What do spirituality, non-normative relationships, and being neurodivergent have in common?

For as long as I can remember, I have felt called to explore what exists outside established frameworks. My personal path has been built around this desire to create meaning differently: stepping outside of traditional relationship models, questioning society’s imposed expectations, and fully living who I am in all my dimensions. This spiritual journey has led me to discover the richness of non-normative relationships, to embrace my neurodivergence as a sensitive strength, and to ground myself in a living spirituality rooted in human experience.

Today, I support individuals and couples who, like me, do not fit into boxes. People who ask themselves questions about their orientation, their way of loving, believing, existing. What deeply moves me is being able to offer a space free of judgment, where each person can open up, deconstruct what does not belong to them, and reclaim their voice, their choices, their rhythm.

As a therapist and co-founder of the Divan bleu Academy, I am committed to equipping both individuals and professionals who accompany clients in ethical non-monogamy or living outside traditional norms. Too often, these people still have to explain or justify who they are. I want to offer them guidance, support, and words to express what is often left unsaid or misunderstood.

My practice is aimed first and foremost at those who seek to live authentic relationships, whether romantic, spiritual, or identity-based. I reach out to those who do not identify with dominant models and who want to create meaning in their own way. I accompany them with a stance of listening, radical respect, and sensitive presence, highlighting each person’s unique resources.

If you feel like you walk on the margins, if you are searching for meaning, or if you want to align with who you truly are, you are in the right place.

Here, no one will ask you to fit into a box, instead you will be supported in stepping out of it.

  To illustrate my many interests and curious nature: I finished my Bachelor’s degree in business administration when I was 21 years old. I then went to work in the business field for many years, in different positions including as a management consultant, recruiter and business owner in the service sector.

  I then accumulated many trainings and professional experiences in multiple domains: interior design, translation, literary creation, and, of course, therapy.

  I still work in most of these domains, offering my support to businesses, in interior design, in recruitment… nothing on my path was lost and it all contributed to the multi-faceted person I’ve become!
