My story

My Journey to Success, Joy & Happiness!

"Discover how you can, too, realize your dreams."

Over 25 years ago, my husband and I took a leap of faith, leaving behind our corporate careers in Belgium to build a life we had only dreamed of in the South of France.

“Together, we Followed our hearts to realize our dreams”

and launched ALEGRIA, a luxury B&B and Art Boutique that embodied the “joy of life.” For two decades, we poured our passion into creating meaningful experiences for our guests. Alongside this, we pursued our creative interests as a freelance author and photographer, contributing to renowned magazines and travel guides.

Today, we’ve expanded our entrepreneurial pursuits to include ALEGRIA REAL ESTATE, where we showcase exceptional properties, and ALEGRIA COACHING, where I empower driven businesswomen to reclaim their time, energy, and joy—without sacrificing success.

But the path to success was far from smooth. Around 2010, our business faced a significant challenge as competition skyrocketed. The market was flooded, prices plummeted, and our value dropped drastically. We were at a crossroads: adapt or risk losing everything.

Instead of backing down, we innovated. We invested in our services, added more value, and made the bold decision to double our prices. It was terrifying at first, but by the end of that year, we had achieved our best results yet. Not only did we attract high-end clients who valued our work, but we also built long-term relationships that fueled sustainable growth.

This experience taught us that "Turning Challenges into Opportunities" is the cornerstone of lasting success—a principle I now share with my clients.

Three Pillars of Success and Fulfillment

Through this journey, we discovered 3 essential pillars for achieving professional success while living a balanced, joyful life:

✮ Creating More Time to truly enjoy life

✮ Creating More Wealth to thrive
✮ Creating More Impact for fulfillment

These elements became the foundation of my signature "Joy of Life" Method, where I empower ambitious women to align their professional goals with personal happiness and wellbeing.

These transformations—and countless others—reinforce my belief that success doesn’t have to come at the expense of joy.

My Mission: Your Success

Today, I pour everything I’ve learned into ALEGRIA COACHING, helping women like you achieve success and fulfillment by "working smarter, not harder". My mission is to help you create more Clarity, more Energy, and more Time to do what you Love—so your life feels as successful as it looks.

Experiences & Trainings

In addition to my 28 years of experience in corporate business and entrepreneurship, I am a certified coach committed to continuous growth and lifelong learning—both for myself and to better serve my clients.

I believe that mastering coaching is an ongoing journey. Every training I pursue, every mentor I learn from, and every skill I refine adds depth and perspective to my work. This dedication to personal and professional development allows me to guide others with a holistic and ever-evolving approach.

Here are some key trainings, programs, and mentors that have shaped my coaching philosophy:

  ...

These experiences have taught me invaluable lessons in time mastery, health, wellness, presence, entrepreneurship, and intuition. They fuel my commitment to personal excellence and allow me to guide my clients with the highest level of expertise and insight.

I’m on a never-ending path of growth, because the more I evolve, the more powerfully I can help others thrive.

In my spare time, I’m deeply passionate about interior design, creating contemporary art and photography.

I also love traveling and exploring the world, practicing sports like swimming, dancing, hiking, and yoga, and playing the piano. These activities keep me energized and balanced. I especially treasure being in nature. Nature reminds me to pause, breathe, and appreciate the present moment, a practice I integrate into my coaching to help my clients find their own grounding and clarity.

Music, meditation, and yoga are central to my daily routine, fostering mindfulness and self-awareness.

Above all, I’m a proud mom of two curious and joyful teenagers and a passionate wife.
