint the elusive dance of life."
Born in Buenos Aires, Florencia Cairo moved to live in Europe 30 years ago. Inspired not only by the memory of her native vast open spaces, stretching as far as the eye can see, but also by the journeys she has ‘shared’ with the great, indomitable female explorers, landscape has always been a constant in her work.
Influenced by the rolling landscapes of Argentina, her work fluctuates between the figurative and the abstract expressionist. She has a profound conviction that art can and should be seen as a powerful medium for the preservation of nature. Her paintings take the viewer on a journey of exploration to appreciate better the complex nature of our world and our place in it.
