From strength of mind to listening to the body
For most of my life, I believed deeply in the power of the mind.
I had spent over twenty years working on mindset, resilience, and inner strength — learning how to adapt and keep moving forward, even when life was challenging.
Then, in 2021, everything stopped.
After two months in hospital and 35 days in a coma, I woke up to a body I no longer recognized. I had lost nearly 10 kilos of muscle, suffered from memory loss, dizziness, and extreme weakness. Simple actions — standing, walking, even holding myself upright — required enormous effort.
For the first time in my life, there was a painful gap between what my mind wanted and what my body was able to do.
That experience marked the beginning of a different kind of strength — one built on patience, listening, and deep respect for the body.

Healing while being a mother
At the same time, I was navigating this recovery as a single mother.
My daughter was 11 years old, and while my love for her gave me strength, my body needed calm, safety, and rest to heal.
That is when I received an extraordinary gift of support.
My sister and her husband welcomed my daughter into their home for several months, creating a safe and loving environment where she could continue her schooling. This support allowed my nervous system to settle and gave my body the conditions it needed to recover.
Healing is rarely a solitary journey.
Sometimes, it begins when we are deeply supported.

When the body asks for something different
My mindset was strong.
My will was strong.
But my body needed something else: time, gentleness, and listening.
I spent over a month in a wheelchair.
Then came physiotherapy — two to three sessions a week — learning step by step how to walk again.
At first, I could stand only for a few minutes.
Later, I could walk slowly for half an hour.
Running was impossible. Everything had to be rebuilt, carefully and patiently.
This experience transformed my relationship with my body forever.
Choosing cooperation over force
I decided to support my recovery not by pushing, but by collaborating with my body.
I focused on simple, consistent foundations: conscious breathing, meditation and affirmations, deep restorative sleep, nourishing natural food, and daily routines that respected my limits.
With my background in wellness, I also supported my body with high-quality supplementation, alongside simple habits inspired by my mother’s wisdom.
Little by little, something shifted.
Not only physically — but in the way I listened to myself.
Within a few months, I was back on my feet.
My doctors were surprised by the speed of my recovery.
But I knew why it worked:
I had stopped fighting my body — and started working with it.
A life shaped by movement and responsibility
I was born in Vietnam and moved to Switzerland with my family at the age of seven. Growing up between cultures taught me early how to adapt, observe, and move forward with sensitivity rather than rigid structure.
As the eldest of five children, responsibility came early. Care, presence, and resilience were not concepts — they were lived experiences.
For a long time, my nature was intuitive, fast-moving, and creative. Structure did not come naturally; it was something I learned later through experience, self-awareness, and inner work.
Today, living in Portugal, I choose a life that supports balance, nervous-system regulation, and presence — both for myself and for the people I accompany.
In many ways, my body understood these needs long before my mind could name them.
Discovering Sujok: a revelation, not a technique
During my recovery, I discovered Sujok therapy in Paris.
What began as a personal healing experience became a revelation:
the body carries an extraordinary intelligence — when we know how to listen to it.
Sujok resonated deeply with everything I had lived:
• gentleness instead of force
• precision without aggression
• respect for the body’s rhythm
• autonomy and awareness
It wasn’t about fixing the body.
It was about supporting its natural ability to heal.
My mission today
Today, my daughter is 15 years old, soon 16.
My work is devoted to accompanying others with presence, humility, and respect — especially those who feel weakened, overwhelmed, frustrated, or disconnected from their bodies.
Whether someone is living with pain, tension, exhaustion, or simply seeking balance, my approach is gentle, non-invasive, and deeply human.
I don’t promise miracles.
I offer listening, guidance, and a safe space to reconnect with your body — step by step.
Because healing is not about pushing harder.
It’s about learning to listen better.
This journey shapes the way I work today — with patience, precision, and deep respect for the body.
