I am French. I am 42 and I am a mother of three wonder boys: Jeremy, 8, Reuben, 7, and Jonah, 5. I am married to a handsome and chilled Luxembourgish man. Those four boys have turned my life around. I have recently become a Montessori Educator for Children 0–7. We used to live in London and we have now moved back to France where home is: we live in the beautiful Provence area, near Aix-en-Provence. I am currently finishing my training with Isabelle Filliozat (a parenting guru here in France) to become a better parent and eventually a parenting coach. Yep, all this hard work is definitely first and foremost aimed at improving my own world: my children (I needed tools desperately and I ended up with a new mindset instead), my own equilibrium (ok let’s spit the word: mental health!) and also my couple (happy children = happy couple and vice-versa!).
